The speed of stream is 3 km/hr
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that girl is swimming downstream
To find: Speed of stream
In still water she can swim at 2km/h and the river is flowing with her
Speed in still water = 2 km/hr
She covered a distance of 12km in 2h 24 min
Distance = 12 km
time taken = 2h 24 min =
Therefore,
<em><u>If the speed of a boat in still water is u km/hr and the speed of the stream is v km/hr, then: </u></em>
Speed downstream = (u + v) km/hr
5 km/hr = 2 km/hr + v
v = 5 - 2
v = 3 km\hr
Thus speed of stream is 3 km/hr
