A motor boat going down stream comes over a floating body at a point A . 60 minutes later it turned back and after some time passed the floating body at a distance of 12 km from the point A .Find the velocity of the stream assuming constant velocity for the motor boat in still water.

A swimmer crosses a river with minimum possible time 10 Second. And when he reaches the other end starts swimming in the direction towards the point from where he started swimming. Keeping the direction fixed the swimmer crosses the river in 15 sec. The ratio of speed of swimmer with respect to water and the speed of river flow is (Assume contant speed of river & swimmer)
