Step-by-Step AI Explanation
Verified Method
Let the speed upstream be $u$ km/h and the speed downstream be $v$ km/h.
From the given problem:
$$\frac{12}{u} + \frac{20}{v} = 4$$
$$\frac{18}{u} + \frac{10}{v} = 4$$
Multiply the second equation by 2:
$$\frac{36}{u} + \frac{20}{v} = 8$$
Subtract the first equation from this result:
$$\left(\frac{36}{u} - \frac{12}{u}\right) = 8 - 4 \implies \frac{24}{u} = 4 \implies u = 6\text{ km/h}$$
Now, substitute $u = 6$ into the first equation:
$$\frac{12}{6} + \frac{20}{v} = 4 \implies 2 + \frac{20}{v} = 4 \implies \frac{20}{v} = 2 \implies v = 10\text{ km/h}$$
The speed of the man in still water is:
$$\text{Speed in still water} = \frac{u + v}{2} = \frac{6 + 10}{2} = 8\text{ km/h}$$
