  • Explanation:

    Let the speed of the boat upstream = 3x km/h

     and the speed of the boat upsteam = 4x km/h

    According to question,

    Speed of the boat downstream = Distance/Time

    4x=70/(7/2)

    4x=70×2/7

    x=5km/h

    ∴ Speed of the boat in still water = 1/2 [Upstream

    speed + Downstream speed]

    =1/2[3x+4x]

    =7x/2=35/2

    =17.5 km/h
