Question

a Boat goes 30 km upstream and 44 downstream in 10 hours in 13 hours it can go 40 km upstream and 55 km downstream determine the speed of the stream and that of the boat in still water​

Answer 2

Answer:

Speed of stream = 3 km / hr.

Speed of boat in still water = 8 km / hr.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the speed of the boat in still water be a km / hr and stream be b km / hr

For upstream = a - b

For downstream = a + b

We know :

Speed = Distance / Time

Case 1 .

10 = 30 / a - b + 44 / a + b

Let 1 / a - b = x and 1 / a + b = y

30 x + 44 y = 10 ... ( i )

Case 2 .

13 = 40 / a - b + 55 / a + b

40 x + 55 y = 13 ... ( i )

Multiply by 4 in ( i ) and by 3 in ( ii )

120 x + 176 y = 40

120 x = 40 - 176 y ... ( iii )

120 x + 165 y = 39

120 = 39 - 165 y ... ( iv )

From ( iii )  and  ( iv )

40 - 176 y = 39 - 165 y

11 y = 1

y = 1 / 11

120 x = 40 - 176 y

120 x = 40 - 176 / 11

x = 1 / 5

Now :

1 / a - b = 1 / 5

a - b = 5

a = 5 + b ... ( v )

1 / a + b = 1 / 11

a + b = 11

a = 11 - b ... ( vi )  

From ( v  ) and ( vi )

11 - b = 5  + b

2 b = 6

b = 3

a = 5 + b

a = 5 + 3

a = 8

Hence we get answer.
