A motor boat whose speed is 18 km/h in still water takes 1 hour more to go 24 km upstream than to return downstream to the same spot. Find the speed of the stream.

Boat speed in Still water 18km/hour. So boat speed in down stream =( 18+X) km/hour ,boat speed in up stream =(18 -X)km/hour. Time in up stream – time in down stream =1 hour. Now 24/(18-X) - 1 =24/ (18+X) . OR solving the equation—X2 +48X -18×18 =0 , OR (X-6)(X+54) OR X=6 km/hour speed of stream Boat speed in Still water 18km/hour. So boat speed in down stream =( 18+X) km/hour ,boat speed in up stream =(18 -X)km/hour. Time in up stream – time in down stream =1 hour. Now 24/(18-X) - 1 =24/ (18+X) . OR solving the equation—X2 +48X -18×18 =0 , OR (X-6)(X+54) OR X=6 km/hour speed of stream Boat speed in Still water 18km/hour. So boat speed in down stream =( 18+X) km/hour ,boat speed in up stream =(18 -X)km/hour. Time in up stream – time in down stream =1 hour. Now 24/(18-X) - 1 =24/ (18+X) . OR solving the equation—X2 +48X -18×18 =0 , OR (X-6)(X+54) OR X=6 km/hour speed of stream Boat speed in Still water 18km/hour. So boat speed in down stream =( 18+X) km/hour ,boat speed in up stream =(18 -X)km/hour. Time in up stream – time in down stream =1 hour. Now 24/(18-X) - 1 =24/ (18+X) . OR solving the equation—X2 +48X -18×18 =0 , OR (X-6)(X+54) OR X=6 km/hour speed of stream Boat speed in Still water 18km/hour.
