Answer : 2. "4 kmph"
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 =Total distanceTotal speed = 2kk3 + k6 = 2k x 186k + 3k = 4 kmph    Therefore, the average speed of the whole journey = 4kmph.

Answer : 3. "12th element"
Explanation :

Answer: C) 12th element Explanation: If we consider the third term to be ‘x”The 15th term will be (x + 12d)6th term will be (x + 3d)11th term will be (x + 8d) and 13th term will be (x + 10d).Thus, as per the given condition, 2x + 12d = 3x + 21d.Or x + 9d = 0.x + 9d will be the 12th term. Thus, 12th term of the A.P will be zero.
