Question: If a boat can travel 50 km downstream in 2 hours, and the speed of the current is 5 km/h, what is the speed of the boat in still water?
Options:
Correct Answer: 25 km/h
Solution:
Speed downstream = Distance/Time = 50 km / 2 h = 25 km/h. Speed of boat in still water = Speed downstream - Speed of current = 25 km/h - 5 km/h = 20 km/h.
