Answer : 3. "66.6 mts"
Explanation :
Answer: C) 66.6 mts Explanation: From above diagramAC represents the hill and DE represents the tower Given that AC = 100 m angleXAD = angleADB = 30° (∵ AX || BD ) angleXAE = angleAEC = 60° (∵ AX || CE) Let DE = h Then, BC = DE = h, AB = (100-h) (∵ AC=100 and BC = h), BD = CE tan 60°=AC/CE => √3 = 100/CE =>CE = 100/√3 ----- (1) tan 30° = AB/BD => 1/√3 = 100−h/BD => BD = 100−h(√3)∵ BD = CE and Substitute the value of CE from equation 1 100/√3 = 100−h(√3) => h = 66.66 mts The height of the tower = 66.66 mts.
Q: The product of two positive numbers is p. If each of the numbers is increased by 2, the new product is how much greater than twice the sum of the two original numbers ? 2516 05b5cc74ae4d2b4197774faae

Answer : 3. "(p + 4) times"
Explanation :
Answer: C) (p + 4) times Explanation: Let the two no's be a and b;Given product of the no's is p = ab;If the each nos is increased by 2 then the new product will be (a+2)(b+2) = ab + 2a + 2b + 4= ab + 2(a+b) + 4= p + 2(a+b) + 4Hence the new product is (p+4) times greater than twice the sum of the two original numbers.
Q: A shopkeeper has a job to print certain number of documents and there are three machines P, Q and R for this job.

Answer : 1. "4/3 days"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 4/3 days Explanation: Let the total number of documents to be printed be 12. The number of documents printed by P in 1 day = 4. The number of documents printed by Q in 1 day = 3. The number of documents printed by R in 1 day = 2. Thus, the total number of documents that can be printed by all the machines working simultaneously in a single day = 9. Therefore, the number of days taken to complete the whole work = 12/9 = 4/3 days.

Answer : 1. "4 kmph"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 4 kmph Explanation: Let the speed of current = 'C' km/hr Given the speed of boat in still water = 6 kmph Let 'd' kms be the distance it covers. According to the given data, Boat takes thrice as much time in going the same distance against the current than going with the current i.e, d8 - C = 3 × d8 + C ⇒ 24 - 3C = 8 + C⇒ 4C = 16⇒ C = 4 kmph Hence, the speed of the current C = 4 kmph.
