Let speed of stream be v mph
Then,
36/(10-v) = 1.5hr + 36/(10+v)
On solving, we get speed of stream as v = 2mph.

Had is correct ! Anil went in right direction but ended up
with wrong answers
Soln: B lied ( see anil’s comment ) which implies B has not
stolen mule. So B could steal camel or sheep.
1) Lets assume B stole camel.
In that case, A lies ( refer – A says “B had stolen sheep”
), which implies A had stolen sheep ( becoz a lier cant
steal mule ). So A->sheep B->camel C->mule. But this cant
happen because C cant lie ( refer – C says ” B had stolen
mule” ).
2) Lets assume B stole sheep.
In that case, A is true ( refer – A says “B had stolen
sheep” ), which implies A had stolen mule. So A->Mule
B->Sheep C->camel. Here C lies ( refer – C says ” B had
stolen mule” )
SO ANS: answer A- mule, B-sheep, C camel

Total number of pairs is NC2^{N}C_2NC2​. Number of pairs standing next to each other = N. Therefore, number of pairs in question = NC2^{N}C_2NC2​ – N = 28/2 = 14. If N = 7,
7C2​ – 7 = 21 – 7 = 14….
N =7

Speed = (45×518)m/sec=252m/sec

Total distance covered = (360+140) m = 500 m.

∴Required time= 500×225sec = 40 sec.

let first digit be ‘X’
then 5th digit is ‘3X’
let 2nd digit be ‘Y’
then 3rd digit is ‘Y-3’
and 4th digit is ‘Y+4’
then the no is ‘(X)(Y)(Y-3)(Y+4)(3X)’
from the above we can say 3X<=9 so X<=3 and any of the digit in the number is <=9 and also given that 3 pairs sum is 11... so make trial and error.. if X=1...any of the no is 10 which is wrong trial.... if X=2...then let Y+4=9 ==> Y=5
then no is 25296
first pair 2+9=11
second pair 2+9=11
third pair 5+6=11
now the answer is 25296
