Speed of boat in downstream is 08 km/hr and in upstream is 06 km/hr. Find the speed of water:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
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
