Answer:
Let the speed of the current be x km/hr.
Pratik goes 36 km downstream.
∴ Distance covered by the Pratik in Downstream=36 km.
Speed of the Pratik in downstream =(12+x) km/hr.
∴ Time taken = (12+x)36
Now, He also returned to the same spot.
∴ Distance covered in upstream =36 km.
Speed of the Pratik in upstream =(12−x) km/hr.
∴ Time taken = (12−x)36
Now, Time taken in upstream + Time taken in downstream =8 hrs.
∴ (12−x)36 + (12+x)36 =8
⇒36(12+x)+36(12−x)=8(12+x)(12−x)
⇒36(12+x+12−x)=8(144−12x+12x−x 2)
⇒36×24=8(144−x 2 )
⇒36×3=144−x 2∴x 2
=144−108∴x= 36
⇒x=+6 or −6
−6 cannot be possible.
∴ Speed of the current is 6 km/hr.
