SOLUTION :-
Let the speed of the boat in still water be x.
Given that,
Speed of the stream = 3 km/h
Downstream :-
Speed downstream = ( x + 3 ) km/h
Time taken = 5 h
Distance between 2 ports = 5 ( x + 3 ) km
Upstream :-
Speed upstream = ( x - 3 ) km/h
Time taken = 8 h
Distance between 2 ports = 8 ( x - 3 ) km
According to the question,
Speed of the boat in still water = 13 km/h
