SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on calculating the flow velocity of a river based on the movement of a motorboat. The motorboat travels downstream at a speed of 6 km/hr and encounters a raft at point 'a'. After one hour, the motorboat turns back and passes the raft again, which has drifted 6 kilometers downstream. The flow velocity can be determined using the relative speeds of the motorboat and the river current.
