$A$ river is flowing at a speed of $5\, km/h$ in a particular direction. $A$ man,who can swim at a speed of $20\, km/h$ in still water,starts swimming along the direction of flow of the river from point $A$ and reaches another point $B$ which is at a distance of $30\, km$ from the starting point $A$. On reaching point $B$,the man turns back and starts swimming against the direction of flow of the river and stops after reaching point $A$. The total time taken by the man to complete his journey is:

Rahul can travel $12 \text{ miles}$ downstream in a certain river in $6 \text{ hours}$ less than it takes him to travel the same distance upstream. But if he could double his usual rowing rate for his $24 \text{ mile}$ round trip,the downstream $12 \text{ miles}$ would take only one hour less than the upstream $12 \text{ miles}$. What is the speed of the current in $\text{miles/hour}$?
