Question
The speed of a boat in still water is twice the speed of
the current. The difference between downstream and upstream speeds is 16 km/h. If the boat spends 10 hours to travel the same distance 'q' km each way, find 'q'.Solution
ATQ, Let the speed of the stream = t km/h Speed of the boat in still water = 2t km/h Upstream speed of the boat = 2t – t = t km/h Downstream speed of the boat = 2t + t = 3t km/h Difference in Speed: - 3t - t = 2t = 16 km/h, so, t = 8 km/h Calculate the time for each distance 'q':
