A swimmer swims due to

A swimmer moving upstream passes a float at point P .After two hour, he returns and at this instant it meets the float again at a distance 15km from the point P .If the swimmer velocity in water remains constant, Then find the speed of river flow.

In a fixed time, a boy swims double the distance along the current that he swims against the current. If the speed of the current is 3 km/h, then find the rate of swimming in still water.

If the speed of a swimmer in still water is 9 km/h. Find the down stream speed of the swimmer,whenthe river is flowing with the speed of 6 km/h.
