Have fun with Maths

speed=distance/time so, time=distance/speed For upstream : t+1=24/18-s (Where s is speed of stream) For downstream : t=24/18+s => (24/18-s)-1=(24/18+s) =>(24/18-s)-(24/18+s)=1 =>s^2+48s-324=0 =>(s+54)(s-6)=0 so, speed of stream=6km/hr.

let speed of boat is u km/hr and stream speed is v km/hr upstream speed= u-v km/hr downstream speed =u+v km/hr distance d=24 km aaplying given condition d/u-v -d/u+v=1 v^2+48v-324=0 solving above quadratic equn.... v=6,-54 since speed of stream can not be negative hence speed of stream v=6...

Let the speed of stream by x kmph. then speed of boat in water upstream = (18-x) kmph Speed of boat in water downstream = (18+x) kmph Now time = Distance / speed Time taken to go upstream - time taken to go downstream = 1 hr 24/(18-x) - 24/(18+x) = 1 24( 18+x-18+x ) = (18^2 - x2) 48x = 324...

Let the speed of stream by x kmph. then speed of boat in water upstream = (18-x) kmph Speed of boat in water downstream = (18+x) kmph Now time = Distance / speed Time taken to go upstream - time taken to go downstream = 1 hr 24/(18-x) - 24/(18+x) = 1 24( 18+x-18+x ) = (18^2 - x2) 48x = 324 - x2 x2+48x-324 = 0 x2+54x-6x-324 = 0 x(x+54)-6(x+54) = 0 (x-6)(x+54) = 0 therefore, speed of stream (x) = 6kmph read less

The math engine had a meltdown and gave -54 km/h, which means the river is flowing backward at supersonic speed! 😂 Clearly, that’s wrong because even rivers don’t audition for Fast & Furious. Let’s fix it manually: Equation: Solve properly → x = 6 km/h. Speed of the stream...

The math engine had a meltdown and gave -54 km/h, which means the river is flowing backward at supersonic speed! 😂 Clearly, that’s wrong because even rivers don’t audition for Fast & Furious. Let’s fix it manually: Equation: [ \frac{24}{18 - x} = \frac{24}{18 + x} + 1 ] Solve properly → x = 6 km/h. Speed of the stream = 6 km/h So the river is cruising like a lazy tourist, not a Formula 1 car. read less

Cards, marked with numbers 5 to 50, are placed in a box and mixed throughly. A card is drawn from teh box at random. Find the probability that the number on the taken out card is: (i) a prime number less than 10. (ii) a number which is a perfect square." "
The sample size is 46 (i) The prime numbers less than 10 are 5 and 7. so the probability is 2/46 or 1/23. (ii) The perfect squares are 9,16,25, 36 and 49-five in all so the probability is 5/46
