To find: Speed of stream =? Statement I Downstream to upstream = 19 ∶ 13 Statement II Now, 182/Upstream + 114/Downstream = 10 ⇒ (182/13x) + (114/19x) = 10 ⇒ 14 + 6 = 10x ⇒ x = 2 Downstream = 38 kmph Upstream = 26 kmph Speed of stream = (Downstream - Upstream)/2 = 6kmph Thus, both statement I and II are necessary to find the required value.
