Time = Distance/Speed. Let us assume the speed of the stream is equal to x km/hr. The speed for upstream will be equal to x-5 km/hr. the speed for downstream will be equal to x+5 km/hr. Since in upstream the stream will resist against but in downstream it will aid. The time taken to dive upstream = 40/(x-5)...

Since in upstream the stream will resist against but in downstream it will aid. The time taken to dive upstream = 40/(x-5) hr, the time taken for downstream = 40/(x+5) hr. Since 40/(x-5) = 2*40(x+5), x=15 km/hr. read less
