Question
A boat can cover 150 km in downstream in 15 hours and
130 km in upstream in 13 hours. Find the distance travelled by the boat in still water in 5 hours.Solution
Downstream speed of the boat = 150/15 = 10 km/hr Upstream speed of the boat = 130/13 = 13 km/hr Speed of boat in still water = (10 + 10)/2 = 10 km/hr Distance travelled by the boat in still water in 5 hours = 10 × 5 = 50 km
