Chapter 1

Boat & Stream

Upstream:

Boat is moving against the direction of water.

Suppose, u is the speed of boat in still water & v is the speed of stream, then:

Upstream Speed (x) = u – v

Downstream:

Boat is moving along the direction of water.

Suppose, u is the speed of boat in still water & v is the speed of stream, then:

Downstream Speed (y) = u + v

Speed Of Boat In Still Water:

0.5(y+x)

Speed Of Stream:

0.5(y-x)
