Sum of all numbers in series= 870 (I.e 312+162+132+142+122)
Average=sum of numbers/count of numbers
Average= 870/5
= 174

consider the tank capacity as 90 litres.
to fill the tank in 3 hrs first pipe must flow at a rate of 30 litres/hr
2nd pipe has to flow at a rate of 45 litres/hr
if two pipes are opened at a time the flow rate will become 75 litres/hr
90/75= 6/5 = 1.2= (i.e) 1hr and 12 minutes 1 1/5 hr

% error= (new no-actual no)/actual no *100
% error= [(x/7)-7x]/7x * 100
% error= 48x/49x * 100
% error= 0.9795*100=97.95

Speed of Stream = 1/2 (Downstream Speed – Upstream Speed)
=1/2(40-14)
=1/2(26)
=13km/h
method 2:
for down stream case :speed=Boat speed + Stream speed
for up stream case :speed=Boat speed – Stream speed

therefore, Bs + Ss =40
Bs – Ss =14
(-) (-) (-)
———————
2Ss=26
Ss=26/2 = 13Km/h
Stream speed= 13Km/hr

444km
Since the speed diff is 5km/h
It takes 12 hrs to cover 60 extra kms
Therefore in 12 hrs the total dist covered is
Relative speed×time=(21+16)×12=444 kms

Let the journey distance be : x miles
Now x/40+x/30=8 (time=distance/speed)
Solving this for x we get. x=960/7
therefore, x=137(approx)
(137.14 exact)

1+0^3=1
1+1^3=2
2+2^3=10
10+3^3=37
37+4^3=101
101+5^3=226
1,2,10,37,101,226……..

Ans : – 215
Explanation :-
1^3 = 1-1=0
2^3 = 8-1 = 7
3^3 = 27-1=26
4^3 = 64 – 1 = 63
5^3 = 125-1 = 124
Hence, Ans is
6^3 = 216-1=215
