A man can row a boat with a speed of 6\(\frac{3}{5}\) km. in still water. He finds out that he takes twice of the time in going against the stream than going with the stream. Accordingly, what is the speed of stream? |
2\(\frac{1}{2}\) 3\(\frac{1}{2}\) 5\(\frac{1}{5}\) 2\(\frac{1}{5}\) |
2\(\frac{1}{5}\) |
∴ If distance is same then, ratio of speed = \(\frac{1}{ratio of time}\) ATQ, Downstream (D.S) : Upstream (U.S) Time → 1 : 2 Speed → 2 : 1
Boat Speed : Stream Speed \(\frac{D.S + U.S}{2}\) : \(\frac{D.S - U.S}{2}\) \(\frac{2 + 1}{2}\) : \(\frac{2 - 1}{2}\) 3 : 1 x\(\frac{11}{5}\) ↓ ↓ x\(\frac{11}{5}\) (given) \(\frac{33}{5}\) km/hr 2\(\frac{1}{5}\) |
