Answer:
the opposing force must be 4 km/hr
Step-by-step explanation:
As when it will cut through the rowing speed of 8 km/hr it will equate it to 4 km/hr and that's exactly the half of his speed in still water

Let rate of the stream =x km /h
upstream speed of boat=(8-×) km/hr
downstream speed of boat=(8+×) km/hr
let distance =D km
Time taken upstream =D/(8-×)
Time taken downstream =D/(8+×)
D/(8-×)=2D/(8+×)
(8+×)=2(8-×)
(8+×)=16-2x
x+2x=16-8
3x=8
x=2.67km/hr
