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

A train X departs from station A at 11.00 a.m. for station B, which is 180 km away.Another train Y departs from station B at 11.00 a.m. for station A. Train  X travels at an average speed of 70 kms/hr and does not stop anywhere until it arrives at station B.Train Y travels at an average speed of 50 kms/hr, but has to stop for 15 minutes at station C, which is 60 kms away from station B enroute to station A. Ignoring the lengths of the trains, what is the distance, to the nearest km, from station A to the point where the trains cross each other?
