the time taken by a man to row his boat upstream is twice the time taken by him to row the same distance downstream . if the speed of the boat in still water is 18 kmph , find the speed of the stream ?
"the ratio of the times taken is 2 : 1 . the ratio of the speed of the boat in still water to the speed of the stream = ( 2 + 1 ) / ( 2 - 1 ) = 3 / 1 = 3 : 1 speed of the stream = 18 / 3 = 6 kmph . answer : d"

a mathematics teacher tabulated the marks secured by 35 students of 8 th class . the average of their marks was 62 . if the marks secured by reema was written as 50 instead of 85 then find the correct average marks up to two decimal places .
"total marks = 35 x 62 = 2170 corrected total marks = 2170 - 50 + 85 = 2205 correct average = 2205 / 35 = 63 answer : a"
a = 35 * 62 b = 85 - 50 c = a - b d = c / 35

on the xy - coordinate plane , point a lies on the y - axis and point b lies on the x - axis . points a , b , and c form a right triangle with a 90 - degree angle at point c and the triangle has an area of 20 . if ac is parallel to the x - axis , and bc is parallel to the y - axis , which of the following could be the coordinates of point c ?
the area of the triangle formed will be : 1 / 2 * base * height = 1 / 2 * | ( x - coordinate of point c ) | * | ( y - coordinate of point c ) | = 20 thus | product of coordinates of point c | = 40 the answer is d .

63 men working 8 hours per day dig 30 m deep . how many extra men should be put to dig to a depth of 50 m working 6 hours per day ?
"( 63 * 8 ) / 30 = ( x * 6 ) / 50 = > x = 140 140 – 63 = 77 answer : b"
a = 63 * 8 b = a / 30 c = b * 50 d = c / 6 e = d - 63
