Let the speed of the motorboat in still water be x kmph.
Then, speed downstream = (x + 2) kmph.
Speed upstream = (x - 2) kmph.
:. 6/(x + 2) + 6/(x - 2) = 33/60 0r 11X^2 – 240x – 44=0
11X^2 – 242X + 2X –44 =0 or 11x(x – 22) + 2(x – 22) = 0
or (x-22)(11x+2)=0 or x=22.
:. Speed of motorboat in still water = 22 kmph.
