Question
A boat covers a certain distance against the stream in 9 hours 36 min and it covers the same distance along the stream in 6 hours. What is the ratio of the speed of the boat in still water to that of the stream?
B-S=10 … (1) B+S=16 … (2) B=13, S=3 Now ratio of boat speed and stream speed = 13:3More Boats and streams Questions
