Example 19: A boat goes 30 kmupstream and 44 km downstream in
10 hours. In 13 hours, it can go
40 km upstream and 55 km
down-stream. Determine the speedof the stream and that of the boat instill water.

Let the speed of boat in still water be xkm/h
and speed of stream be ykm/h
While going upstream
speed=(x-y)km/h
Distance=30km
We have to take t1 as it is difficult to seperate time of downstream and upstream
While going downstream
speed=(x+y)km/h
distance=44km
We have total time so we add t1 and t2 equation
Similarly we do 2nd equation which is In 13 hours, it can go 40 km upstream and 55 km
down-stream
We can use elimination method for solving that equation
Now multiply 4 in 1st and 3 in 2nd as you know about elimination method
Now put orginal value question isn't ended yet
and
Using elimination once again
