Detailed Solution

In the frame of river, the float remains stationary. The speed of swimmer with respect to river is vrel.
Thus, the time taken by swimmer to return the float position is t0=2+2=4h
In this time, the float moves 15 km in the frame of ground.
 The river flow velocity = velocity of float in the frame of ground =154=3.75kmh1
