There is a road beside a river. Two friends started from a place $A,$ moved to a temple situated at another place $B$ and then returned to $A$ again. One of them moves on a cycle at a speed of $12\, km/hr,$ while the other sails on a boat at a speed of $10\, km/hr.$ If the river flows at the speed of $4\, km/hr,$ which of the two friends will return to place $A$ first?

The speed of a boat in still water is $6\, km/hr$ and the speed of the stream is $1.5\, km/hr$. $A$ man rows to a place at a distance of $22.5\, km$ and comes back to the starting point. The total time taken by him is

$A$ boatman rows $1\, km$ in $5\, min$ along the stream and $6\, km$ in $1\, h$ against the stream. The speed of the stream is in $km/h$:

$A$ 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:

$A$ man can row at the rate of $3.5 \, km/h$ in still water. If the time taken to row a certain distance upstream is $2 \frac{1}{2}$ times as much as the time taken to row the same distance downstream,find the speed of the current in $km/h$.

Two boats $A$ and $B$ start towards each other from two places,$108 \text{ km}$ apart. The speeds of boats $A$ and $B$ in still water are $12 \text{ km/h}$ and $15 \text{ km/h}$,respectively. If $A$ proceeds down the stream and $B$ proceeds up the stream,they will meet after .......... $\text{h}$.
