Answer : 3. "6 m/h"
Explanation :
Answer: C) 6 m/h Explanation: let, speed of Ali=X mph and Faizer=Y mph Now, relative speed when Ali is walking int the same direction with Faizer= (X-Y)mphhence, according to question, 27/(X-Y)=9 ; solving X-Y=3; --- (1) Now relative speed when walking in the opposite direction= (X+Y) mphhence, according to question, 27/(X+y)=3; solving X+Y=9; --- (2) solving 1 and 2 we get X=6 and Y=3, where X is the speed of Ali.

Answer : 2. "6 mile/hr"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 6 mile/hr Explanation: Let the speed of river and boat be 'r' m/min and 'b' m/min.so relative speed in upstream (b-r)m/min and in downstream (b+r)m/min.Now in upstream distnce covered in 5 min is 5(b-r)milesso total distnce covered => 1 + 5(b-r)miles in upstreamIn downstream distance covered in 5min is 5(b+r)miles Now 1 + 5(b-r) = 5(b+r)1+5b-5r = 5b+5r1 = 10rr = 1/10 mile/min => 6 mile/hr.
