A motor boat whose speed is 24 km/hr in ...

A motor boat whose speed is 24 km/hr in still water takes 1 hr more to go 32 km upstream than to return downstream to the same spot. Find the speed of the stream.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Given,
Total Distance `= 32km `
Speed `= (24km)/h`
Let speed of the stream be `(x km)/h`
then, Speed moving upstream `= 24-x`
And,Speed moving downstream `= 24+x`
