Last Answer : ANSWER: A Explanation: Downstream speed = 42/x km/hr Upstream speed = 24/x km/hr 112 / (42 / x) + 112 / (24 / x) = 44 112[x /42 + x / 24] = 44 112 / 3 [x / 14 + x / 8] = 44 11x / 56 = 44 * ... = 4 km/hr Speed of boat = 1/2 * (7 + 4) km/hr = 11 /2 speed of boat in still water = 5.5 km/hr

There is a bridge besides a river. Two friends Arun and varun started their journey from place L, moved to the garden located at another place M & then returned to place L. Arun moves by swimming at a speed of 30 km/hr while Varun sails on a boat at a speed of about 24km/hr. If the flow of water current is at the speed of 12km/hr, what will be the average speed of boat sailor? A) 36 B) 18 C) 24 D) 48

Arun moves by swimming at a speed of 30 ... 12km/hr, what will be the average speed of boat sailor? A) 36 B) 18 C) 24 D) 48 

Last Answer : ANSWER:B Explanation: As Arun swims both the ways at the speed of 30km/hr, the average speed of swimming is 30 km/hr Being a boat sailor, varun moves downstream at speed =24 +12=36km/hr and upstream at speed = 24-12= ... Upstream Speed])] = (36*12)/0.5(36+12) km/hr = 432/24 km/hr = 18 km/hr

Location of soundings by range and one angle is done by the surveyor (A) On the shore (B) On the boat (C) On the shore or on the boat (D) None of the above

Description : Location of soundings by range and one angle is done by the surveyor (A) On the shore (B) On the boat (C) On the shore or on the boat (D) None of the above

Last Answer : (C) On the shore or on the boat

The horizontal angles from the boat between A and B and B and C, the stations on the shore are 1 2. The distances AB = L1 and BC = L2 2 at C between the boat and station B between A and C at B). (A) 1 2) = (L2 1/L1 2) = K (B) t 2 = 360° - 1 2 (C) 2 = sin /(K + ) (D) All the above
