Question
A boat racer can row 45/2km/h in still water. If the speed of river is 12.5 km/h, it takes him 40 minutes to row to a place and back, how far off is the place (consider up to two decimals)?
Solution
Speed of boat in still water =B=45/2 =22.5km/h Speed of river (Stream)=S =12.5km/h Speed of boat in upstream =22.5-12.5=10km/h Speed of boat in Downstream=22.5+12.5=35km/h Let the distance =D ATQ-
