Answer : 3. "12 kmph"
Explanation :
Answer: C) 12 kmph Explanation: The distance is constant in this case. Let the time taken for travel with a speed of 10 kmph be 't'. Now the speed of 15 kmph is 3/2 times the speed of 10 kmph. Therefore, time taken with the speed of 15 kmph will be 2t/3 (speed is inversely proportional to time) Extra time taken = t - 2t/3 = t/3 => 1pm - 11am = 2hrs => t/3 = 2h => t = 6 hrs. Now, Distance = speed x time = 10 x 6 = 60 kms Time he takes to reach at noon = 6 - 1 = 5 hrs Now, Speed = 60/5 = 12 kmph.

Answer : 2. "5 m/h"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 5 m/h Explanation: As the distance travelled is constant, the time taken is inversely proportional to speed. Let 'u' be the speed of the current and 'v' be the speed of the boat. Speed of the boat downstream = v + u & upstream = v - u => v+u/v-u = 30/20 => v/u = 5 => v = 5u => v + u = 6u = 10/20/60 miles/hr => 6u = 30 m/h => u = 5 m/h

Answer : 3. "1/6"
Explanation :
Answer: C) 1/6 Explanation: Given X can do in 10 days => 1 day work of X = 1/10 Y can do in 15 days => 1 day work of Y = 1/15 1day work of (X + Y) = 1/10 + 1/15 = 1/6 Given they are hired for 5 days => 5 days work of (X + Y) = 5 x 1/6 = 5/6 Therefore, Unfinished work = 1 - 5/6 = 1/6
