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 : 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

Answer : 4. "50 cub.m/min"
Explanation :

Answer: D) 50 cub.m/min Explanation: Let filling capacity of the pump be 'F' m3/min Then, the filling capacity of the pump will be (F + 10) m3/min From the given data, 2400F - 2400F+10= 8⇒ 2400 F+10-FF(F+10) =8⇒ F2 + 10F - 3000 = 0⇒ F = 50 m3/min
