Answer:
Let, speed of Ritu in still water be x km/hr and speed of current be y km/hr
Then,
speed downstream =(x+y) km/hr
speed upstream =(x−y) km/hr
We know, Time = Distance/ Speed
Then,
20/(x+y) = 2
and 4/(x-y) = 2
⇒x+y=10 ...(1)
and x−y=2 ...(2)
Adding both we get,
2x = 12
⇒x = 6
Thus using (1), we get
y= 10−6 = 4
Hence the speed of Ritu in still water is 6 km/hr and the speed of the current is 4 km/hr
