A boat goes 12 km in 1 h in still water. It takes thrice time in covering the same distance against the current. Find the speed of the current.
Correct Answer: Description for Correct answer:
Speed of a boat in still water
\( \Large \frac{Distance}{Time} = \frac{12}{1} = 12 km/h \)
Speed against the current = \( \Large \frac{12}{3} = 4 km/h \)
Let the speed of the current = x km/h
According to the question,
= 12 - 4 = x = 8 km/h
