At his usual  rowing rate , Rahul can  travel 12 miles downstream in a certain river in 6 hours less than it take him o travel the same distance upstream. But if he could double his usual rowing rate for his 24 mile round trip , the downstream  12 miles would then take only  one hour less han  he upstream 12 miles. what is he speed of the current in miles  per hour ?

A. 1 1/3
B. 1 2/3
C. 2 1/3
D. 2 2/3

B. 1.5 km/hr
C. 2 km/hr
D. 2.5 km/hr

A. 1 km/hr
B. 1.5 km/hr
C. 1.8 km/hr
D. 3.5 km/hr

A. 2 mph
B. 2.5 mph
C. 3 mph
D. 4 mph
