A 0.8 mph
B 1.6 mph
C 2.4 mph
D 3.2 mph

Correct Answer: 1.6 mph

Let towards upstream he swims at v1 mph and towards downstream he swims at v2 mph . '. v1 = 1 and v2 = 4 Now, his average speed = 21v1 + 1v2 = 211 + 14 = 21 + 14 = 254 = 254 = 2 × 43 = 85 = 1.6 mph[Rule of harmonic mean ]Total 5 mph swims 8 mitres  58 1.6 mph 53030 ×
