Q:

A son and father goes for boating in river upstream . After rowing for 1 mile son notices the hat of his father falling in the river. After 5 min he tells his father that his hat has fallen. So they turn round and are able to pick the hat at the point from where they began boating after 5min. Find the speed of river  in miles/hours ?

A) 4 mile/hr B) 6 mile/hr
C) 2 mile/hr D) 5 mile/hr
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 6 mile/hr

Explanation:

Let the speed of river and boat be 'r' m/min and 'b' m/min.
so relative speed in upstream (b-r)m/min and in downstream (b+r)m/min.
Now in upstream distnce covered in 5 min is 5(b-r)miles
so total distnce covered => 1 + 5(b-r)miles in upstream
In downstream distance covered in 5min is 5(b+r)miles
Now 1 + 5(b-r) = 5(b+r)
1+5b-5r = 5b+5r
1 = 10r
r = 1/10 mile/min => 6 mile/hr.

A) I B) M
C) P D) L
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) L

Explanation:

Here the letters follow the rule (AxZ)+(A+Z)

The number corresponding to the letters are used in the rule

A=1, Z=26 => 26x1 + 1 + 26 = 26+27 = 53 =  053

(LxP)+(L+P) = (12 x16) + 12 + 16 = 192+28 = 220

Similarly (11x12) + 11 + 12 => 132 + 23 = 155

In 3rd week 16% increases, so
=> X x (120/100) x (116/100)
In 4th week 20% decrease, so
