Answer: a=8 and b=1
Step-by-step explanation:
If x represents the paddling speed, and y represents the speed of the current.
Then Relative speed in upstream =x-y
Relative time in downstream=x-y
When she paddles upstream then distance covered by her=
⇒8=(x-y)2 or 2(x-y)=8
Thus we get, a=1
When she paddles downstream then distance covered by her=
⇒8=(x+y)1 or 1(x+y)=8
Thus we get b=1
