Question

if the speed of boat is 8 kmph and that of the stream is 6 kmph then the downstream speed in kmph is
​

Answer 1

Given:

Total speed of boat 8 kmph and the speed of stream is 6 kmph.

To find:

The downstream speed of the boat in kmph.

Solution:

The downstream speed of the boat means the boat is flowing with the flow of water.

Downstream speed = Total speed of boat + Speed of the stream$= 8\;{\rm{kmph + 6 kmph}}$

$= {\rm{14 kmph}}$

So, the downstream speed of the boat is ${\rm{14 kmph}}$.
