Answer: 2.5 kms Solution:  u = 8 km/hr;  v = 2 km/hr Speed downstream = (u+v) = 10 km/hr;  Speed upstream = (u-v) = 6 km/hr Let x be the length of the river x/10 + x/6 = 40/60; x = 2.5 kms 2.  A man takes 3 hours 15 minutes to row a boat 13 kms downstream of a river and 1 hours 30 minutes to cover a distance of 4.5 kms upstream.
