Question

The downstream speed of a boat is 48 km/hr, while its upstream speed is 32 km/hr. The boat takes 10 hours to travel a distance of (p + 40) km downstream and (q + 60) km upstream. Additionally, it takes 13 hours to travel (p + 56) km upstream and (q + 140) km downstream. Determine the value of (p +
q).

Q: Answer-The downstream speed of a boat is 48 km/hr, while its upstream speed is 32 km/hr. The boat takes 10...
