A man rows 40 km upstream in 8 hours and a distance of 36

A man rows 40 km upstream in 8 hours and a distance of 36 km downstream in 6 hours. Then speed of stream is

As per the given in question ,

∴ Speed of Stream =	Rate downstream - Rate upstream
	2

Speed of stream =	1		36	-	40
	2		6		8

Speed of stream =	1	= 0.5 kmph
	2

Second method to solve this question :

Here, p =	36	= 6 kmph
	6

q =	40	= 5 kmph
	8

Speed of Stream =	p - q	=	6 - 5	= 0.5 km/hr
