A boat moves along the flow of river between two fixed points A and B. it takes `t_(1)` time when going downstream and takes `t_(2)` time when going upstream between these two points. What time it will take in still water to cover the distance equal to AB.

To solve the problem, we need to find the time taken by the boat to cover the distance AB in still water, given the times taken to travel downstream and upstream. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Problem:** - Let the distance between points A and B be \( D \). - The time taken to travel downstream (with the current) is \( t_1 \). - The time taken to travel upstream (against the current) is \( t_2 \). ...

A motorboat covers the distance between two spots on the river banks t_(1)=8h and t_(2)=12h in down stream and upstream respectively. The time required for the boat to cover this distance in still water will be

A boat takes 4 hrs to travel certain distance in a river in down stream and it takes 6 hrs to travel the same distance in upstream. Then the time taken by the boat to travel the same distance in still water is

A motorboat covers a given distance in 6h moving downstream on a river. It covers the same distance in 10h moving upstream. The time it takes to cover the same distance in still water is

When a boat travels in a river (strictly in a straight line), it can go either in the direction of flow of river (i.e downstream) or in the direction opposite the flow of river (i.e. upstrem ). Thus the boat's actual speed is more than by which it can move in stationary water while travelling downstram (as river's flow speed is added to it) and less while travelling upstream (as the boat moves against the flow of river).Based on the given information answer the following questions A boat going downstream in a following river overcome a raft at a point P. 1 h later it turned back and after some time passed the raft at a distance 6 km from point P. After reversing its direction ,how much time was taken by the boat to meet the raft again ( i.e. 2^(nd) time) ?

A man standing on a moving escalator, completes a certain distance in time t_(1) . If the escalator does not move then man covers this distance in time t_(2) by walking. (i) How much time will he take to cover the same distance if he move on the moving escalator in the same direction ? (ii) How much time will he take to cover the same distance if he move on the moving escalator in the opposite direction ?

A man takes 3 h to cover a certain distance along the flow and takes 6h to cover the same distance opposite to flow. In how much time, he will cross this distance in still water.
