Problema Solution

A motor boat travels at the rate of 50 kph down the river. If the current of the river is 5 kph. How far can it travel up the river in 2 hours?

Answer provided by our tutors

trsaveling velocity of boat=50kmph

velocity of current=5kmph

velosity of boat in still water=50-5=45kmph

velocity of boat in opposit to current =45-5=40kmph

distance=velocity*time

=40*2

=80km
