Expert Solution
Step 1

As per the bartleby guidelines for more than one question only one has to be solved. Please upload the other question separately.

Let the speed of boat in still water is x kmh.

The rate of the current is 4 kmh. 

The current speed against wind is x-4 kmh.

The current speed with wind is x+4 kmh.

Similarly the distance against current flow which is upstream is 1 km.

The distance with current flow which is downstream is 5 km.
