A wheel makes 1000 revolutions to cover a distance of 880 meters. Find the diameter of the wheel.
A. 32 cm
B. 24 cm
C. 35 cm
D. 28 cm

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Distance covered in 1 revolution = 880 / 1000 = 0.88 meters = 88 cm. Circumference = 2 * (22/7) * r = 88 cm => (44/7) * r = 88 => r = 14 cm. Diameter = 2r = 28 cm.

A crew row a boat 24 km upstream and 36 km downstream, taking 4 hours for each separate direction. Find the speed of the current stream.

C. 1.5 km/h
D. 2 km/h

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Upstream speed = 24 / 4 = 6 km/h. Downstream speed = 36 / 4 = 9 km/h. Current speed = (Downstream speed - Upstream speed) / 2 = (9 - 6) / 2 = 1.5 km/h.
