Question
Ratio of speed of boat in downstream and speed of stream
is 7:4, if speed of current is 8 km/hr, then find distance travelled (in km) upstream in 7 hours.Solution
Let speed of downstream and speed of stream be 7x and 4x respectively. Speed of current => 4x = 8 => x = 2 km/hr Downstream speed = 7 × 2 = 14 km/h Speed of boat = 14 - 2 = 12 km/hr Upstream speed = 12 - 2 = 10 km/h Distance travelled upstream in 7 hr = 10 × 7 = 70 km
The speed of current is 10 km/hr. If the speed of the boat in still water had been 8 km/hr more than the original speed, then it would take 7 hours to c...

A boat running downstream covers a distance of 50 km in 2(1/2) hrs and the same distance upstream in 10 hrs. What is the speed of the boat in still water?
A boat covers a distance of 57 km upstream in 9.5 hours. If the boat's speed in still water had been doubled, it would have taken only 2 hours to cover...
