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 : 1. "20"
Explanation :

Answer: A) 20 Explanation: Given height of the conical tent = 3 m Diameter = 10 => Radius = D/2 = 10/2 = 5 m  Now, as the tent is in the conical form Volume of the conical tent = πr2h3  => (22 x 5 x 5 x 3) / (7 x 3)  = 22 x 25/7  = 78.54 cu.m  Given each person requires 3.92 cu.m of air  => Number of persons can be seated in the tent = 78.54/3.92 = 20.03 =~ 20

Answer : 1. "4 kmph"
Explanation :

Answer: A) 4 kmph Explanation: Let the speed of current = 'C' km/hr   Given the speed of boat in still water = 6 kmph   Let 'd' kms be the distance it covers.   According to the given data,   Boat takes thrice as much time in going the same distance against the current than going with the current   i.e, d8 - C = 3 × d8 + C   ⇒ 24 - 3C = 8 + C⇒ 4C = 16⇒ C = 4 kmph   Hence, the speed of the current C = 4 kmph.
