Question 32313: Good Evening Sir , I have an doubt can you please help me . the question is as following : A person can row 8 km upstream and 24 km downstream in 4 hours . He can row 12 km downstream and 12 km upstream in 4 hours . Find the speed of the person in still water and also the speed of current ? (is this answer right ..............) A. Let the speed of person be x km/hr & speed of sream be y km/hr . Therefore, Speed of person in downstream is x+y km?hr and speed upstream is x-y km/hr ( can u please solve after this ... I will be indebted >>>> Answer by checkley71(8403) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! DOWNSTREAM 24 KM IN 4 HOURS GIVES A SPEED OR 24/4 OR 6 KM/H
UPSTREAM 8 KM IN 4 HOURS GIVES A SPEED OF 8/4 OR 2 KM/H
THEREFORE THE CURRENT IS 6-CURRENT=2+CURRENT OR 4=2CURRENT OR CURRENT=4/2 OR CURRENT=2 KM/H.
