Question
A boat can travel 200 km downstream in 8 hours and 48 km upstream in 12 hours. Find the speed of the current.
On solving equations (1) and (2), we add them to get: 2x=29⇒x=14.5 km/hr Then substituting back to find 'y': 25−14.5=y=10.5 km/hr Speed of the current = 10.5 km/hrMore Boats and streams Questions
