Find the average speed of Aman in :
Aman walks at a speed such that he can cover a distance of in . If he walks a distance of to reach a point A and returns back at a speed such that it takes him more than it did to reach A.

What is the speed of the current in ?
Anudip can usually row a boat downstream in less than it takes him to travel the same distance upstream. He doubles up his usual rowing rate such that it takes him one hour less to travel the same distance downstream than to travel upstream.
