Question
A boat can travel 8 km more in downstream than that in
upstream, in 8 hours while the difference between the time taken by the same boat to travel 200 km and 126 km, in still water, is 4 hours. Find the approximate time taken by the boat to travel 267 km in downstream and 173 km in upstream.Solution
Stream speed y=0.5 km/h (from distance difference in 8 hours) So: Downstream speed = 18.5+0.5=19 km/h Upstream speed = 18.5−0.5=18 km/h Now calculate time: 
Total time = 14.05 + 9.61 = 23.7 hours or 24 hours (approx)
- The boat's downstream and upstream speeds are 24 km/hr and 16 km/hr respectively. If the time taken to cover a distance of (x + y) km upstream with stream ...
A boat takes 20 hours to go 200 km upstream. If the boat doubles its speed, it can cover 200 km downstream in 4 hours. Find the speed of the stream.
The ratio of the speed of boat in upstream to speed of boat in downstream is 7:9. If the boat can cover a total of 70 km upstream and 90 km downstream i...
