Q:

If the boat goes 7 kms upstream in 42 min and speed of the stream is 3 kmph, then the speed of the boat in still water ?

A) 14 kmph B) 13 kmph
C) 12 kmph D) 11 kmph
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 13 kmph

Explanation:

Given that, upstream distance = 7 kms

Upstream speed = 7/42 x 60 = 10 kms

Speed of the stream = 3 kmph

Let speed in still water = M kmph, then

Upstream speed = M - 3 = 10

5 sin(x)+ 12 cos(x) + r is always greater than or equal to zero. What is the smallest value satisfied by 'r' ?

A) -13 B) 11
C) 13 D) -11
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 13

Explanation:

Given,

 5sinx + 12cosx ≥ -r 

13513sin x + 1213cos x  -rcosx) ≥ -r 

513= cosA => sinA =1213

 

=> 13(sinx cosA + sinA cosx) ≥ -r

 

=> 13(sin(x + A)) ≥ -r

 

we know that , -1 ≤ sin (angle) ≤ 1

 

=> 13sin (x + A) ≥ -13 rmin =13
