Option 2: zykxz
Option 3: zkxyk
Option 4: zxykx
Correct Answer: zyxkx
Solution : Given: xy_kx_zk_yzkxyz_ _
To fill the series we have to divide the series – xy_k / x_zk / _yzk / xyz_ / _ Let's check each option – First option: zyxkx; xyzk / xyzk / xyzk / xyzk /
Question : A boat moves downstream at the rate of 1 km in $7\frac{1}{2}$ minutes and upstream at the rate of 5 km an hour. What is the speed of the boat in the still water?
Option 1: $3\frac{1}{2}$ km/hr
Option 2: $6\frac{1}{2}$ km/hr
Option 3: $4$ km/hr
Option 4: $8$ km/hr
Correct Answer: $6\frac{1}{2}$ km/hr
Solution : Given: Downstream Speed = 1 km in $7\frac{1}{2}$ minutes = $\frac{1}{\frac{15}{2×60}}$ = 8 km/hr Upstream Speed = 5 km/hr Speed of boat in still water = $\frac{\text{(Downstream Speed + Upstream Speed)}}{2}$ = $\frac{8+5}{2}$ = $6\frac{1}{2}$ km/hr Hence, the correct answer is $6\frac{1}{2}$ km/hr.
