Practicing for a competition, a swimmer saw that he could swim 20 km downstream in just 1 hr while it took 2 hrs to swim upstream. Find the speed of the river and that of the swimmer respectively.

Man's/Boat's Speed = X
Stream/Current/River Speed = Y

∴ Downstream speed = X + Y
Upstream speed = X - Y

Downstream Speed = Distance covered/Time taken
= 20/1
= 20 km/hr
Upstream Speed = 20/2 = 10 km/hr

X + Y = 20 km/hr
and, X - Y = 10 km/hr

Adding them we get,
X + Y + X - Y = 30 km/hr
∴ X=15 km/hr = Speed of swimmer in still water

∴ Y = 20 - 15 = 5 km/hr = Speed of river.
