Question

A motorboat covers a distance of 16km upstream and 24km downstream 5
in 6 hours. In the same time it covers a distance of 12 km upstream and
36km downstream. Find the speed of the boat in still water and that of the
stream.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

A boat goes 16 km upstream and 24 km down stream in 6 hours

Time taken to go 16 km upstream = 6 hours

+ Time taken to go 24 km down stream

we know that

speed = distance/time

time =distance / speed

distance of 16 km/ speed upstream+ distance of 24 km / speed down stream =6

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