- Question
A motorboat takes half time to cover a certain distance downstream than upstream. What is the ratio between rate of current and rate of boat in still water?
Options- A. 1 : 3
- B. 3 : 2
- C. 2 : 3
- D. 3 : 1
- Correct Answer
- 1 : 3
ExplanationLet 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.
=> 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

Correct Answer:
Explanation:
According to question ,we can say that
From equation ?. x4 = 398 + 227 = 625
? x4 = 54
From equation ?. y2 = 346 - 321 = 25
? y2 = 52
Correct Answer: Sunday
Explanation:
The year 2004 is a leap year. So, it has 2 odd days.
But, Feb 2004 not included because we are calculating from March 2004 to March 2005. So it has 1 odd day only.
∴ The day on 6th March, 2005 will be 1 day beyond the day on 6th March, 2004.
Given that, 6th March, 2005 is Monday.
∴ 6th March, 2004 is Sunday (1 day before to 6th March, 2005).

Correct Answer: Couldn't be determined
Explanation:
Couldn't be determined, since the total amount of money is not given in either of the case
Correct Answer: a2 : c2
Explanation:
Given that a /b = b/c
? b2 = ac
? a4 : b4 = a4 : a2 c2 = a2 : c2
Correct Answer: 4 km/h
Explanation:
Given, A = 6 km/h, B = 3 km/ h
According to the formula, Average speed = 2AB/(A + B)
? Required average speed = 2 x 6 x 3/(6 + 3)
= 36/9 = 4 km/h
Correct Answer: 2 h
Explanation:
Given that, W + D = 6 ...(i)
[ w = Time taken while walking and
D = Time taken while driving ]
From Eq. (i)
5 +D = 6
? D = 1
2D = 2 x 1 = 2
? He will take 2 h to drive both ways.
Correct Answer: 10
Explanation:
175760 = 24 x 5 x 13 3
= 23 x 2 x 5 x 133
To make perfect cube, it must be divided by 2 x 5 = 10
Correct Answer: p2 = 4q
Explanation:
On comparing it with ax2 + bx + c = 0 , we get a = 1, b = p, c = q
The roots of the equation x2 + px + q = 0 are equal if
b2 - 4ac = 0
? p2 - 4q = 0 ? p2 = 4q.
Thus , required answer is option B .
Correct Answer: 1 : 9
Explanation:
Let the volume be x3 and 27x3
? Their edges are x and 3x
Now Ratio of their surface area = 6x2 : 54x2 = 1 : 9
