Speed of boat in still water is 10kmph, if it travels 24km downstream, 16km upstream in the same amount of time, what is the speed of the stream?

• 2kmph
  24/(x+10)=16/(10-x)
  after solve we will get
  2kmph

• still water speed = 10kmph
  let d is distancecvrd by boat
  so d/24=upwrd speed ( u )
  & d/16 = down stream speed ( v )
  so still water is 1(u + v)/2=(d/24+d/16)/2=10
  d = 192 kms
