Answer Posted / abhilasha
Cap fell here
A-------------->B----------------->C Upstream-------->
1mile
-----5 min--------
A<-----<<-------B<--------<<------C <<------Downstream
---------------5 min---------------
cap reached
here
From B to A total time taken by cap to reach at A =5+5
=10 min (B-->C--C-->B-->A)
Total distance covered by capto reach frm B to A =1 mile (with speed of river)
so speed of river =1 mile/ 10 min
= 1/(10/60)hr
=6 mile/hr Ans
