Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 554 sq. m

Explanation:

Volume of the cylindrical ditch = πrxrh = 22/7 ×7×7×2 = 308 sq.m

Area of remaining field = (X −πrxr) sq.m

= (X − 154)

ATQ –

(X – 154) ×0.77 = 308

(X – 154) = 400

X= 554 sq.m

Q:

Mahesh rows to the place 80 km away and back in 20 hours. He finds that he can row 8 km downstream in the same time as 4 km upstream. The speed of the boat in stillwater is

A) 9 kmph B) 7 kmph
C) 2 kmph D) 5 kmph
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 9 kmph

Explanation:
If Mahesh moves 8 km downstream in X hours

Downstream speed = 8/X kmph

upstream speed = 4/X kmph

Now 80/(8/X) + 80/(4/X)=20

X=2/3

downstream Speed = 8/(2/3)= 12 kmph

upstream Speed = 4/(2/3)= 6 kmph

Rate of the stream = (12+6)/2= 9 kmph
