As the distance travelled is constant, the time taken is inversely proportional to speed.

Let 'u' be the speed of the current and 'v' be the speed of the boat.

Speed of the boat downstream = v + u & upstream = v - u

=> v+u/v-u = 30/20 => v/u = 5 => v = 5u

=> v + u = 6u = 10/20/60 miles/hr

=> 6u = 30 m/h

=> u = 5 m/h

Given (3 Men + 4 Women + 6 Children) -----> 9 days

But W = 2M and C = M/2

Now, convert Men and Children into Women by

$$\begin{gathered} 3W2 + 4W + 6W4 \\ => 32 + 4 + 32 = 7 Women \end{gathered}$$ 

Therefore, 7 women alone can complete this work in 9 days.

The given statement implies that 64 Squares on Carrom Board.

Let Priyatham's age = x

Then, Vishal's age = 2x; Raghu's age = x/2; Veeru's age = 4x ; Karthik's age = x/4

So, the descending order of ages is :

Veeru > Vishal > Priyatham > Raghu > Karthik

Therefore,  Karthik is the youngest.

Probability of occurrence of an event, 

P(E) = Number of favorable outcomes/Numeber of possible outcomes = n(E)/n(S)

⇒ Probability of getting head in one coin = ½, 

⇒ Probability of not getting head in one coin = 1- ½ = ½, 

Hence, 

All the 11 tosses are independent of each other.

∴ Required probability of getting only 2 times heads =122×129=1211

Except pineapple remaining all three are types of apples.

Pineapple is what kind of apple isn't an apple.

The stability of the ions is determined by the energy of the lone pairs. Carbon has the least effective nuclear charge (Zeff) and so the lone pair on the CH3− ion has the highest energy, making it the least stable ion and so the strongest base. The Zeff increases as we move across the period until we get to fluorine which has the greatest Zeff and so its lone pairs have the lowest energy, making F− the least basic ion.

In order of decreasing basicity they are ranked LiCH3 > LiNH2 > LiOH > LiF. We are dealing with the ions F−, OH−, NH2− and CH3− and so the factor which influences their basicity is the stability of the ion compared to its conjugate acid.

Sound intensity is measured in decibels(db). Sound pollution above 120 db becomes more hazardous and have adverse affects on human life.
