$A$ person can row a certain distance downstream in $6$ $hours$ and return the same distance in $9$ $hours.$ If the stream flows at the rate of $2 \frac{1}{4} \text{ km/h},$ find how far he can row in an hour in still water (in $\text{km/h}$).

  • A
    $10 \frac{1}{4}$
  • B
    $11 \frac{1}{4}$
  • C
    $12 \frac{1}{4}$
  • D
    $13 \frac{1}{4}$

$A$ man swimming in a stream which flows at $1 \frac{1}{2} \text{ km/h}$ finds that in a given time he can swim twice as far with the stream as he can against it. At what rate does he swim? (in $\text{km/h}$)

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 $\text{miles/hour}$?
