Let the speed of motor boat be Vm
let the speed of stream be Vs
For the raft the motot boat downstream goes at a speed of
(Vm + Vs - Vs) = Vm
for upstream = { Vm- Vs - (-Vs)} = Vm
Now since the displacement wrt to raft of the motor boat is zero, time for upstream journey is also 60min
{ since displcement is zero so Vm*60 - Vm*t = 0 so t is 60 Min)
now the speed of raft is same as speedfor the stream
so Vs* ( 60 + 60 )= 6 km
solving we get Vs= 3 km/mi
please check the ans whether it is right or not

- Aditya Agarwal It should be 3 km/hr
- Himanshu Giria The answer is three kilometres per hour
- Sahil Jain it was a smaal mistake
- Himanshu Giria o... thanx
