    Explanation:

    Let the speed of the stream be x km/hr. Then,

    Speed downstream = (15 + x) km/hr,

    Speed upstream = (15 - x) km/hr.

    30 + 30 = 4 1
    (15 + x) (15 - x) 2
    900 = 9
    225 - x2 2

     9x2 = 225

     x2 = 25

     x = 5 km/hr.

    Hence, option 2 is the correct answer.
