Question 1:
A man rows 750 m in 675 seconds against the stream and returns in 7 and half minutes. His rowing speed in still water is
A. 4 kmph
B. 5 kmph
Feedback Rate upstream = (750/675) = 10/9 m/sec
Rate downstream (750/450) m/sec = 5/3 m/sec
Rate in still water = (1/2)*[(10/9) + (5/3)] m/sec.
25/18 m/sec =(25/18) × (18/5) kmph = 5 kmph
C. 6 kmph
D. 7 kmph
