Last Answer : Answer- B Basic Formula: If the speed downloadstream is a km/ hr and the speed upstream is b km/ hr then Speed in still water is = ½ (a+b) km / hr [memory tool last 2 L cross and make +] Explanation: Given ... still water = ½ (a+b) kmph = ½ (6+2) = 8/2 = 4kmph speed in still water = 4kmph
Description : A motor boat whose speed is 18 km/h in still water takes 1 hour more to go 24 km upstream than to return downstream to the same spot. Find the speed of the stream. -Maths 10th
Last Answer : The given speed of the motor boat in the still water is equal to 18 km/ hr. The given distance travelled by motor boat is equal to 24 km. The time taken to travel 24 km downstream by motor boat = 1 hour. x=122=6 km/ hr.
Description : A boat travels 20 kms upstream in 6 hours and 18 kms downstream in 4 hours. Find the speed of the boat in still water and the speed of the water current? (a) 1/2 kmph (b) 7/12 kmph (c) 5 kmph (d) none of these
Last Answer : (b) 7/12 kmph
