4 hours

5 hours

3 hours

2 hours

Explanation:

Explanation:
Given:
Speed in still water, ½ (a+b) = 10 km/hr
a+b = 20 km/hr…………….(1)
speed of the stream, ½ (a-b) = 6km/hr
a-b = 12 km/hr …………….(2)
(1)+(2 ) we get 2a = 32
a = 16 km/hr
speed downstream =distance traveled / time taken
time taken = 80/16 = 5 hours
