Let the speed of boat rowed by man by x.
A man can row 10.2 km downstream in 18 minutes i.e speed (x+3.5)
= (10.2 x 60)/18
Hence, speed of boat = 30.5 km/hr
Now, relative speed of boat going downwards = 30.5-3.5 = 27km/hr
Now, number of hours required to row upwards = 121.5/27 = 4.5 hours
i hope it will help you
