Question
A ferry takes 75 minutes to row to place B from another
place A along the stream. The distance between place A and place B is 37.5 km. If the speed of the ferry in still water is four times more than that of the stream, then how much distance will the ferry cover in 4.7 hours against the stream?Solution
Let the speed of the stream be 'M' km/h Speed of the ferry in still water = (4M + M) = 5M km/h Downstream speed = (5M + M) = 6M km/h Upstream speed = (5M – M) = 4M km/h Acc. to the question, 37.5 = 6M × (75/60) M = 5 km/h Upstream speed = 4M = 4 × 5 = 20 km/h Distance travelled = 4.7 × 20 = 94 km
A man travels 60 km at a speed of 30 km/h and then travels 90 km at a speed of 60 km/h. What is his average speed for the entire journey?
If sin A + cos A = 1, what is the value of tan A?
How many chairs must be sold for Rs. 25,600 to achieve a 25% profit, given that 50 chairs were originally purchased for the same amount?
A car travels a distance of 240 km in 4 hours. If it increases its speed by 20 km/h for the next 3 hours, how much distance will it cover in total?
If 'x' is a positive integer such that x + 1/x = 2, then find the value of (x3 + x2 − 2x – 6)/(4x4 + 2x2
Solve the equation:sin(x) + cos(x) = 2·sin(x + α). Then the value of α is:
