      Solution

      Let the speed of the boat in still water be 'x' km/hr and the speed of the current be 'y' km/hr. According to the question, On solving equations (1) and (2), we add them to get: 2x=29β‡’x=14.5 km/hr Then substituting back to find 'y':Β  25βˆ’14.5=y=10.5 km/hr Speed of the current = 10.5 km/hr
