Question 9

Time: 00:00:00
A man rows ‘k’ km upstream and back again downstream to the same point in H hours. The speed of rowing in still water is s km/hr and the rate of stream is r km/hr. Then

\left ( s^{2}-r^{2} \right )=2sk/H

\left ( s^{2}-r^{2} \right )=2sk/H

(r + s) = kH / (r -s)

(r + s) = kH / (r -s)

rs=kH

rs=kH
