A man can row downstream at the rate of 26 Kmph and upstream at 12 Kmph. Find the man’s rate in still water and rate of current?
Choices
A) 8.5
B) 8.0
C) 9.5
D) 7.0
E) 8.25
Rate of still water = 1/2 (down stream + upstream)   = 1/2 (26 + 12) = 19 Kmph   rate of current = 1/2 (down stream - upstream)   = 1/2 (26 - 12)   = 1/2 (14)   = 7 kmph   Answer is 7.0.
