A boat covers 100m downstream and 25m upstream in 19 seconds, also it covers 25m downstream and 10m upstream in 5 seconds. Then the speed of the stream is equal to:
Answers
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Speed of the boat when it travels upstream =7−3=4m/sec
Speed of the boat when it travels downstream =7+3=10m/sec
Now,
As soon as the float falls, it will travel downstream at the speed of 3m/sec
And in the meantime, the boat has also traveled upstream a distance of 4.2 km
So,
Time spend on traveling upstream by boat =
4
4200
=1050sec
In the meantime, the float would had traveled downstream by =1050×3 = 3150 m
Hence, the total distance between the float and the boat will be =3150 + 4200 = 7350 m
Now, the relative speed between a boat and the float =10-3=4 m/sec
Hence time taken = 7350/4=1837.5 sec
Hence, total time spent = 1837.5+1050=2887.5 sec
This is 2887.5 /60= 48.125 mins
Hence the float and the boat will meet in 48.125mins
