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)×

Question : If $\sin A=\frac{1}{2}$, then the value of $(\tan A+\cos A)$ is:

Option 1: $\frac{2}{3 \sqrt{3}}$

Option 2: $\frac{3}{2 \sqrt{3}}$

Option 3: $\frac{5}{2 \sqrt{3}}$

Option 4: $\frac{5}{3 \sqrt{3}}$

Team Careers360 17th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{5}{2 \sqrt{3}}$


Solution : Given: $\sin A=\frac{1}{2}$
⇒ $\sin A=\sin 30^\circ$
⇒ $ A= 30^\circ$
$\therefore (\tan A+\cos A)$
= $(\tan 30^\circ+\cos 30^\circ)$
= $\frac{1}{\sqrt3}+\frac{\sqrt3}{2}$
= $\frac{2+3}{2\sqrt3}$
= $\frac{5}{2\sqrt3}$
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{5}{2\sqrt3}$.
