Q A boat moves downstream at the rate of 8 kmph and upstream at a rate of 5 kmph The

speed of boat in still water = (5+8)/2=>6.5kmph

let flow of stream is v
boat velocity is "b"
b+v=8 DOWN STREAM(stream velocity is in same direction of boat velocity)
b-v=5 UPSTREAM(opposite direction)
solving b=6.5

Speed of still water= 1/2(a+b)
=1/2(8+5)=6.5
7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
downward speed(a)=8, upward speed(b)=5
still water =1/2(a+b)=1/2(8+5) =6.5kmph

Vboat +Vstream = 8kmph
Vboat - Vstream = 5kmph

Vboat = 6.5 kmph thus B
