Answer:
In this question, we are given the speed of water and the speed in which the steamer covers the distance between two towns. We have been asked to find out the distance between two towns. Assume the speed of the boat and use it, find out the speed in downstream and upstream. Now using the formula of speed, distance and time, put in all the values that you have. This will give you two equations. Equate them and then you will get the speed of the boat. Put it in one of the equations and it will give you distance.
