Question

Flying against the wind, an airplane travels 3360 kilometers in hours. Flying with the wind, the same plane travels 7560 kilometers in 9 hours. What is the rate of the plane in still air and what is the rate of the wind?

Answer 1

606.6 and 233.3 respectively

Explanation:

Let the speed of plane in still air be x and the speed of wind be y.

ATQ, (x+y)*9=7560 and (x-y)*9=3360. Solving it, we get x=606.6 and y=233.3
