★ Given,
● Velocity of boat in still water = 8km/hr
● Velocity of boat w.r.t river =8km/hr =V1
● Velocity of river w.r.t. ground = V2 = 4km/hr
Time taken by boat to go 1 km upstream is 1 hr and 1 km downstream is 1 hr
Now,
Velocity in upstream direction = (8-4)=4kmph
velocity in downstream direction =(8+4)=12kmph
To travrl 8km upstream time taken = 8/4 =2hr
To travel 8km downstream time taken = 8/12 = 2/3hr = 2/3*60= 40min
→ Tota time taken = 2hr 40 min
happy to help !!
