The current of a stream runs at the rate of 4 kmph. A boat goes 6 km and back to the starting point in 2 hours, then find the speed of the boat in still water?

  • A.10 kmph
  • B.21 kmph
  • C.8 kmph
  • D.12 kmph

Answer: C

S = 4

M = x

DS = x + 4

US = x - 4

6/(x + 4) + 6/(x - 4) = 2

 

x = 8
