Answer : 2. "5 m/h"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 5 m/h Explanation: As the distance travelled is constant, the time taken is inversely proportional to speed. Let 'u' be the speed of the current and 'v' be the speed of the boat. Speed of the boat downstream = v + u & upstream = v - u => v+u/v-u = 30/20 => v/u = 5 => v = 5u => v + u = 6u = 10/20/60 miles/hr => 6u = 30 m/h => u = 5 m/h

Answer : 1. "34"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 34 Explanation: M + Tu + W + Th = 4 x 48 = 192Tu + W + Th + F = 4 x 46 = 184M = 42Tu + W + Th = 192 - 42 = 150F = 184 – 150 = 34
Q: A train covers a distance between station A and station B in 45 min.If the speed of the train is reduced by 5 km/hr,then the same distance is covered in 48 min.what is the distance between the stations A and B ? 2600 05b5cc70ee4d2b4197774f347

Answer : 2. "60 kms"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 60 kms Explanation: Let 'd' be the distance and 's' be the speed and 't' be the timed=sxt45 mins = 3/4 hr and 48 mins = 4/5 hrAs distance is same in both cases;s(3/4) = (s-5)(4/5)3s/4 = (4s-20)/515s = 16s-80s = 80 km.=> d = 80 x 3/4 = 60 kms.
Q: A shopkeeper has a job to print certain number of documents and there are three machines P, Q and R for this job. P can complete the job in 3 days, Q can complete the job in 4 days and R can complete the job in 6 days. How many days the shopkeeper will it take to complete the job if all the machines are used simultaneously ? 2597 05b5cc758e4d2b4197774fbf4

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. "4:3"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 4:3 Explanation: Given 15% of x = 20% of y => 15x = 20y => x/y = 20/15 => x : y = 4 : 3
Q: A motorboat goes 8 km an hour in still water, but takes thrice as much time in going the same distance against the current than going with the current. Then find the speed of the current? 2595 05b5cc6ace4d2b4197774d09b

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.
Q: The difference between the time taken by two trains to travel a distance of 350 km is 2 hours 20 minutes. If the difference between their speeds is 5 km/hr, what is the speed of faster train ? 2592 05b5cc6c9e4d2b4197774df6a

Answer : 2. "30 kmph"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 30 kmph Explanation: Let the speed of the faster train be 'S' kmph Then speed of the slower train will be '(S-5)' kmph Time taken by faster train = 350/S hrs Time taken by slower train = 350/(S-5) hrs 350s-5 - 350s = 2 hrs 20 min = 213 = 73 => S = 30 km/hr.
