Hint: Assume that the speed of the stream is x and the speed of the boat in still water is x. From the statement of the question form two equations in two variables x and y. This system is reducible to linear equations in two variables. Reduce the system to a system of linear equations in two variables by proper substitutions. Solve the system of equations using any one of the methods like Substitution method, elimination method, graphical method or using matrices. Hence find the value of x satisfying both the equation. The value of x will be the speed of the stream.
Complete step-by-step answer:
Let the speed of the stream be x, and the speed of the boat in still water be y.
We have the speed of the boat upstream = y-x.
Speed of the boat downstream = y+ x.
Now since it takes 14 hours to reach a place at a distance of 48 km and come back, we have the sum of the times taken to reach the place downstream and time taken to return back upstream is equal to 14.
Now, we know that time =Distance speed
Using, we get
Time taken to reach the place =48y+x and the time taken to return back =48y−x.
Hence, we have
48y+x+48y−x=14
Dividing both sides by 2, we get
24y+x+24y−x=7 —–(i)
Also, the time taken to cover 4km downstream is equal to the time taken to cover 3km upstream.
Hence, we have 4y+x=3y−x
Transposing the term on RHS to LHS, we get
4y+x−3y−x=0 ——– (ii)
Put 1y+x=t and 1y−x=u, we have
24t+24u=7 ——-(iii)4t−3u=0 ——–(iv)
Multiplying equation (iv) by 6 and subtracting from equation (iii), we get
24t−24t+24u+18u=7⇒42u=7
Dividing both sides by 42, we get
u=742=16
Substituting the value of u in equation (iv), we get
4t−3(16)=0⇒4t−12=0
Adding 12 on both sides, we get
4t=12
Dividing both sides by 4, we get
t=18
Reverting to original variables, we have
1y+x=18 and 1y−x=16
Taking reciprocals on both sides in both equations, we have
y+ x=8 ——- (v)y−x=6 ——–(vi)
Adding equation (v) and equation (vi), we get
2y=14
Dividing both sides by 2, we get
y=7.
Substituting the value of y in equation (v), we get
7+x=8
Subtracting 7 from both sides we get
x = 8-7 =1
Hence the speed of the stream is 1 km/hr.

No loss no gain.

Actually
carrots=> $12
celery => $3

saying 20%alcohol in 15 litre solution.

It means (20/100)*15=3 litres

Now 5 litre of water is added not alcohol.

So it means only the volume of solution is increases by 5 not alcohol.

It means 15+5=20

Now % of alcohol is

(3/20)*100=15%.

Because it is not a square number

A Roman was born the first day of the 35th year before Christ means before the start of year 0, 35 years has been past and died the first day of the 35th year after Christ means 35th year is about to start at his death so only 34 years has been completed so total years = 69

Matches played: 60.
Matches won: 30% of 60 => (60*(30/100)) = 18 matches.
Iterative approach:
On adding 1 to matches played and matches won, on every iteration until the win percentage gets to 50. So
19 / 61 = 0.3114754098360656
20 / 62 = 0.3225806451612903
21 / 63 = 0.3333333333333333
22 / 64 = 0.34375
…
…
…
…
Similarly,
41 / 83 = 0.4939759036144578
42 / 84 = 0.5

So, after 60th match 24 more matches has to be played and won to get 50% average winning rate.

Petroleum

Initially (2*33 + 1*24)/(2+1) = 30p a gm
So, cost for 100g = 100*30 = 3000p

Later, (1*33 + 2*24)/(1+2) = 71/3 p a gm.
So, cost for 100g = 100*(71/3) = 2366.67p

He saves 3000 – 2366.67 = 633.33p

Concept of weighted average.
