Answer : 2. "210"
Explanation :

Answer: B) 210 Explanation: Let the required number be 'p' We know, sum of angles in a triangle are 180 deg According to given data, p - p/7 = 180 7p - p = 180 x 7 => 6p = 1260 => p = 1260/6 = 210

Answer : 3. "(p + 4) times"
Explanation :

Answer: C) (p + 4) times Explanation: Let the two no's be a and b;Given product of the no's is p = ab;If the each nos is increased by 2 then the new product will be (a+2)(b+2) = ab + 2a + 2b + 4= ab + 2(a+b) + 4= p + 2(a+b) + 4Hence the new product is (p+4) times greater than twice the sum of the two original numbers.

Answer : 4. "Any one pair of A and B, B and C or C and A is sufficient"
Explanation :

Answer: D) Any one pair of A and B, B and C or C and A is sufficient Explanation: Let distance between A & B = d kmLet speed in still water = x kmphLet speed of current = y kmph from the given data,d/x = 2 From A) we get dFrom B) we get d/x+yFrom C) we get y   So, Any one pair of A and B, B and C or C and A is sufficient to give the answer i.e, the speed of upstream.
