The speed of man is (swim speed )  =    4 Km/h.

Time taken to cross the river will be : 

                                                                     =\ \frac{Distance}{Speed}

                                                                     =\ \frac{1}{4}\ =\ 15\ min.

Total distance covered due to the flow of the river:-  

                                                                        =\ Speed\ of\ river \times Time\ taken

                                                                         =\ 3\times\frac{1}{4}\ =\ 0.75\ Km
