Answer : 1. "72 km"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 72 km Explanation: Rate of her upstream = 12/2.5 = 4.8 km/hr Then, ATQ Rate of downstream = 4.8 x 3 = 14.4 km/hr Hence, the distance she covers downstream in 5 hrs = 14.4 x 5 = 72 kms.

Answer : 1. "3 times"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 3 times Explanation: Let us assume A is the faster and B is slower, A takes 10s to finish a lap of 50 m, B takes 17s(approx) to finish a lap of 50 m.So at 11th sec A starts his 2nd lap by the time B will be in between so that is the first time they will meet each other, at 21st sec A starts his 3rd lap by the time B will be coming back to finish his 2nd lap. So that is the second time they meet in opposite. Then at 31st sec A will start his 4th lap by the time B would not even finish 2nd lap as he take 34(2*17) sec to finish 2 laps. So at 35th sec B will start his 3rd lap by the time A will be coming back to finish his 4th lap in the half way so they will meet 3rd time. At 41st sec A will start its fifth lap by the time B will be going to finish 3rd lap in same direction. At 50th second both will complete A's 5th lap and B's 3rd lap. So they will start next lap(A's 6th and B's 4th) from the same point in same direction. And A will finish the race after completing 300m(6*50) total distance and then they wont meet opposite to each other. So totally they met 3 times in opposite direction.
Q: If the rate increases by 2%, the simple interest received on a sum of money increases by Rs. 108. If the time period is increased by 2 years, the simple interest on the same sum increases by Rs.180. The sum is ? 2981 05b5cc767e4d2b4197774fe0b

Answer : 4. "Data is not sufficient"
Explanation :
Answer: D) Data is not sufficient Explanation: Let the sum be Rs. p, rate be R% p.a. and time be T years. Then, P×T×(R+2)100-P×T×R100=108 ⇒2PT= 10800 ...... (1) And, P×R×(T+2)100-P×R×T100=180 ⇒2PR = 18000 ......(2) Clearly, from (1) and (2), we cannot find the value of pSo, the data is not sufficient.

Answer : 4. "35"
Explanation :
Answer: D) 35 Explanation: Given S = 17 yrs A = 16 yrs B = 12 yrs Average = 17 + 16 + 12/3 = 15 yrs Given if Aslam added to them, their average increases by 5 => Average of 4 members = 20 Let the age of Aslam be 'x' Then, 17 + 16 + 12 + x /4 = 20 => x = 80 - 45 => x = 35. Hence, the age of Aslam is 35 yrs.
