If a boat is rowed downstream for 50 km in 5 hours and upstream for 24 km in 6 hours, what is the speed of the boat and the river?
Answer: A
If x: speed of boats man in still water
y: speed of the river
Downstream speed (Ds) = x + y
Upstream speed (Us) = x - y
x = (Ds + Us) / 2
y = (Ds - Us) / 2
In the above problem Ds = 10 ; Us = 4
x = (10 + 4) / 2 = 14/2 = 7 km/hr
y = (10 - 4)/2 = 6/2 = 3 km/hr
