Solving (i) and (ii), we have x = 40 km/h and y = 30 km/h.

(d) Let the speed of the stream be x km/h.
Then, upstream speed = (15 x) km/h.
and downstream speed = (15 + x) km/h.

(d) To constract a triangle, it is necessary that the sum of

any two sides is greater than the third side. Checking

Let r be the radius of inner circle(garden).

circumference of Road = 2 p R
circumference of the garden = 2p r
Given : 2 p R 2 p r = 44 m
2p (R r) = 44 R r = 7m
Hence, the width of the Road = R r = 7m
(d) PS, QT and RU are perpendiculars drawn from the

From (i) and (ii), y = 70, x = 20
Angles of the triangles are 20, 70, 90. Hence the
triangle is a right angled.
