Question: The speed of a boat in still water is 9 km/h. The time it takes to travel downstream is half the time it takes to travel upstream. What is the speed of the stream?

Solution:
Let the speed of the current be = x km/h

Then,
Downstream speed = (9 + x) km/h
Upstream speed = (9 - x) km/h

According to the question:
(9 + x) = 2(9 - x)
⇒ 9 + x = 18 - 2x
⇒ 2x + x = 18 - 9
⇒ 3x = 9
⇒ x = 9/3
⇒ x = 3

∴ Speed of the stream = 3 km/h
