Question
In still water, a boat travels 63 km in 3 hours. If the
speed of the stream is 6 km/h, then what is the percentage increase of downstream speed compared to upstream speed?Solution
ATQ,
Speed of the boat in still water = 63 ÷ 3 = 21 km/h
Downstream speed = 21 + 6 = 27 km/h
Upstream speed = 21 - 6 = 15 km/h
Required percentage = {(27 - 15)/15} × 100 = (12/15) × 100 = 80%
