Question

The speed of the boat in still water is 15 km/hr.It can go 45 km upstream and return downstream to original point in 6 hours and 45 minutes.Find tge speed of the stream​

Answer 1

Answer:

Speed of stream = 15 km/hr. Hence upstream speed = 60 – 15 = 45 km/hr. So time taken to cover 20 km = 20/45*60 = 26.67min.

Answer 2

Answer:

ANSWER

Given :

Speed of boat in still water =15 km/hr

Let x be speed of the stream in km/hr

Speed of the boat upstream =15−x

Speed of the boat down stream =15+x

Time taken for upstream T

=

15−x

=25

⇒x=5 ....(∵x is +ve)

⇒x=5 km/hr

Speed of the stream =5 km/hr.
