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: $$\text{Speed in still water} = \frac{u + v}{2} = \frac{6 + 10}{2} = 8\text{ km/h}$$
