A boat travels upstream at the speed of 20 km/h and downstream at the speed of 30 km/h. What is the speed of the boat in still water? |
26 km/h 24 km/h 25 km/h 22.50 km/h |
25 km/h |
Let speed of boat = B km/h & Speed of Stream = S km/h Speed of Downstream = ( B + S ) km/h Speed of Upstream = ( B - S ) km/h According to question , B + S = 30 km/h -------(1) B - S = 20 km/h --------(2) Adding equation 1 & 2 2B = 50 km/h B = 25 km/h So , Speed of Boat = 25 km/h |
