A boat takes 1.6 hours longer to go 36 kms up a river than down the river. If the speed of the water current is 4 km per hr, what is the speed of the boat in still water?

उत्तर
Let the speed of the boat in still water be “x”
Time taken to go for up of a river = `36/(x + 4)`
By the given condition
`36/(x - 4) - 36/(x + 4)` = 1.6
`(36(x + 4) - 36(x - 4))/((x + 4)(x - 4)) = 16/10`
`(36[x + 4 - (x - 4)])/(x^2 - 16) = 16/10`
`(36 xx 8)/(x^2 - 16) = 16/10`
16(x2 – 16) = 36 × 8 × 10
x2 – 16 = `(36 xx 8 xx 10)/16`
x2 – 16 = 180
x2 = 180 + 16
x2 = 196
x2 = `sqrt(196)`
= ± 14
The speed of the boat in still water = `(14"km")/"hr"`
