    Let the distance from X to Y = x km Speed towards from X to Y = 40 kmph Time taken = (x/40) Returing spreed from Y to X = 40+(50% of 40) = 40+20 = 60 kmph Time taken in journey = (x/60) Average speed for whole journey = Total Distance/Total time Total Distance = 2x Total time = (x/40+x/60) Average sRead more

    Let the distance from X to Y = x km
    Speed towards from X to Y = 40 kmph
    Time taken = (x/40)

    Returing spreed from Y to X = 40+(50% of 40) = 40+20 = 60 kmph
    Time taken in journey = (x/60)

    Average speed for whole journey = Total Distance/Total time

    Total Distance = 2x

    Total time = (x/40+x/60)

    Average speed = 2x/(x/40+x/60) = 4800/100 = 48 kmph

    Volume of tank = 20 x 15 x 6 cubic metre = 20 x 15 x 6 x 1000 litre The water in the tank last for = (20 x 15 x 6 x 1000) divided by (150 x 4000) = 3 days.

    Volume of tank = 20 x 15 x 6 cubic metre
    = 20 x 15 x 6 x 1000 litre
    The water in the tank last for = (20 x 15 x 6 x 1000) divided by (150 x 4000)

    Navjot Beginner
    Added an answer on May 12, 2022 at 3:40 am

    Water drawn out of tank = Initial volume of tank - Final volume of the tank = {[15x6x10] - [15x6x(10-1)]} = {[15x6x10] - [15x6x9]} = 15x6x1 = 90 cubic metre = 90 x 1000 literes = 90000 litres

    Water drawn out of tank = Initial volume of tank – Final volume of the tank

    = {[15x6x10] – [15x6x(10-1)]}
    = {[15x6x10] – [15x6x9]}
    = 15x6x1
    = 90 cubic metre
    = 90 x 1000 literes
    = 90000 litres
