✔ 最佳答案
Downstream speed = (v + x) km/h, since distance = 48
so time = distance/speed = 48/(v + x) = 3
or v + x = 48/3 = 16.............(1)
Upstream speed = (v - x) km/h and time taken = 4 hr.
so v - x = 48/4 = 12............(2)
(1) + (2) we get 2v = 28
v = 14 km/h.
so x = 16 - v = 16 - 14 = 2 km/h.
