A steamer moves with a speed of 4.5 km/h in still water to a certain upstream point and comes back to the starting point in a river which flows at 1.5 km/h. The average speed of steamer for the total journey is

A) 12 km/h B) 10 km/h
C) 6 km/h D) 4 km/h
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 4 km/h

Upstream speed = 4.5 -1.5 = 3 km/hr

Average Speed = (6 X 3) / 4.5 = 4km/hr

Q:

What is the area of an obtuse angled triangle given below with two sides are 8 and 12 and the angle included between two sides is 150 deg?

A) 48 sq units B) 24 sq units
C) 12 sq units D) 6 sq units
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 24 sq units

Explanation:

We know that, 

The area of a triangle with two sides given and included angle

A = 1/2 x product of sides x Sin(angle) 

 

Here the two sides are 8 & 12

Angle = 150

 

Area = 1/2 x 8 x 12 x sin150

Sin(150) = sin(90+60) = cos(60) = 1/2

 

A = 48 x 1/2 = 24

Area of the given triangle = 24 sq units.
