A boat goes 30 km upstream and 44 km downstream in 10 hours. In 13 hours, it can go 40 km upstream and 55 km downstream. Determine the speed of the stream and that of the boating till water.

Let,
the speed of the stream be = u kmph
the speed of the boat be = v kmph
speed upstream will be = v - u kmph
speed downstream will be = v + u kmph

30 km upstream in time duration = 30 / (v - u) hrs
44 km downstream in time duration = 44 / (v + u) hrs
44/(v + u) + 30/(v - u)
= 10 hrs .........(i)

Similarly,
40 /(v - u) + 55 / (v + u) = 13 hrs Multiply with 3/4:
30/(v - u) + 165 / 4(v + u) = 39/4 .......(ii)

Now (i) - (ii)
⇒ [44 - 165/4] / (v + u) = 10 - 39/4 = 1/4
⇒ v + u = 11 ..........(iii)
Substitute this in (1) to get: 44/11 + 30/(v - u) = 10
⇒ v - u = 30/6 = 5.........(iv)

Solving (iii) and (iv) ,
we get :
v = 8 kmph and
u = 3 kmph
