Question 82

A boat’s speed with the current is 15 kmph and the boat’s speed against the current is 5 kmph. What is the speed of the current?

Solution

With the current => downstream
Against the current => upstream
Let the speed of the boat be ‘s’ and the speed of the river be ‘r’.
So, s - r = 5 and s + r = 15
=>2s = 20 => s = 10 and r = 5 kmph
Speed of the current = 5 kmph
