a boatman can row 96 km downstream in 8 hr . if the speed of the current is 4 km / hr , then find in what time he will be able to cover 8 km upstream ?
explanation : speed in downstream = 96 / 8 = 12 kmph speed of current = 4 km / hr speed of the boatman in still water = 12 â € “ 4 = 8 kmph speed in upstream = 8 â € “ 4 = 4 kmph time taken to cover 8 km upstream = 8 / 4 = 2 hours . answer : d
divide(8, subtract(subtract(divide(96, 8), 4), 4))
