Answer:
let speed of boat in still water =xkm/hr
let speed of stream=ykm/he
speed of downstream=x+y km/hr
speed of upstream=x-y km/hr
16/x-y + 24/x+y=6 eq. 1
12/x-y +36/x+y= 6. eq.2
let x-y= a
x+y = b
from eq. 1 16a+24b=6
12a+36b= 6
you can solve these equations by any method you get values of a and b then put the values you get x and y
