Question

A man can row 8km/h in still water and he finds that it takes him twice as long to row up as to row down the stream. What is the rate of the stream.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let rate of the stream =x km /h

upstream speed of boat=(8-×) km/hr

downstream speed of boat=(8+×) km/hr

let distance =D km

Time taken upstream =D/(8-×)

Time taken downstream =D/(8+×)

D/(8-×)=2D/(8+×)

(8+×)=2(8-×)

(8+×)=16-2x

x+2x=16-8

3x=8

x=2.67km/hr
