Answer: C) 35 days Explanation: Distance d = 1200kmlet S be the speed he walks 15 hours a day(i.e 24 - 9)so totally he walks for 70 x 15 = 1050hrs. S = 1200/1050 => 120/105 = 24/21 => 8/7kmph given 1 1/2 of previous speedso 3/2 * 8/7= 24/14 = 12/7 New speed = 12/7kmph Now he rests 10 hrs a day that means he walks 14 hrs a day. time = 840 x 7 /12 => 490 hrs=> 490/14 = 35 days So he will take 35 days to cover 840 km.

Answer: B) Rs. 16.30 Explanation: C.P. of 50 kg wheat = (30 * 11.50 + 20 * 14.25) = Rs. 630. S.P. of 50 kg wheat = 130% of Rs. 630 = 130/100 * 630 = Rs. 819. S.P. per kg = 819/50 = Rs. 16.38 = 16.30.

Answer: A) 2 days Explanation: work done=total number of person x number of days;half of work done = 140 x 66;For half of remaining work 25 extra men are added.Therefore, total men for half work remaining = 140 + 25 = 165;Let 2nd half work will be completed in K days;140 x 66 = 165 x KK = 122;Hence, extra days => 122-120 = 2days.

Answer: B) 4 kmph Explanation: Let the distance in one direction = k kms Speed in still water = 4.5 kmph Speed of river = 1.5 Hence, speed in upstream = 4.5 - 1.5 = 3 kmph Speed in downstream = 4.5 + 1.5 = 6 kmph Time taken by Rajesh to row upwards = k/3 hrs Time taken by Rajesh to row downwards = k/6 hrs Now, required Average speed =Total distanceTotal speed = 2kk3 + k6 = 2k x 186k + 3k = 4 kmph    Therefore, the average speed of the whole journey = 4kmph.
