Question:medium
The speed of the stream is 25 kmph. The speed of the boat downstream is 15 m / s. Find the speed of the boat in still water.
The speed of the stream is 25 kmph. The speed of the boat downstream is 15 m / s. Find the speed of the boat in still water.
Show Hint
Downstream speed is always the highest speed because the water helps the boat. Still water speed is simply the average of Upstream and Downstream speeds.

Top Questions on Boat and Stream
- Swati can row a boat on still water at a speed of 5 km/hr. However, on a given river, it takes her 1 hour more to row the boat 12 km upstream than downstream. One day, Swati rows the boat on this river from X to Y, which is N km upstream from X. Then she rows back to X immediately. If she takes at least 2 hours to complete this round trip, what is the minimum possible value of N?
