Answer : 3. "66.6 mts"
Explanation :
Answer: C) 66.6 mts Explanation: From above diagramAC represents the hill and DE represents the tower Given that AC = 100 m angleXAD = angleADB = 30° (∵ AX || BD ) angleXAE = angleAEC = 60° (∵ AX || CE) Let DE = h Then, BC = DE = h, AB = (100-h) (∵ AC=100 and BC = h), BD = CE tan 60°=AC/CE => √3 = 100/CE =>CE = 100/√3 ----- (1) tan 30° = AB/BD => 1/√3 = 100−h/BD => BD = 100−h(√3)∵ BD = CE and Substitute the value of CE from equation 1 100/√3 = 100−h(√3) => h = 66.66 mts The height of the tower = 66.66 mts.

Answer : 2. "always less than either of the original fractions"
Explanation :
Answer: B) always less than either of the original fractions Explanation: We can easily Answer this by taking some values. The question states that the two fractions, each have values between 0 and 1.Let us say one of the fraction is 1/2 and the other fraction is 1/3 .The product of the two fractions is 1/2 x 1/3 = 1/6 . is lesser than both 1/2 and 1/3 .So, the correct answer is that the product is always less than either of the original fractions.

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
Q: A train sets off at 3 p.m. at the speed of 70 kmph. Another train starts at 4:30 p.m. in the same direction at the rate of 85 kmph. At what time the trains will meet ? 2823 05b5cc6e7e4d2b4197774ed79

Answer : 3. "11:30 pm"
Explanation :
Answer: C) 11:30 pm Explanation: Distance = 70 x 1 ½ = 105 km Relative Speed = 85 – 70 = 15 Time = 105/15 = 7 hrs 4:30 + 7 hrs = 11.30 p.m.
Q: Length of a train is 300 metre. It’s speed is 72 km/hour. In how many seconds it can cross a pole? 2815 05d15fd8e44a3a75f13296b87

Answer : 4. "203"
Explanation :
Answer: D) 203 Explanation: The given number series is 125, 138, 164, ?, 255 125 125 + 13x1 = 138 138 + 13x2 = 164 164 + 13x3 = 203 203 + 13x4 = 255 Hence, the missing number in the series is 203.
