Quantity I: The speed of the stream is 3 km/hr. A boat goes 30 km oupstream and comes back again to the starting point in 175 min. Then sped of the boat in still water ( in km/hr): Quantity II: A man in a car travels a certain distance in 20 min. He observes that he corossed 8 bus stops. If distance between two bus stops are 1000m, then the speed at which the car is travelling (in km/hr)A. Quantity - I `gt` Quantity -IisB. Quantity `-I lt` Quantituy - IIC. Quantity `-Ige` Quantity - IID. Quantity `- I =` Quantity - II

Answer» Explanation :
Quantity - I
Let speed of the Boat = x
Speed of the stream = 3 km/hr
`(30)/(x-3)+(30)/(x+3)=175/60`
`(62x)/(x^(2)-9)=35/12`
`7x^(2)-144x-63=0`
`7x^(2)-147x+3x-63=0`
`thereforex=21`
Quantity - II
Bus stops = 8
Distance between bus stops = 1 km
Total distance `=1xx7=7` km
Let speed of car = x
Time = 20 min
`(7)/(20)xx(60)/(1)=21` km
Hence, Quantity - II = Quantity - I
