Answer:
Speed of boat in still water is 6km/h
Speed of current is 4km/h
Step-by-step explanation:
We know speed = distance / time
Let the speed of boat in still water be x
Let the speed of current be y
Hence the speed of boat, down stream =
Distance downstream = 20km
Time taken = 2 hours
We have
......(1)
Speed of boat upstream =
Distance upstream = 4
Time taken = 2
We have
...(2)
Adding (1) & (2)
Substituting in (1) we get
