Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(4 km / hr\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( S_{downstream} = \frac{40 \text{ km}}{2.5 \text{ hrs}} = 16 \text{ km/hr} \) \( S_{upstream} = \frac{40 \text{ km}}{5 \text{ hrs}} = 8 \text{ km/hr} \) \( S_{current} = \frac{S_{downstream} - S_{upstream}}{2} = \frac{16 - 8}{2} = \frac{8}{2} = 4 \text{ km/hr} \)
