Answer : 1. "180 km"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 180 km Explanation: Speed in downstream = (14 + 4) km/hr = 18 km/hr; Speed in upstream = (14 – 4) km/hr = 10 km/hr. Let the distance between A and B be x km. Then, x/18 + (x/2)/10 = 19 ⇔ x/18 + x/20 = 19 ⇒ x = 180 km.

Answer : 1. "Thermosphere"
Explanation :
Answer: A) Thermosphere Explanation: In terms of the Earth's atmosphere, they occupy regions called the thermosphere and the exosphere. The layer through which a satellite orbits depends on the satellite's function and the kind of orbit it has. The thermosphere is a region of very high temperature that extends from the top of the mesosphere at around 85 kilometers (53 miles) up to 640 kilometers (400 miles) above the Earth's surface. It is called the thermosphere because temperatures can reach up to 1,500 degrees Celsius (2,732 degrees Fahrenheit). However, despite the high temperatures, the pressure is very low, so satellites don't suffer heat damage.

Answer : 4. "1.5 kmph"
Explanation :
Answer: D) 1.5 kmph Explanation: Speed of Boy is B = 4.5 kmph Let the speed of the stream is S = x kmph Then speed in Down Stream = 4.5 + x speed in Up Stream = 4.5 - x As the distance is same, => 4.5 + x = (4.5 - x)2 => 4.5 + x = 9 -2x 3x = 4.5 x = 1.5 kmph
