If a boat goes downstream 72 miles in 3 hours and upstream 60 miles in 6 hours, the rate of the river and the rate of the boat in still water respectively are

rate of the river 7 mi/hr

rate of the boat 17 mi/hr

Explanation:

Let the speed of the boat be x and the speed of the river be y.

When the boat is going down stream, we add the speed of both since they are moving in the same direction

x + y = 72 mi/3 hr  ⇒   x + y = 24 ...(1)

When the boat is going down stream, we subtract the velocity of the river since it slows the boat down

x - y = 60 mi/6 hr which can be rewritten as x = y + 10 (2)

Now we solve simultaneously by substituting equation (2) into (1)

x + y = 24

(y + 10) + y = 24

2y = 14

y = 7

x = 17

when the use of electricity burdens the fuse and miniarure circuit beakers and there is a possibility of a fuse then they automatically cut off the electricity supply to your homes and after you fix the problem u jzt switch it on and it continues the supply of electricity to ur homes
