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

Q:

There is a square field of area ‘X’ square meters. A cylindrical ditch of radius 7 meters and depth 2 meters is dug, and the earth is taken out and spread over the remaining part of the square field, the height of square field which goes up by 0.77 meters. What is the value of ‘X’ ? 

A) 548 sq. m B) 524 sq. m
C) 518 sq. m D) 554 sq. m
 
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
