Question
If the speed of stream is 3 km/h, a boat takes 9 hours
to travel 112 km downstream and 110 km upstream. What is the speed (in km/h) of the boat in still water?Solution
Given: Stream speed = 3 km/h Downstream: 112 km Upstream: 110 km Total time = 9 hours Let boat speed in still water = x km/h Downstream speed = x + 3 Upstream speed = x − 3 Time = Distance / Speed Multiply both sides by (x + 3)(x − 3):
Solve using quadratic formula:
If p = 24 - q - r and pq + r(q + p) = 132, then find the value of (p² + q² + r²).
