If a boat rows 40 km/hr upstream and 60 km/hr downstream, then the speed of the boat in still water and the speed of stream respectively will be: |
50 km/hr and 10 km/hr 40 km/hr and 5 km/hr 48 km/hr and 2 km/hr 10 km/hr and 50 km/hr |
50 km/hr and 10 km/hr |
The correct answer is Option (1) → 50 km/hr and 10 km/hr $u - v = 40,\;\; u + v = 60$ $u = \frac{40 + 60}{2} = 50$ $v = \frac{60 - 40}{2} = 10$ The speeds are $50$ km/hr and $10$ km/hr respectively. |
