1. The time taken by a boat to travel a distance downstream is half the time taken by it to travel the same distance upstream. What is the speed of the boat downstream if it travels 7.5 km upstream in 1 hour 30 minutes ? (in km/h)

Let the speed of boat in still water and speed of river be B km/hr and R km/hr respectively . Speed of boat in downstream = B+ R km/hr Speed of boat in upstream = B-R km/hr = $$frac{7.5}{1.5}$$= 5km/hr Let the same distance travelled in upstream and downstream be D km So , $$frac{D}{B-R}$$ =2× $$frac{D}{B+R}$$ B+R = 10 km/hr
