Question

Q.53. A boat started its journey downstream at 8:00 AM. It reached a point at 1:00 PM which is 25 km
away from the starting point, while for covering the same distance upstream it takes 6 hours. What is the
speed of the boat in still water?​

Answer 1

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

speed of the boat = 6 km/hr

Speed downstream = (6+2) = 8 km/hr

Speed upstream = (6-2) = 4 km/hr

Distance travelled downstream = Distance travelled upstream = 32 km

Total time taken

= Time taken downstream + Time taken upstream
