Correct option is A)
Let the speed of boat in still water=x km\hr and The speed of stream=y km\hr
Speed of boat at downstream
⇒(x+y)km/hr
Speed of boat at upstream
⇒(x−y)km/hr ∵time= speed distance
Time taken to cover 30 km upstream ⇒
x−y 30
Time taken to cover 44 km downstream⇒
x+y 44
According to the first condition,
⇒ x−y 30 = x+y 44 =10
Time taken to cover 40 km upstream ⇒
x−y 40
Time taken to cover 55 km downstream ⇒
x+y 55
According to the second condition,
⇒ x−y 40 = x+y 55 =13 Let x−y 1 =uand x+y 1 =v ⇒30u+44v=10.....eq1 ⇒40u+55v=13.....eq2
Multiplying eq1 by 3 and eq2 by 5 and subtract both
⇒(150u+220v=50)−(160u+220v=52)
⇒−10u=−2⇒u= 5 1 put u= 5 1 in eq1 ⇒30× 5 1 +44v=10⇒44v=4⇒v= 4 1 ⇒u= x−y 1 = 5 1 ⇒x−y=5...eq3 ⇒v= x+y 1 = 11 1 ⇒x+y=11...eq4
Subtracting eq3 and eq4, we get
⇒x=8 Put x=8 in eq3 ⇒y=3
Hence, the speed of the boat in still water=8km\hr
The speed of stream=3km\hr

A boat goes 30 km upstream and 44 downstream in 10 hours. The same boat goes 40 km upstream and 55 km downstream in 13 hours. On this information some student guessed the speed of the boat in still water as 8.5 km / h and speed of the boat in still water as 8.5 km / h and speed of the stream as 3.8 km / h. Do you agree with their guess? Explain what do we learn from the incident?

Let the speed of boat = x km/hr.
Let the speed of stream = y km/hr.
Net Speed of boat in upstream = (x - y)km/hr.
Net Speed of boat in downstream = (x + y)km/hr.
Time taken to cover 30 km upstream
= 30 x − y hrs.
Time taken to cover 40 km downstream
= 44 x + y hrs.
According to question,
Total time taken = 10 hrs.
30 x − y + 44 x + y = 10 ...(i)
Now, Time taken to cover 55 km downstream
= 55 x + y h r s .
Time taken to cover 40 km upstream
= 40 x − y hrs.
Total time taken = 13 hrs.
40 x − y + 55 x + y = 13 ...(ii)
Solving eq. (i) and eq. (ii).
Let 1 x − y = u , 1 x + y = v 30 u + 44 v = 10 ...(iii) 40 u + 55 v = 13 ...(iv)
Multiplying eq. (iii) by 4 and eq. (iv) by 3, and subtracting we get
120 u + 176 v = 40 120 u + 165 v = 39 − − − 11 v = 1 v = 1 11
Putting the value of v in eq. (iii)
30 u + 44 v = 10 ⇒ 30 u + 44 × 1 11 = 10 ⇒ 30 u + 4 = 10 ⇒ 30 u = 6 ⇒ u = 6 30 or u = 1 5 Now, v = 1 11 ⇒ 1 x + y = 1 11 ⇒ x + y = 11 ...(v) And u = 1 5 ⇒ 1 x − y = 1 5 ⇒ x − y = 5 ...(vi)
On solving eq. (v) and (vi)
x + y = 11 x − y = 5 –––––––––––– 2 x = 16 o r x = 8
Put the value of x in eq. (v)
8 + y = 11 y = 11 - 8 y = 3
The speed of boat in still water = 8 km/hr.
The speed of stream = 3 km/hr.
We learn that the speed of boat is slow in upstream and fast in downstream

Hint – Here we will proceed by using the formulas Downstream speed :
a=u+v a=u+v , upstream speed: b=u−v b=u−v
. Then the speed of boat in still water
u= 1 2 (a+b) u=12(a+b)
, the speed of the boat in still water:
v= 1 2 (a−b) v=12(a−b) .
Complete step-by-step solution -
Let the speed of the boat in still water =
x x km per hour.
And, the speed of stream
=y =y km per hour.
Speed of boat at downstream
⇒(x+y) ⇒(x+y) km per hour.
Speed of boat at upstream
⇒(x−y) ⇒(x−y) km per hour. ∵ ∵ time= distance speed time=distancespeed
Time taken to cover 30 km upstream
⇒ 30 x−y ⇒30x−y
Time taken to cover 44 km downstream
⇒ 44 x+y ⇒44x+y
According to the first condition,
⇒ 30 x−y + 44 x+y =10 ⇒30x−y+44x+y=10
Time taken to cover 40 km upstream
⇒ 40 x−y ⇒40x−y
Time taken to cover 55 km downstream
⇒ 55 x+y ⇒55x+y
According to the second condition,
⇒ 40 x−y + 55 x+y =13 ⇒40x−y+55x+y=13 Let 1 x−y =u 1x−y=u and 1 x+y =v 1x+y=v ⇒30u+44v=10 ⇒30u+44v=10 …. (1) ⇒40u+55v=13 ⇒40u+55v=13 …. (2)
Multiply (1) by 5 and (2) by 4 and subtract both
⇒(150u+220v=50)−(160u+220v=52)
⇒(150u+220v=50)−(160u+220v=52)
⇒−10u=−2 ⇒u= 1 5 ⇒−10u=−2⇒u=15 Put u= 1 5 u=15 in equation (1) ⇒30× 1 5 +44v=10 ⇒44v=4 ⇒v= 1 11
⇒30×15+44v=10⇒44v=4⇒v=111
⇒u= 1 x−y = 1 5 ⇒u=1x−y=15 ⇒x−y=5 ⇒x−y=5 …. (3) ⇒v= 1 x+y = 1 11 ⇒v=1x+y=111 ⇒x+y=11 ⇒x+y=11 …. (4)
Adding equation (3) and equation (4), we get
⇒x−y=5 ⇒x−y=5 + ( x+y=11 x+y=11 ) ⇒x=8 ⇒x=8 Put x=8 x=8 in (3) x−y=5 ⇒8−5=y ⇒3=y x−y=5⇒8−5=y⇒3=y
Hence, the speed of the boat in still water = 8 km per hour and the speed of stream = 3 km per hour.
Note – Whenever we come up with this type of problem, one must know that when an object moves downstream in a river, the river current supports the object’s movement and hence the net speed of the object is the sum of its speed in still water and the speed of the river current. On the other hand, the current acts against the object’s movement if the object is travelling upstream, hence the net speed of the object is still water subtracted by the speed of the river current.
Guys, does anyone know the answer?
