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 = $\frac{Total distance}{Total speed} = \frac{2 k}{\frac{k}{3} + \frac{k}{6}} = \frac{2 k x 18}{6 k + 3 k} = 4 kmph$

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

Q:

Is a square a rhombus?

A) TRUE

B) FALSE

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) TRUE

Explanation:

Yes, a square is a rhombus. But a rhombus is not a square unless the interior angles are at right angles.

We know that, a square is a quadrilateral with all sides equal and all the interior angles are 90 deg i.e, at right angles.

Whereas

a rhombus is also a quadrilateral with all sides equal but the interior angles are not at right angles. Hence, if the interior angles of a rhombus are all at right angles (90 deg), then it is square.

Q:

How many times can you subtract 5 from 25?

Answer

Technically or logically it is possible only once. As if you subtract 5 from 25 at first te result will be 20. Now, you can't subtract 5 from 25 since the left number is 20.

But if you go mathematically, it can be done infinite times and only 5 times without going into the negatives.
