A son and father goes for boating in river
upstream . After rowing for 1 mile son notices the
hat of his father falling in the river. After 5 min.
he tells his father that his hat has fallen. So they
turn round and are able to pick the hat at the
point from where they began boating after 5min.
Tell the speed of river?

• let the speed of river nd boat in still watr be r m/min and b m/min.so reltv speed in upstrm (b-r)m/min and in dwnstrm (b+r)m/min.now in upstm distnce covered in 5 min is 5*(b-r)mile
  so total distnce covered 1+5*(b-r)mile in upstrm
  in dwnstrm distnce covred in 5min is 5*(b+r)mile
  now 1+5*(b-r)=5*(b+r)
  1+5b-5r=5b+5r
  1=10r
  r=1/10 mile/min or 6 mile/hr

• The hat fallen after travelling one mile and after that they travelled for(5MIN).so that hat travelled down stream for one mile.
  (fell) (tell to father)
  A---->B---->C Upstream-
  1mile 5min
  AA)
  Total distance covered by cap to reach frm B to A =1 mile (with speed of river)so speed of river =1 mile/ 10 min
  = 1/(10/60)hr
  =6 mile/hr
