Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 1 km / hour

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Upstream speed \( S_{up} = \frac{15}{5} = 3 \) km/hour Downstream speed \( S_{down} = \frac{25}{5} = 5 \) km/hour Speed of stream \( v_s = \frac{S_{down} - S_{up}}{2} = \frac{5 - 3}{2} = \frac{2}{2} = 1 \) km/hour
