Let the speeds of boats ‘A’ and ‘B’ in still water be 8x km/hr and 9x km/hr Therefore, speed of the current = 0.25 × 8x = 2x km/hr According to the question, 8x + 2x = 700/10 Or, 10x = 70 Or, x = 7 Therefore, upstream speed of boat ‘B’ = 9x – 2x = 7x = 49 km/hr Downstream speed of boat ‘B’ = 9x + 2x = 11x = 77 km/hr Required time taken = (147/49) + (770/77) = 3 + 10 = 13 hours
A boat covers 36 km downstream in 2 hours, and it takes 3 hours to cover the same distance upstream. What is the speed of the current?
A boat covers 45 km downstream in 2 h and the same distance upstream in 10 h. Find the speed (in km/h) of the boat in still water.
