Question

A boat goes 16 km upstream and 24 km downstream in 6 hrs. Also it covers 12 km upstream and 36 km downstream in the same time. Find the speed of the boat upstream and downstream. Pls with steps!!!

Answer 1

Answer:

4km/h,12km/h respectively

Step-by-step explanation:

Let speed of the boat be x

Speed of river be y

Then,

For upstream x-y

For downstream x+y

Given,

24/x+y + 16/x-y=6 - - - - - 1

Also,

36/x+y + 12/x-y=6 - - - - - 2

By solving 1 and 2 we get

x+y=12

x-y=4

Hope it helps

Have a great day
