(B) Let the distance to the point be $d 	ext{ km}$.Speed in still water $(u)$ = $10 	ext{ km/h}$.Speed of the river $(v)$ = $4 	ext{ km/h}$.Upstream speed = $u - v = 10 - 4 = 6 	ext{ km/h}$.Downstream speed = $u + v = 10 + 4 = 14 	ext{ km/h}$.Time taken for upstream journey $(t_1)$ = $\frac{d}{6} 	ext{ hours}$.Time taken for downstream journey $(t_2)$ = $\frac{d}{14} 	ext{ hours}$.Total distance = $2d$.Total time = $t_1 + t_2 = \frac{d}{6} + \frac{d}{14} = \frac{7d + 3d}{42} = \frac{10d}{42} = \frac{5d}{21} 	ext{ hours}$.Average speed = $\frac{	ext{Total distance}}{	ext{Total time}} = \frac{2d}{5d/21} = 2d 	imes \frac{21}{5d} = \frac{42}{5} = 8 \frac{2}{5} 	ext{ km/h}$.

$A$ man can row at a speed of $10 \text{ km/h}$ in still water to a certain upstream point and back to the starting point in a river which flows at $4 \text{ km/h}$. Find his average speed for the total journey (in $\text{km/h}$).

$A$ man can row $30 \text{ km}$ upstream and $44 \text{ km}$ downstream in $10 \text{ hours}$. Also,he can row $40 \text{ km}$ upstream and $55 \text{ km}$ downstream in $13 \text{ hours}$. Find the rate of the current and the speed of the man in still water.

$A$ boat goes $6\, km$ upstream and back again to the starting point in $2\, hours$. If the velocity of the stream is $4\, km/hr$,what is the speed of the boat in still water? (in $km/hr$)

$A$ man can row $30 \text{ km}$ downstream and return in a total of $8 \text{ h}$. If the speed of the boat in still water is $4$ times the speed of the current,then the speed of the current is ....... $\text{km/h}$.

$A$ boat travels $18 \, km$ upstream in $6 \, hours$. How long (in $hours$) will it take to cover the same distance downstream if the speed of the current is one-fourth the speed of the boat in still water?

$A$ man swimming in a stream which flows at $1 \frac{1}{2} \text{ km/h}$ finds that in a given time he can swim twice as far with the stream as he can against it. At what rate does he swim? (in $\text{km/h}$)
