22 kmph



Let the speed of motor boat instill water be X kmph 

Then, speed in downstream = (X + 2) km 

and. speed in upstream = (X - 2) kmph 

Time taken to row 10km & back = (10/X+2,10/X-2) 

10/X+2 + 10/X-2 = 55/60 

11X² - 240X - 44 = 0 

(X - 22)(11x + 2) = 0 

X = 22 or X = -2/11 

Then X = 22 kmph
