Correct Answer: 16
Explanation:
B.G. =(T.D.)^2/P.W.
= Rs. (160*160)/1600 = Rs. 16.
Correct Answer: 360
Explanation:
Sum =(B.D. x T.D.)/(B.D. - T.D.)
= Rs. (72 x 60) / (72 - 60)
= Rs. (72 x 60) /12
= Rs. 360.
Correct Answer: Rs. 1.25
Explanation:
F = Rs. 8100
R = 5%
T = 3 months = 1/4 years
Therefore BD - TD = 101.25-100 = Rs.1.25
Correct Answer: Rs. 18
Explanation:
T= 6 months = 1/2 year
R = 6%
Correct Answer: Rs.129
Explanation:
B.G = S.I On T.D
= Rs. (120 * 15 * 1/2 * 1/100)
= Rs.9
B.D - T.D = Rs.9
B.D = Rs.(120 +9) = Rs.129
Correct Answer: 3h
Explanation:
Upstream speed = B-S
Downstream speed = B+s
B-S = 15/5 = 3 km/h
Again B= 4S
Therefore B-S = 3= 3S
=> S = 1 and B= 4 km/h
Therefore B+S = 5km/h
Therefore, Time during downstream = 15/5 = 3h
Correct Answer: 4 2⁄3 Kmph
Explanation:
Let man’s rate upstream be x km/hr. Then his rate downstream is 3 x km/hr Given: Speed in still water = 9 (1/3) = 28/3 km/hr i.e, ½ (a+b) = 28/3 km/hr ½ (x+3x) = 28/3 2x = 28/3 x = 28/ 2 x 3 = 14/3 km/hr rate upstream b = 14/3 km/hr and rate downstream a = 14/3 x 3 = 14 km/hr speed of the current = ½ (a-b) = ½ (14 – 14/3) = ½ (42-14/3) = 28/6 = 4 (2/3) km/hr
Correct Answer: 9 km/hr, 3 km/hr
Explanation:
Let the speed of the boat = p kmph
Let the speed of the river flow = q kmph
From the given data,
=> 56p - 56q -28p - 28q = 0
=> 28p = 84q
=> p = 3q.
Now, given that if
Hence, the speed of the boat = p kmph = 9 kmph and the speed of the river flow = q kmph = 3 kmph.
Correct Answer: 180 km
Explanation:
Speed in downstream = (14 + 4) km/hr = 18 km/hr;
Speed in upstream = (14 ? 4) km/hr = 10 km/hr.
Let the distance between A and B be x km. Then,
x/18 + (x/2)/10 = 19 ? x/18 + x/20 = 19 ? x = 180 km.
Correct Answer: 16 h
Explanation:
If t1 and t2 are the upstream and down stream times. Then time taken in still water is given by
