travelling at the full speed against the current of a river a motorboat moves at the rate of 12 kilometers per hour relative to the land.Travelling at a half speed with the current,it moves at 8 kilometers per hour. Find the maximum speed of the boat in still water.
\n" ); document.write( "FULL SPEED OF BOAT IN STILL WATER =B
\n" ); document.write( "SPEED OF CURRENT OF WATER =W
\n" ); document.write( "SPEED OF BOAT AT FULL SPEED AGAINST CURRENT =B-W=12..............I
\n" ); document.write( "HALF SPEED OF BOAT IN STILL WATER =B/2=0.5B
\n" ); document.write( "SPEED OF BOAT AT HALF SPEED WITH THE CURRENT = 0.5B+W=8..............II
\n" ); document.write( "EQN.I+EQN.II
\n" ); document.write( "1.5B=20
\n" ); document.write( "B=20/1.5=13.333 \n" ); document.write( "
