A car covers a distance from town X to town Y at a speed of 45 km/h and returns at a speed of 75 km/h. If the total journey takes 8 hours, find the one-way distance between the two towns.
Explanation:
Let the one-way distance be d km. Time taken forward = d/45 and return = d/75. Given: d/45 + d/75 = 8. (5d + 3d) / 225 = 8 => 8d / 225 = 8 => d = 225 km.
A boatman can row 16 km/h in still water. If the river velocity index tracks at 4 km/h, find the time interval required by the boat hull to row 48 km upstream.
