A rowing team rows a boat and covers a distance of 15 km in 5 hours while going upstream. When they go downstream, they cover a distance of 24 km in 4 hours. Find the speed of the boat in still water?

A5 km/h

B4.5 km/h

C3.5 km/h

D1.5 km/h

Answer:

B. 4.5 km/h

Read Explanation:

Downstream speed = 24/4 = 6 km/h Upstream speed = 15/5 = 3 km/h ∴ Speed of the Boat in still water = 1/2 × (6 + 3) = 4.5 km/h
