- Let speed of the ship be 1 mile/hr. then speed of the seaplane is 10 miles/hr. so, to travel 18 miles he seaplane requires 1.8 hrs. and in this 1.8 hrs. the ship has travelled 1.8 miles more. Therefore seaplane catch up with the ship at a distance of (18+1.8)=19.8=20 miles approx. from the shore.
