a boat running up stram takes 6 hours to cover a certain distance , while it takes 10 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 ) = 10 ( x - y ) 6 x + 6 y = 10 x - 10 y 16 y = 4 x 4 y = x x / y = 4 / 1 4 : 1 answer : option c
subtract(10, 6)
