Question : The upstream speed of a boat is 8 km/h and the downstream is 15 km/h. What is the speed of the boat in still water and the speed of the stream (in km/h), respectively?

Option 1: 11 and 3

Option 2: 3 and 11

Option 3: 11.5 and 3.5

Option 4: 3.5 and 11.5

Team Careers360 17th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 11.5 and 3.5


Solution : Speed of downstream $(a)$ = 15 km/hr
Speed of upstream $(b)$= 8km/hr
Speed of the boat in still water = $\frac{a + b}{2}$
= $\frac{15+8}{2}$
= 11.5 km/hr
Speed of the stream = $\frac{a-b}{2}$
= $\frac{15-8}{2}$
= 3.5 km/hr
Hence, the correct answer

Question : What is the average of the first 29 even numbers?

Option 1: 30

Option 2: 31

Option 3: 32

Option 4: 33

Team Careers360 23rd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 30


Solution : Sum of first $n$ terms of an arithmetic progression = $\frac{n}{2}(2×\text{first term} +(n-1)× \text{common difference})$
Here, the first 29 even numbers form an AP of 29 terms with a common difference of 2 and the first term being 2.
So, the sum = $\frac{29}{2}(2×2 +(29-1)×
