Question
The ratio of the speed of a boat in still water to its speed in downstream is 6:8. If the difference between the time taken by the boat to travel 288 km each in upstream and in downstream is 3 hours, then find the speed of the boat in still water.
Hence, speed of boat in still water is 6y = 12×6 = 72More Boats and streams Questions
