उत्तर
Given, speed of stream = 1 km/h
Let speed of the steamer in still water be x km/h.
Then, speed of steamer downstream = (x + 1) km/h
And speed of steamer upstream = (x – 1) km/h
According to the question,
Distance covered upstream = Distance covered downstream
⇒ (Speed of steamer in upstream) × Time taken upstream
= (Speed of steamer downstream) × Time taken downstream ...[∵ Distance = Speed × Time]
⇒ (x – 1) × 6 = (x + 1) × 5
⇒ 6x – 6 = 5x + 5
⇒ 6x – 5x = 6 + 5
∴ x = 11
Therefore, the speed of steamer in still water is 11 km/h.
