Explanation :

Answer: C) 31.4208 and 62.8416 Explanation: Birds speeds in mtrs/sec is 'x' and '2x' .While flying from Engine to end, relative speed = (x+10) m/secfrom end to engine, flying speed = (2x - 10) mtr/secso 1000/(x+10) + 1000/(2x-10) = 187.5 secssolving it, we getso x = 8.728 m/sec and 2x= 17.456 m/sec x = 31.4208 km/hr and 2x = 62.8416 km/hr.

Answer : 2. "29.39 cm"
Explanation :

Answer: B) 29.39 cm Explanation: Volume of water flowing through 1 pipe of diameter x = Volume discharged by 6 pipes of diameter 12 cms.   As speed is same, area of cross sections should be same.    Area of bigger pipe of diameter x = Total area of 6 smaller pipes of diameter 12  i.e πR2 = 6πR12    Here R = R and R1 = 12/2 = 6    ⇒R2 = 6×6×6    R = 14.696    => D = X = 14.696 * 2 = 29.3938 cm.
