Answer : 1. "29"
Explanation :

Answer: A) 29 Explanation: Let the five consecutive odd numbers be x-4, x-2, x, x+2, x+4 According to the question, Difference between square of the average of first two odd number and the of the average last two odd numbers is 396 i.e, x+3 and x-3 ⇒x + 32 - x - 32 = 396⇒ x2 + 9 + 6x - x2 + 6x - 9 = 396⇒ 12x = 396⇒ x = 33   Hence, the smallest odd number is 33 - 4 = 29.

Answer : 1. "1 : 3"
Explanation :

Answer: A) 1 : 3 Explanation: Let the speed of the boat in still water is 'w' Speed of the current is 'c' Let the distance between two places is 'd' According to the question, motorboat takes half time to cover a certain distance downstream than upstream. dw+c = 12dw-c => 2w - 2c = w + c => w = 3c => c : w = 1 : 3   Hence, the ratio between rate of current(c) and rate of boat in still water(w) = 1 : 3
