Question
A boat covers a distance of 96 km downstream in 4 hours and returns upstream in 6 hours. Find the speed of the stream.
Solution
Downstream speed = 96 / 4 = 24 km/h Upstream speed = 96 / 6 = 16 km/h Speed of stream = (Downstream speed - Upstream speed) / 2 Speed of stream = (24 - 16) / 2 = 8 / 2 = 4 km/h Correct Option: d) 4 km/h
