Question:

Speed of boat in downstream is 08 km/hr and in upstream is 06 km/hr. Find the speed of water:

Options:

01 km/hr

02 km/hr

03 km/hr

04 km/hr

Correct Answer:

01 km/hr

Explanation:

Speed of boat in downstream (D.S) = 08 km/hr

Speed of boat in upstream (U.S) = 06 km/hr

So, Speed of current = \(\frac{D.S\;-\;U.S}{2}\) = \(\frac{08\;-\;06}{2}\) = 1 km/hr
