Answer is : 6 h 50 min
Explanation:
Let the speed of the motor boat = 36 kmph and
speed of current stream= 5 kmph.
The boat goes along with the current in 5 hours 10 minutes = 316hourFirst We Need To Calculate upstream and downstream for above condition
Speed downstream = (36x+5x) = 41x kmph
Since distance = speed × time, we have
distance = 41x×316 km. ..................(i)Speed upstream =(36x-5x) = 31x kmph
speed = 31x kmph .........................................(ii)Hence, time taken to come back
Time=distancespeed
=equation(i)equation(ii)
=41x×31631x
=416hours= 6 hours 50 minutes.
