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
