Let the distance in one direction = k kms
Speed in still water = 4.5 kmph
Speed of river = 1.5
Hence, speed in upstream = 4.5 - 1.5 = 3 kmph
Speed in downstream = 4.5 + 1.5 = 6 kmph
Time taken by Rajesh to row upwards = k/3 hrs
Time taken by Rajesh to row downwards = k/6 hrs
Now, required Average speed =
Therefore, the average speed of the whole journey = 4kmph.
Speed in downstream = 96/8 = 12 kmph
Speed of current = 4 km/hr
Speed of the boatman in still water = 12 ? 4 = 8 kmph
Speed in upstream = 8 ? 4 = 4 kmph
Time taken to cover 8 km upstream = 8/4 = 2 hours.
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
Let Speed of boat in still water = b
Let Speed of still water = w
Then we know that,
Speed of Upstream = U = boat - water
Speed of Downstream = D = boat + water
Given, U + D = 82
b - w + b + w = 82
2b = 82
=> b = 41 kmph
From the given data,
41 - w = 105/3 = 35
w = 6 kmph
Now,
b + w = 126/t
=> 41 + 6 = 126/t
=> t = 126/47 = 2.68 hrs.
Speed in still water = Average of Speed in Upstream and speed in Downstream
= 1/2 (12 + 6) kmph = 9 kmph.
As the distance travelled is constant, the time taken is inversely proportional to speed.
Let 'u' be the speed of the current and 'v' be the speed of the boat.
Speed of the boat downstream = v + u & upstream = v - u
=> v+u/v-u = 30/20 => v/u = 5 => v = 5u
=> v + u = 6u = 10/20/60 miles/hr
=> 6u = 30 m/h
=> u = 5 m/h
Speed of the boat upstream = 36/9 = 4 kmph
Speed of the boat in downstream = 36/6 = 6 kmph
Speed of stream = 6-4/2 = 1 kmph
Let the speed of the man in still water = p kmph
Speed of the current = s kmph
Now, according to the questions
(p + s) x 10 = (p - s) x 15
2p + 2s = 3p - 3s
=> p : s = 5 : 1
Hence, ratio of his speed to that of current = 5:1.
72 --- 9
? ---- 1
=> Down Stream = 8
45 ---- 9
? ---- 1
=> Up Stream = 5
Speed od current S = ?
S = (8 - 5)/2 = 1.5 kmph.
Given speed of the person = 8 1/2 = 17/2 kmph
Let the speed of the stream = x kmph
speed of upstream = 17/2 - x
speed of downstream = 17/2 + x
But given that,
2(17/2 - x) = 17/2 + x
=> 3x = 17/2
=> x = 2.83 kmph.
Let the speed of boat and stream be x and y kmph respectively.
According to question
d/x+y + d/x-y = 5h 15m or 21/4 hrs ......(i)
and 2d/x-y = 7...... (ii)
From eq. (i) and (ii)
2d/x+y = 7/2
Hence, Amith will take to row 2d km distance downstream in 7/2 hrs
= 3.5 hrs
= 3 hrs 30 min.
