we know that speed = distance traveled/time taken
let the total distance traveled by the car is 2x km.
then time taken by it to cover first half is x/60 hour.
and for second half is x/40 hour.
Then average speed= total distance travelled / total time taken.

i.e. 2xx60+x40

=> 2x5x120

= 48 kmph.

Given

6 = 3 => Number of letters in SIX = 3

12 = 6 => Number of letters in TWELVE = 6

14 = 8 => Number of letters in FOURTEEN = 8

Similarly,

22 = 9 => Number of letters in TWENTY TWO = 9

Therefore, 22 = 9.

Given that to find 15 of 80

=> What % of 80 is 15

Let it be 'p'

=> p% of 80 = 15

=> $$\begin{gathered} p x 80100 = 15 \\ ⇒p = 15 x 10080 \\ ⇒p = 150080 = 18.75 \end{gathered}$$

Therefore, 15 is 18.75% of 80 => 18.75% of 80 = 15

Example::

Now, in the similar way we can find 15% of 80 =?

=> 15x80/100 = p

=> p = 4 x 3 = 12

Therefore, 15% of 80 = 12

'Maelstrom' refers to a violent and confused state. The word closest in meaning would be 'turmoil', which also means a state of great disturbance.

The One-word substitute for 'a post without remuneration' is Honorary.

Rolling friction or rolling drag is the force resisting the motion when a body rolls on a surface. It is mainly caused by non-elastic effects, that is, not all the energy needed for deformation of the wheel, roadbed, etc... is recovered when the pressure is removed.

Another cause of rolling resistance lies in the slippage between the wheel and the surface, which dissipates energy.

From the given series of numbers, if half of the second highest number is subtracted from the third highest number, what will be the value ?

Now arranging the given numbers in descending order.
837 746 519 495 328

519 - 746/2 = 519 - 373 = 146.
