A boat has to increase the speed with which it can row in still water by 50% during upstream journey, so that the effective speed is same both during upstream and downstream journeys in a river. But instead if it drives at original speed (in still water) during both journeys, it takes 16 hours to complete 300 km upstream and 300 km downstream. What is the speed of the stream? (in km/hr)
