The speed of the boat in still water is 5 Km/hr and the speed of the stream is 4 Km/hr. Boat takes 5 hr to travel downstream from point A to point B and then back to point A. Find the distance between A and B.
Vedic formula is :
Speed of the boat = u
Speed of the stream = v
time taken by the boat = t
Distance = t(u2 - v2)⁄2u
Distance = 5(52 - 42)⁄2 x 5
put the values in it and then we will get distance from A to B 4.5Km
