A boat can row upstream at 12 km/h and downstream at 20 km/h. Find the speed of boat in still water and the speed of the stream. |
32 km/h, 8 km/h 14 km/h, 4 km/h 10 km/h, 6 km/h 16 km/h, 4 km/h |
16 km/h, 4 km/h |
The correct answer is Option (4) → 16 km/h, 4 km/h $\text{Upstream speed} = u - v = 12$ $\text{Downstream speed} = u + v = 20$ $u = \frac{12 + 20}{2} = 16$ $v = \frac{20 - 12}{2} = 4$ Speed of boat in still water is $16$ km/h and speed of stream is $4$ km/h. |
