Correct Answer: 60 km/h
Explanation:
Let speed in the return journey = V
? Speed in onward journey = (125/100) x V = 5V/4 km/h
Average speed = (2x 5V/4 x V) / (5V/4 + V) = 10V/9 km/h
? 1600 x (9/10V) = 30 [? halts for 2 h ]
? V = 1600 x 9/30 x 10 = 48 km/h
? Speed in onward journey = 5V/4 = 5/4 x 48 = 60 km/h
Correct Answer: ? 4000
Explanation:
Here, CI - SI = 10, R = 5%, n = 2 yr and P = ?
According to the formula,
CI - SI = PR2/1002
? 10 = (P x 25)/10000
? P = (400 x 10) = ? 4000
Correct Answer: 8 km/hr
Explanation:
| Speed in still water = | 1 | (11 + 5) kmph = 8 kmph. |
| 2 |
Correct Answer: ? 5000
Explanation:
Let the principal be ? P.
Amount after first year = (P x 104)/100 and
amount after second year P x (104/100) x (4/100)
According to the question.
(P x 104 x 4)/(100 x 100) = 208
? P = ? 5000
Correct Answer: 25/??2 cm
Explanation:
Circumference of the circle = 2?r = 25
? r = 25 / (2?)
According to the formula,
Side of inscribed square = r?2
= 25 / (2?r x ?2)
= 25 / (??2 ) cm
Correct Answer: 15
Explanation:
Then, 3x = 2(x + 4) + 3 ⟺ x = 11.
∴ Third integer = x + 4 = 15.
Correct Answer: 81 cm
Explanation:
Percentage growth = (1/8) x 100 % = 12.5%
Height after 2 yr = 64 x (1+ 12.5/100)2
= 64 x (9/8) x (9/8) = 81 cm
