a person goes by a boat 1km upstream to reach a point p where his hat falls into water after travelling 10 more minutes from p,he returns towards the shore and catches up with the hat exactly at the shore. what is the speed of the water current?

Read Solution (Total 6)

speed of current=u, speed of boat=v
when both are travelling opposite direction v-u+u=v
when both are travelling in same direction realtive velocity=v-u+u=v
so then the velocity is constant so time taken for catching the hat is equal to the time taken to travel away from the hat so total itime taken is 10+10=20mnts
to travel 1km
speed of stream=1/20*60=3kmph
