A boatman rows to a place 45 km distant and back in 20 hours. He finds that he can row 12 km with the stream in same time as 4 km against the stream . Find the speed of the stream.
Let the speed of the boat be u and that of stream be v.
12/u+v = 3/u-v
4u - 4v = u + v
3u = 5v
45/u+v + 45/u-v = 20
Putting value of u in above equation and solving, we get
v = 3 km/hr [speed of stream]
