Question
The speed of a boat while
traveling upstream is 6 km/hr. If the boat takes a total of 56 hours to travel 264 km downstream and the same distance upstream, what is the speed of the boat in still water?Solution
ATQ,
Let the speed of the boat in still water be ‘b’ km/hr Therefore, speed of current = (b – 6) km/hr According to the question, {264/(2b – 6)} + 264/6 = 56 Or, 2b – 6 = 264/12 Or, b = 14
