Q:

Rajesh rows in still water with a speed of 4.5 kmph to go to a certain place and comes back. Find his average speed for the whole journey, if the river is flowing with a speed of 1.5 kmph?

A) 2 kmph B) 4 kmph
C) 6 kmph D) 8 kmph
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 4 kmph

Explanation:

Let the distance in one direction = k kms

Speed in still water = 4.5 kmph

Speed of river = 1.5

Hence, speed in upstream = 4.5 - 1.5 = 3 kmph

Speed in downstream = 4.5 + 1.5 = 6 kmph

Time taken by Rajesh to row upwards = k/3 hrs

Time taken by Rajesh to row downwards = k/6 hrs

Now, required Average speed =Total distanceTotal speed = 2kk3 + k6 = 2k x 186k + 3k = 4 kmph 

 

Therefore, the average speed of the whole journey = 4kmph.

Q:

Out of three numbers, the first is twice the second and is half of the third. If the average of the three numbers is 56, what will be the sum of the highest number and the lowest number?

A) 120 B) 160
C) 80 D) 60
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 120

Explanation:

Let the three numbers be x, y, z.

From the gien data,

x = 2y ....(1)

x = z/2 => z = 2(2y) = 4y .....(From 1)  ...........(2)

Given average of three numbers = 56

Then,

 

x + y + z3 = 562y + y + 4y3 = 56  (From 1 & 2)7y = 56 x 3y = 24

Now,

x = 2y => x = 2 x 24 = 48

z = 4y = 4 x 24 = 96

 

Now, the highest number is z = 96 & smallest number is y = 24

 

Hence, required sum of highest number and smallest number

= z + y

= 96 + 24

= 120.
