Explanation

Wait, question has error: "swim 3 km/hr in still water" but says "velocity of stream is 2 km/hr". This is contradictory - it says swim speed is 3 km/hr, then says still water speed is 2 km/hr. Assuming swim speed = 3 km/hr (from first statement) and stream = 2 km/hr. Upstream speed = 3 - 2 = 1 km/hr, Downstream = 3 + 2 = 5 km/hr. Time = 10/1 + 10/5 = 10 + 2 = 12 hours.
