Q:

A man went downstream for 28 km in a motor boat and immediately returned. It took the man twice as long to make the return trip. If the speed of the river flow were twice as high, the trip downstream and back would take 672 minutes. Find the speed of the boat in still water and the speed of the river flow.

A) 12 km/hr, 3 km/hr B) 9 km/hr, 3 km/hr
C) 8 km/hr, 2 km/hr D) 9 km/hr, 6 km/hr
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 9 km/hr, 3 km/hr

Explanation:

Let the speed of the boat = p kmph

Let the speed of the river flow = q kmph

From the given data,

2 x 28p + q = 28p - q

 

=> 56p - 56q -28p - 28q = 0

=> 28p = 84q

=> p = 3q.

Now, given that if

283q + 2q + 283q - 2q = 67260=> 285q + 28q = 67260=> q = 3 kmph=> x  =3q = 9 kmph

 

Hence, the speed of the boat = p kmph = 9 kmph and the speed of the river flow = q kmph = 3 kmph.

Q:

Which is a reserved word in the java programming language?

A) Variable B) Identifier
C) Keyword D) Main
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Keyword

Explanation:

Reserved words are words that cannot be used as object or variable names in a Java program because they're already used by the syntax of the Java programming language.

Java reserved words are keywords that are reserved by Java functions or other uses that cannot be used as identifiers (e.g., variable names, function names, class names).

If a reserved word was used as a variable you would get an error or unexpected result.

 

Examples : Int, Long, Abstract, Class, Break, Catch, Case, Public, Static, Void,...
