The sum of three consecutive multiples of $‘5’$ is $45.$ Which is the smallest of the three multiples.
AnswerLet $5x$ be the smallest multiple of $5.$
Then, the three consecutive multiples shall be $5x, 5x + 5$ and $5x + 10$
According to the question,
$5x + 5x + 5 + 5x + 10 = 45$
$\therefore 5x + 5x + 5x = 45 - 15$
$\therefore 15x = 30$
$\therefore x = 2$
$\therefore$ The Smallest multiple $= 5x = 5 × 2 = 10$

A streamer goes downstream and covers the distance between two ports in $5$ hours, while it covers the same distance upstream in $6$ hours. If the speed of the stream is $1\ km/h,$ find the speed of the streamer in still water and the distance between two ports.
- A
$18\ km/ hr$
- ✓
$60\ km/ hr$
- C
$15\ km/ hr$
- D
$24\ km/ hr$
AnswerCorrect option: B. $60\ km/ hr$
Given,
Speed of the stream in still water $= 1\ km/ hr$
Let speed of the streamer $= x \ km/ hr$
Speed downstream $= (x + 1)\ km/ hr$
Speed upstream $= (x - 1)\ km/ hr$
According to the given condition,
$(x + 1) × 5 = (x - 1) × 6$
$5x + 5 = 6x - 6$
$x = 11$
Hence, Speed of streamer in still water is $11\ km/ hr$ and
Distance between two ports $= (11 + 1) × 5 = 60\ km/ hr.$

The ratio of two numbers is $3 : 8$ and their difference is $115.$ The largest number is:
Answer Let the smaller number $= x$ and the greater number $= y.$
Given that their ratio is $3 : 8.$
$yx = 83 $
$⇒ x = 83y (i)$
The given difference $= 115.$
Then,$ y - x = 115$
$⇒ x = y - 115 (ii)$
Comparing $(i)$ and $(ii),$
$83y = y - 115$
$⇒ 5y = 920$
$⇒ y = 184$
So, the greater number is $184.$
