A boat travels 72 km downstream in 8 hours and 84 km upstream in 12 hours. Find the speed of the boat in still water and the speed of the water current ?

Downstream speed = 72km/8hrs  = 9 kmph
upstream speed = 84km/12hrs = 7 kmph
speed of boat = avg of downstream and upstream speeds
speed of boat = (9+7)/2kmph = 8 kmph.
current speed = half of the difference of downstream and upstream speeds
currend speed = (9-7)/2kmph = 1 kmph
