Answer : 2. "1"
Explanation :

Answer: B) 1 Explanation: Let x be the number. Given: x = 296n + 75 [where n is quotient]   --> (378n) +( 372 + 1)   -->37(8n + 2) + 1 Hence, when x divided by 37, 1 is the remainder.

Answer : 1. "5 kmph"
Explanation :

Answer: A) 5 kmph Explanation: Speed of the boat downstream  s=a/t= 60/3 = 20 kmph Speed of the boat upstream s= d/t = 30/3= 10 kmph   Therefore,  The speed of the stream = speed of downstream - speed of upstream2=5 kmph

Answer : 2. "5/36"
Explanation :

Answer: B) 5/36 Explanation: The two events mentioned are independent. The first roll of the die is independent of the second roll. Therefore the probabilities can be directly multiplied. P(getting first 4) = 1/6 P(no second 6) = 5/6 Therefore P(getting first 4 and no second 6) = 1/6 x 5/6 = 5/36

Answer : 2. "2.7 hrs"
Explanation :

Answer: B) 2.7 hrs Explanation: Let Speed of boat in still water = b Let Speed of still water = w Then we know that, Speed of Upstream = U = boat - water Speed of Downstream = D = boat + water Given, U + D = 82 b - w + b + w = 82 2b = 82 => b = 41 kmph From the given data, 41 - w = 105/3 = 35 w = 6 kmph Now, b + w = 126/t => 41 + 6 = 126/t => t = 126/47  = 2.68 hrs.
