A man can row downstream at the rate of 24 Kmph and upstream at 7 Kmph. Find the man’s rate in still water and rate of current? Answers
A) 8.5
B) 8.0
C) 9.5
D) 9.0
E) 8.25
Rate of still water = 1/2 (down stream + upstream)   = 1/2 (24 + 7) = 15.5 Kmph   rate of current = 1/2 (down stream - upstream)   = 1/2 (24 - 7)   = 1/2 (17)   = 8.5 kmph   8.5nswer is 8.5.
