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 Distance covered = 16 km it is given that tie taken ti move 16 km downstream is 2 hours and for upstream it is 4 hours 16 = (B+R) 2 .............(1) 16 = (B-R) 4...............(2) from equation 1 and 2 B = 6 km/hr
