Given:

Distance traveled for upstream = 60 km

Time taken for upstream = 5 hours

Distance traveled for downstream = 60 km

Time taken for downstream = 3 hours

Required:

The rate of the boat in the still water.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the speed of the water and y be the speed of the current.

For upstream , the speed is given as

$x\text{ + y}$

For downstream, the speed is given as,

$x\text{ - y}$

Now,

$Distance\text{ = speed }*\text{ time}$
