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.

Answer : 2. "170 lit"
Explanation :

Answer: B) 170 lit Explanation: Given A alone can fill the tank of capacity 240 lit in 16 hrs. => A can fill in 1 hr = 240/16 = 15 lit => B alone can fill the tank of capacity 240 lit in 12 hrs. => B can fill in 1 hr = 240/12 = 20 lit Now, (A + B) in 1 hr = 15 + 20 = 35 lit But they are opened for 2 hrs => 2 x 35 = 70 lit rae filled Remaining water to be filled in tank of 240 lit = 240 - 70 = 170 lit.

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

Answer : 1. "0.5"
Explanation :

Answer: A) 0.5 Explanation: In mathematics, a geometric progression, also known as a geometric sequence, is a sequence of numbers where each term after the first is found by multiplying the previous one by a fixed, non-zero number called the common ratio.   Herein the given sequence, 4, 2, 1, 0.5, 0.25, 0.125,... Common Ratio r = 2/4 = 1/2 = 0.5/1 = 0.25/0.5 = 0.125/0.25 == 0.5.
