- Question
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?
Options- A. 4 kmph
- B. 6 kmph
- C. 3 kmph
- D. 2 kmph
- Correct Answer
- 4 kmph
ExplanationLet 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,
Hence, the speed of the current C = 4 kmph.

Correct Answer: 324 m
Explanation:
Clearly, if A runs 600 meters, B runs = 540 m.
? If A runs 400 m, B runs = 540 x 400 / 600 = 540 x 4 / 6 = 90 x 4 = 360 m
Again, when B runs 500 m, C runs = 450 m
? When B runs 360 m, C runs = 450 x 360 / 500 = 45 x 36 / 5 = 9 x 36 = 324 m.
? A beats C by 400 - 324 = 76 m.
Correct Answer: 775
Explanation:
36.98276421 x 21.00002
Using nearest value in whole number for 36.9827421 is 37 and 21.0002 is 21
? 37 x 21 = 777 ? 775
Correct Answer: 1 ?BAC 2
Explanation:
Correct Answer: 0
Explanation:
Unit digit in (6374) 1793 = Unit digit in (4) 1793
= Unit digit in [(42)896 x 4]
= Unit digit in (6 x 4) = 4
Unit digit in (625)317 = Unit digit in (5)317 = 5
Unit digit in (341)491 = Unit digit in (1)491 = 1
Required digit = Unit digit in (4 x 5 x 1) = 0.
Correct Answer: 30
Explanation:
| Speed of the train relative to man | = (63 - 3) km/hr | |||||||
| = 60 km/hr | ||||||||
|
||||||||
|

| ∴ Time taken to pass the man |
|
|||||||
| = 30 sec. |
Correct Answer: 4 : 3
Explanation:

Correct Answer: 202860
Explanation:
45 = 5 x 9, where 5 and 9 are co-primes.
Unit digit must be 0 or 5 and sum of digits must be divisible by 9.
Among given numbers, such number is 202860.
Correct Answer: 4155
Explanation:
Let 7589 -x = 3434
Then, x = 7589 - 3434 = 4155
Correct Answer: 55°
Explanation:
At 11 : 50 A.M. from the formula here P = 11 and Q = 50 so required angle is 11 x 50/2 - 30 x 11 = 275 - 330 = -55 or ignoring the negative sign the required angle is 55°
