Let the speed of upstream be x km/hr Speed of downstream = y km/hr 32/x + 40/y =8 ………….(i) 40/x + 32/y = 8.5…………………….(ii) Adding (i) and (ii), we get 72 (1/x + 1/y) = 33/2 …………..(iii) Subtract (i) from (ii), we get 8 (1/x - 1/y) =0.5 …………..(iv) Adding (iii) and (iv), we get 2/x = 33/144 + 1/16 2/x = 42/144 x = 48/7 km/hr Now, 7/48 - 1/y = 1/16 y= 12 km/hr Now, rate of current = 1/2 (12 - 48/7) = 18/7 km/hr
The speed ratio of a stream to the upstream speed of a boat is 1:9. A boat takes 2 hours and 30 minutes to travel 82.5 km downstream. Determine the time...
A man can row at 4 kmph in still water. If the velocity of current is 2 kmph and it takes him 8 hour to row to a place and come back, how far is the place?
A boat's speed in calm water exceeds the speed of the current by 12 km/hr. Given that the current's speed is 1.25x km/hr and the boat takes 5 hours to t...
The time taken by a boat to cover 72 km downstream is 3 hours less than the boat to cover a certain distance in upstream. The dow...
Sita can row 8 km/hr in still water. If it takes her three times as long to row up a river as it does to row down the same distance, find the speed of t...
The speed of a boat in still water is 6 km/hr more than that of the current. The time taken by the boat to cover 875 km downstream is 17.5 hours. Find t...
A boat takes half the time to move a certain distance downstream than upstream. the ratio of the boat's speed in still water and that of the current is.
A boat covers 132 km downstream in 3 hours and 96 km upstream in 4 hours. The boat takes 8 hours to travel 'D' km upst...
A boat can travel 28 km downstream in 30 min. The ratio of the speed of the boat in still water to the speed of the stream is 5: 3. How much time will t...
Speed of a boat in still water to speed of boat in upstream is 12: 11. If the boat can travel 260 km in downstream in 4 hours, then find the time taken ...
