$A$ man can row $30 \text{ km}$ downstream and return in a total of $8 \text{ h}$. If the speed of the boat in still water is $4$ times the speed of the current,then the speed of the current is ....... $\text{km/h}$.

$A$ river is flowing with a steady speed of $4\, km/h$. One rows his boat downstream in the river and then returns by rowing upstream in the same river. When he returns to the starting point,the total distance covered by him is $42\, km$. If the return journey takes $2\, h$ more than his outward journey,then the speed of his rowing in still water must be (in $km/h$)

$A$ man can row at $10 \text{ km/h}$ in still water. If he takes a total of $5 \text{ h}$ to go to a place $24 \text{ km}$ away and return,then the speed of the water current is $... \text{ km/h}$.

Rahul can travel $12 \text{ miles}$ downstream in a certain river in $6 \text{ hours}$ less than it takes him to travel the same distance upstream. But if he could double his usual rowing rate for his $24 \text{ mile}$ round trip,the downstream $12 \text{ miles}$ would take only one hour less than the upstream $12 \text{ miles}$. What is the speed of the current in $\text{miles/hour}$?
