Answer:
average speed formula,
= 2 X v1 X v2 / v1 + v2
v1 = 6.5 + 1.5,
= 8
v2 = 6.5 - 1.5,
= 4
average speed = 2 X 8 X 4 / 8 + 4
= 16/3
= 5.333

Answer:
The speed of the boat in still water = 6.5 km/hr
the speed of the stream = 1.5 km/hr
1st the man rows the boat downstream.
In downstream we know that total speed of the boat = speed of boat in still water + speed of the stream.
so the total speed of the boat in downstream=6.5 km/hr + 1.5 km/hr =8 km/hr
Let us consider as the distance covered by the boat in downstream = x km
time taken for cover the distance = x/8 hr
But when he comes back it will upstream for him.
similarly in upstream, we know that,
the total speed of the boat = speed of the boat - speed of the stream.
so the total speed of the boat in upstream=6.5 km/hr - 1.5 km/hr=5 km/hr
When he comes back he has to cover that x km.
so the time taken to came back = x/5 hr.
Av. speed = total distance covered / total time taken
= (x+x) / {(x/8) + (x/5)} km/hr
= (2x) / (13x/40) km/hr
= (2x * 40) / (13x) km/hr
= 6(1/40) km/hr (Ans.)
Hope it helps you.
