Erosion Rate Vs. Uplift Rate?

If two plates are moving together at a rate of 2cm per year. In the middle of these two plates is a Mountain Range the main source of erosion is a stream that has a discharge 4 cubic meters per second of water. About 5% of that what is sediment eroded off the mountain. Can the rate of uplift keep up with the rate of erosion??
