Let the speed of th motorboat in still water be xkm/hr.
 
→Speed of the motorboat in downstream = x + 3
 
→Speed of the motorboat in upstream = x - 3
 
We know that,
Distance = Time × Speed
 
Distance is same.
 
→ 6(x - 3) = 5(x + 3)
→ 6x - 18 = 5x + 15
→  x = 33 


Therefore the speed of th motorboat in still water is 33km/hr.
