  1. A man can swim 3 km/hr in still water. If the velocity of the stream be 2 km/hr, the time taken by him to swim to a place 10 km upstream and back is ?
    1. 81/3 hrs
    2. 91/5 hrs
    3. 10 hrs
    4. 12 hrs
Correct Option: D

Speed upstream = (3 - 2) km/hr = 1 km/hr
Speed downstream = (3 + 2) km/hr = 5 km/hr
Total time taken = (10/1 + 10/5) hr = 12 hrs.
