Distance covered by a boat in 5 hours = 36 km
Rate upstream of boat {tex}=\frac{36}{5}{/tex} 7.2 kmph
Speed of the stream = 2.4 kmph
{tex}\therefore{/tex} Speed of the boat in still water
= (7.2 + 2.4) kmph
= 9.6 kmph
{tex}\therefore{/tex} Rate downstream of the boat
= (9.6 + 2.4) kmph
= 12 kmph
{tex}\therefore{/tex} Time taken in covering 78 km distance
{tex}=\frac{78}{12}{/tex}
= 6.5 hours or 6 hour 30 minutes.
