A man can row downstream at a speed of 15 km/h and upstream at 11 km/h. Find his speed in still water and the speed of the current, respectively. [Give both your answers in km/h] |
13 ; 5 11 ; 4 13 ; 2 13 ; 6 |
13 ; 2 |
We know that, Upstream Speed = Speed of Boat – Speed of current Downstream Speed = Speed of Boat + Speed of current Given, Downstream = 15 km/h Upstream = 11 km/h Upstream = Speed of the man - Speed of the stream = 11 Downstream = Speed of the man + Speed of the stream = 15 So, 2 × Speed of the man = 26 = Speed of the man = 13 So, speed of stream = 2 Answer = 13, 2 |
