$A, B$ and $C$ are situated on the bank of a river which is flowing at a constant rate. $B$ is at an equal distance from $A$ and $C$. $A$ swimmer Avinash takes $10 \, h$ to swim from $A$ to $B$ and $B$ to $A$. Also,he takes $8 \, h$ to swim from $A$ to $C$ in downstream. What is the ratio of the speed of Avinash in still water to the speed of the stream?

$A$ man can swim in still water at $9.6 \text{ km/hr}$,but takes twice as long to swim upstream as he does downstream. The speed of the stream is ......... $\text{km/hr}$.

Rohit can row a certain distance downstream in $8$ $hours$ and return the same distance in $12$ $hours$. If the stream flows at the rate of $5$ $km/hr$,find the speed of Rohit in still water (in $km/hr$).

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 $\text{miles/hour}$?
