a boat running up stram takes 6 hours to cover a certain distance , while it takes 8 hours to cover the same distance running down stream . what is the ratio between the speed of the boat and the speed of water current respectively ?
"explanation : let speed of boat is x km / h and speed stream is y km / hr 6 ( x + y ) = 8 ( x - y ) 6 x + 6 y = 8 x - 8 y 14 y = 2 x 7 y = x x / y = 7 / 1 7 : 1 answer : option d"
subtract(8, 6)
