(C) Let the speed of the motorboat in still water be $u = 45 	ext{ km/h}$ and the speed of the stream be $v 	ext{ km/h}$.Time taken to travel $80 	ext{ km}$ along the stream (downstream) is $1 	ext{ h } 20 	ext{ min} = 1 + \frac{20}{60} 	ext{ h} = 1 + \frac{1}{3} 	ext{ h} = \frac{4}{3} 	ext{ h}$.Downstream speed $= u + v = \frac{	ext{Distance}}{	ext{Time}} = \frac{80}{4/3} = 80 	imes \frac{3}{4} = 60 	ext{ km/h}$.Since $u = 45 	ext{ km/h}$,we have $45 + v = 60$,which gives $v = 15 	ext{ km/h}$.Now,the speed against the stream (upstream) is $u - v = 45 - 15 = 30 	ext{ km/h}$.Time taken to cover $80 	ext{ km}$ upstream $= \frac{	ext{Distance}}{	ext{Upstream Speed}} = \frac{80}{30} 	ext{ h} = \frac{8}{3} 	ext{ h}$.Converting to hours and minutes: $\frac{8}{3} 	ext{ h} = 2 \frac{2}{3} 	ext{ h} = 2 	ext{ h } + (\frac{2}{3} 	imes 60) 	ext{ min} = 2 	ext{ h } 40 	ext{ min}$.

Speed of a motorboat in still water is $45 \text{ km/h}$. If the motorboat travels $80 \text{ km}$ along the stream in $1 \text{ h } 20 \text{ min}$,then the time taken by it to cover the same distance against the stream will be:

The current of a stream runs at $1 \, km/h$. $A$ motor boat goes $35 \, km$ upstream and back again to the starting point in $12 \, hours$. The speed of the motor boat in still water in $km/h$ is:

$A$ boat goes $40\, km$ upstream in $8\, h$ and $36\, km$ downstream in $6\, h$. The speed of the boat in still water is......$km/h$

$A$ boat takes half the time to travel a certain distance downstream compared to upstream. The ratio of the speed of the boat in still water to the speed of the current is:

$A$ man rows upstream $12 \text{ km}$ and downstream $28 \text{ km}$,taking $5 \text{ hours}$ each time. The velocity of the water current is ......... $\text{km/h}$.

The speed of a boat in still water is $6\, km/h$. It takes the boat twice as long to row up as to row down the river. Find the rate of the stream (in $km/h$).
