Question 104

A boatman rows 1 km in 5 minutes, along the stream and 6 km in I hour against the stream. The speed of the stream is

Solution

let's say velocity of stream is $$v_{s}$$ and velocity of boat is$$v_{b}$$
so along the stream $$v_{s}$$ + $$v_{b}$$ = $$\frac{1 km.}{\frac{5}{60} hr}$$

and opposite to river $$v_{s}$$ - $$v_{b}$$ = $$\frac{6 km.}{ 1 hr}$$

soving above eq. we get $$v_{s}$$ = 3kmph
