A rows a boat 100 km in 20 hours downstream and 72 km in upstream in 18 hours. Find the speed of the boat in still water.
  • a)
    6.5 km/h
  • b)
    4.5 km/h
  • c)
    6 km/h
  • d)
    7 km/h
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Sagar Sharma answered  •  yesterday
Understanding the Problem
To find the speed of the boat in still water, we need to consider the speeds downstream and upstream separately.
Step 1: Calculate Downstream and Upstream Speeds
- Downstream Distance: 100 km
- Downstream Time: 20 hours
- Downstream Speed: Speed = Distance/Time = 100 km / 20 hours = 5 km/h
- Upstream
... more 72 km
- Upstream Time: 18 hours
- Upstream Speed: Speed = Distance/Time = 72 km / 18 hours = 4 km/h
Step 2: Define Variables
- Let the speed of the boat in still water be 'b' km/h.
- Let the speed of the current be 'c' km/h.
Step 3: Set Up Equations
- Downstream Speed Equation: b + c = 5 km/h
- Upstream Speed Equation: b - c = 4 km/h
Step 4: Solve the Equations
1. From the first equation: b + c = 5
2. From the second equation: b - c = 4
Now, add both equations:
- (b + c) + (b - c) = 5 + 4
- 2b = 9
- b = 9/2 = 4.5 km/h
Conclusion
The speed of the boat in still water is 4.5 km/h. Thus, the correct answer is option 'B'.
