Douglas rows a boat upstream (against the flow of the river) for 45 minutes. He turns around and rows downstream (with the flow of the river) to his starting pointing, taking only 30 minutes to return. Douglas' speed upstream is 3 kilometres per hour less than his speed downstream. What is his speed when rowing the boat upstream? Oa. S km/hr Ob 9 km/hr Oc 6 km/hr Od. 7 km/hr Oe 8 km/hr
