1. A man can row a certain distance downstream in 2 hours while he

takes 3 hours to come back. If the speed of the stream be 5 km/hr
then the speed of the man in still water is:
A. 25 km / hr
B. 20 km / hr
C. 21 km / hr
D. 23 km / hr
E. 24 km / hr
Answer : A. 25 km / hr
Explanation :
Let the speed of the man in still water be x km/hr.
Given that, speed of the stream = 5 km/hr.
Therefore, speed in downstream = ( x + 5 ) km/hr
And, speed in upstream = ( x 5 ) km/hr
Distance covered in downstream in 2 hours = ( x + 5 ) * 2 km
Distance covered in upstream in 3 hours = ( x 5 ) * 3 km
Therefore, ( x + 5 ) * 2= ( x 5 ) * 3
2x + 10 = 3x 15
10 + 15 = 3x 2x
x = 25 km / hr

2. Population of a city increases by 10% in 1st year, it increases by

20% in next year. If initial population in 10,000. Calculate the
Population after two years.
A. 11000
B. 13500
C. 12000
D. 13200
E. 12500
Answer : D. 13200
Explanation :
Initial Population = 10000
Population after one year = 10000 + (( 10 / 100 ) * 10000 )
= 10000 + 1000
= 11000
Population after 2nd Year = 11000 + (( 20 / 100 ) * 11000 )
= 11000 + ( 20 * 110 )
= 11000 + 2200
= 13200
