Question

The speed of boat is 5km/h in will water it crosses a river if width 1km along the shortest possible path in 15min . Find velocity

Answer 1

this is your answer mate

Answer 2

Answer:

The velocity of river stream is 3 km/hr.

Explanation:

The speed of the boat along the shortest possible path

$AB = \frac{1}{\frac{15}{16} } = 4 km/hr$

Now, The velocity of river water

$V = \sqrt{5^{2}-4^{2} } = \sqrt{25-16} = \sqrt{9} = 3 km/hr$
