    A boat covers 143 km upstream in 13 hours and the same distance downstream in 11 hours. What is the speed (in km/hr) of the boat in still (without stream) water?

    ক)
    10 km/hr
    খ)
    12 km/hr
    গ)
    14 km/hr
    ঘ)
    8 km/hr

    Explanation

    Let, the speed (in km/hr) of the boat in still (without stream) water is x km/hr and speed of stream is y km/hr Now, 143/(x - y) = 13 ⇒ 13 (x - y) = 143 ⇒ x - y = 11..........(i) 143/(x + y) = 11 ⇒ 11 (x + y) = 143 ⇒ x + y = 13..........(ii) (i) + (ii) ⇒ x - y + x + y = 13 + 11 ⇒ 2x = 24 ∴ x = 12 km/hr
