A boat takes 3 hours to travel 30km downstream and takes 5 hours to return to the same spot upstream. Find the speed of the boat in still water. (km / hr) (1) 10km / hr (2) 8km / hr (3) 6km / hr (4) 5km / hr |

Answer» (2) 8km / hr Suppose speed of boat = x km / hr Speed of stream = y km / hr ∴ (x + y)3 = 30 ⇒ x + y = 10 (x + y)5 = 30 ⇒ x + y = 6 On Adding ⇒ 2x = 16 x = 8 Speed of boat = 8km / hr |
