A swimmer can swim downstream at 13 km/h and upstream at 7 km/h. Find the speed of swimmer in still water.

A6 km/h

B20 km/h

C10 km/h

D8 km/h

Answer:

C. 10 km/h

Read Explanation:

Let speed of swimmer in still water is S and speed of current is C S + C = 13 S - C = 7 S=[13+7]/2 =10

A boat covers a distance of 30 km downstream in 2 hours while it take 6 hours to cover the same distance upstream. If the speed of the current is half of the speed of the boat then what is the speed of the boat in km per hour?
The total time by the boat to cover 72 km upstream and 180 km downstream in 16 hours. The total time taken by the same boat to cover 108 km upstream and 126 downstream in 16 hours. If the sum of the upstream speed and downstream speed of the boat is 30 km, then find the speed of the stream.
