Practicing Success
Find the time taken by a boat to travel 80 km with the current, if the speed of the boat in still water is 14 km/h and the speed of the current is 6 km/h ? |
6 h 4.5 h 5 h 4 h |
4 h |
We know that, downstream = Speed of boat + Speed of stream Given, Speed of a boat in still water = 14 km/h Distance covered = 80 km Speed of the current = 6 km/h Downstream speed = 14 + 6 = 20 km/h Let the time taken be = t \(\frac{80}{20}\)= t = t = 4 hours |
