Question

the speed of boat in still water is 15km/h it can go 30km downstream and return back to its original point in 4hr30min find the speed of the stream

Answer 1

Let speed of stream = x km/h

∴ Downstream speed = (15+x) km/h

∴ Upstream speed = (15-x) km/h

∴ 30/(15+x) + 30/(15-x) = 4 1/2

→ 900/225-x² = 9/2

→ 9x² = 225

→ x² = 25

→ x = 5

∴ Speed of stream = 5 km/h
