A boat goes 24 km downstream in 10 hours, it takes 2 hours more to cover the same distance against the stream. What is the speed of the boat in still water?
Answer: D
Speed downstream = 24/10 km/hr = 2.4 km/hr
Speed upstream = 24/12 km/hr = 2 km/hr
Speed of the boat in still water = ½ (2.4 +2)km/hr = 2.2 km/hr
