Read Solution (Total 1)
-
- Rate upstream = (750/675) = 10/9 m/sec
Rate downstream (750/450) m/sec = 5/3 m/sec
since, 7 and half minutes = 7.5 minutes as, 1min = 60sec 7.5 min = 7.5*60 = 450 sec
Rate in still water = (1/2)*[(10/9) + (5/3)] m/sec.
= 25/18 m/sec
= (25/18)*(18/5) kmph
= 5 kmph - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
