- The speed of the man in still water is the average of his downstream and upstream speeds.

- Downstream speed = 15 km/h, upstream speed = 11 km/h.

- Speed in still water = (15 + 11) / 2 = 13 km/h.

- The speed of the current is the difference between the downstream speed and the speed in still water.

- Speed of the current = 15 - 13 = 2 km/h.

- Option 1 suggests the speed in still water is 13 km/h and the speed of the current is 5 km/h, which is incorrect.

- Option 2 suggests a still water speed of 11 km/h and a current speed of 4 km/h, which doesn't match our findings.

- Option 3 suggests a speed in still water of 13 km/h and a current speed of 2 km/h, which is correct.

- Option 4 suggests that the speed in still water is 13 km/h and current speed is 6 km/h, which is incorrect.
