A man who can swim 48 meter/minute in still water swims 200 meter against the current and 200 meter with the current. If the difference between these two times is 10 minutes, then what is the speed of the current?एक व्यक्ति जो स्थिर जल में 48 मीटर/मिनट की गति से तैर सकता है, धारा के विरुद्ध 200 मीटर और धारा के साथ 200 मीटर तैरता है। यदि इन दोनों समयों का अंतर 10 मिनट है, तो धारा की गति क्या है?

Correct answer: D. 32 meter/minute32 मीटर/मिनट
Explanation
Let the current be c. Then 200/(48 − c) − 200/(48 + c) = 10 → 200(2c) = 10(48² − c²) → 400c = 23040 − 10c² → c² + 40c − 2304 = 0 → c = (−40 + 104)/2 = 32 m/min. Check: upstream 200/16 = 12.5 min, downstream 200/80 = 2.5 min, difference = 10 min.माना धारा की गति c है। तब 200/(48 − c) − 200/(48 + c) = 10 → 200(2c) = 10(48² − c²) → 400c = 23040 − 10c² → c² + 40c − 2304 = 0 → c = (−40 + 104)/2 = 32 मीटर/मिनट। जाँच: धारा के विरुद्ध 200/16 = 12.5 मिनट, धारा के साथ 200/80 = 2.5 मिनट, अंतर = 10 मिनट।More Mathematical Reasoning and Aptitude questions
