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:

  1. 20 km/h
  2. 25 km/h
  3. 30 km/h
  4. 35 km/h

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.

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

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?
  • Step 1: Identify the distance traveled downstream, which is 50 km.
  • Step 2: Identify the time taken to travel that distance, which is 2 hours.
  • Step 3: Calculate the speed downstream using the formula: Speed = Distance / Time.
  • Step 4: Plug in the values: Speed downstream = 50 km / 2 h = 25 km/h.
  • Step 5: Identify the speed of the current, which is 5 km/h.
  • Step 6: To find the speed of the boat in still water, subtract the speed of the current from the speed downstream.
  • Step 7: Calculate the speed of the boat in still water: 25 km/h - 5 km/h = 20 km/h.
  • Relative Speed – Understanding how the speed of a boat is affected by the current when traveling downstream.
  • Distance, Speed, and Time Relationship – Applying the formula Distance = Speed × Time to calculate speed.
