Question

Q23. A streamer goes downstream from one point to another in 9 hours. it
covers the same distance upstream in 10 hours, if the speed of the stream
we 1 km per hour find the speed of the streamer in still water and the distance
between the ports
pls it urgent​

Answer 2

Let the speed of the steamer in still water is x km/h and distance is d.

Then, speed of steamer downstream (u)= speed of steamer in still water+speed of stream=x+1

Speed of steamer upstream (v)=speed of steamer in still water-speed of stream=x−1

Distance covered by steamer upstream (d)=10(x−1) ......(1)

Distance covered by steamer downstream (d)=9(x+1) ......(2)

From equation (1) and (2),

10(x−1)=9(x+1)

10x−10=9x+9

10x−9x=9+10

x=19 km/h

Substituting this value in equation(1),

Distance(d)=10(19−1)=180km

Hence, the speed of the steamer in still water is 19km/h and the distance between the ports is 180km.
