Answer : 2. "2.7 hrs"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 2.7 hrs Explanation: Let Speed of boat in still water = b Let Speed of still water = w Then we know that, Speed of Upstream = U = boat - water Speed of Downstream = D = boat + water Given, U + D = 82 b - w + b + w = 82 2b = 82 => b = 41 kmph From the given data, 41 - w = 105/3 = 35 w = 6 kmph Now, b + w = 126/t => 41 + 6 = 126/t => t = 126/47 = 2.68 hrs.

Answer : 4. "Indeterminate"
Explanation :
Answer: D) Indeterminate Explanation: Indeterminate are those,which mathematics can’t determine. Because we don’t actually know which one is the exact answer for this due to having lots of results for this. Explanation:: Let us think by this analogy that, 0 / 1 = 0 0 / 2 = 0 ………… ……….. we can say 0 / n = 0 from this we can write, 0/0 = 0 Again, another analogy,(from limiting concept of 1/0 = infinity) 1 / 0 = +∞ or -∞ 2 /0 = +∞ or -∞ ……… .……. we can say 0 / 0 = ∞ Again, another analogy, 1 / 1 = 1 2/2 = 1 .…….. ……….. we can say, 0/0 = 1 Now, you see it’s confusing. Every analog is mathematically correct then which one is the right answer for 0/0. Therefore Mathematics can’t determine this fact. So, 0/0 is indeterminate.
