let speed of boat in still watet be x
time taken going down stream =6 hr
distance = 6(x+2)
speed of stream=2 km/hr
time taken if speed is x-2 is 7 hr
distance= 7 (x-2)
ATQ
7x-14=6x+12
x=12+14
x=26km/hr
time taken going down stream =6 hr
distance = 6(x+2)
speed of stream=2 km/hr
time taken if speed is x-2 is 7 hr
distance= 7 (x-2)
ATQ
7x-14=6x+12
x=12+14
x=26km/hr
