Answer: Option C. -> 60∘, 120∘, 60∘, 120∘
:
C
Let the measure of the angle be x and that of its adjacent angle be y.
x=2y...(i) (given)
x+y=180∘...(ii)
(sum of adjacent angles of a parallelogram is 180∘)
On substituting (i) in (ii), we get
2y+y=180∘
⇒y=60∘
Since x=2y,x=120∘.
We know thatopposite angles of parallelogram are equal.
⇒ Measure of the angles are60∘, 120∘, 60∘ and 120∘.

Divide the given equations by uv,
8v−3u=5uv⇒8u−3v=5...(1)
6v−5u=−2uv⇒6u−5v=−2...(2)
Assume 1u=x and 1v=y

Answer: Option A. -> 4 km/hr
:
A
Let's assume that the speed of the boat in still water is x km/hr and speed of the stream is y km/hr.
So, the speed of the boat in upstream will be (x-y) km/hr.
Similarly, the speed of the boat downstream will be (x+y) km/hr.
We know time=(distancespeed).
Using the above formula we can form the equations in two variables.
Taking the first case,
30x - y+44x + y=14.
Taking the second case,
60x - y+55x + y=25.
Now, we have the equations in two variables but the equations are not linear.
So, we will assume 1x - y=u and 1x + y=v.
So on substituting u and v in the above two equations, we get
30u+44v=14 ...(1)
60u+55v=25 ...(2)
We can solve the above two equations using the elimination method.
60u+88v=28 ...(3)
(by multiplyingequation (1) by 2)
On subtracting equation (2) from (3),we get v=111
On substituting v in equation (2)we get u=13
Now as we have assumed
1x - y=u and 1x + y=v
On substituting the values of u and v,
we get a pair of linear equations in x and y
x - y=3...(4)
x + y=11...(5)
On adding (5) from (4), we have
2x=14
x=7
On subsituting the value of x in x−y=3,weget y = 4.
So, the speed of the boat in still water is 7 km/hr and the speed of the stream is 4 km/hr.
