Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Any one pair of A and B, B and C or C and A is sufficient

Explanation:

Let distance between A & B = d km
Let speed in still water = x kmph
Let speed of current = y kmph

from the given data,
d/x = 2

From A) we get d
From B) we get d/x+y
From C) we get y

 

So, Any one pair of A and B, B and C or C and A is sufficient to give the answer i.e, the speed of upstream.
