She found that for covering the distance of 15 km the boat took 1 hour more for upstream than downstream.
(i) Let speed of the current be x km/hr. What will be the speed of the motorboat in upstream ? What is the
relation between speed distance and time?
(ii) Write the correct quadratic equation for the speed of the current ?
(iii) What is the speed of current ? How much time boat took in downstream ?

37. Height of a Climber : Himalayan Trekking Club has just hiked to the south rim of a large canyon, when they spot a
climber attempting to scale the taller northern face. Knowing the distance between the sheer walls of the northern
and southern faces of the canyon is approximately 150 meter, they attempt to compute the distance remaining for
the climbers to reach the top of the northern rim.

Using a homemade transit, they sight an angle of depression of 60c to the bottom of the north face, and angles of
elevation of 30c and 45c to the climbers and top of the northern rim respectively.
(i) How high is the southern rim of the canyon?
(ii) How high is the northern rim?
(iii) How much farther until the climber reaches the top?

charge) of 50 scooters of the same model. Details of which are given in the following table.

Mileage (km/charge) 100-120 120-140 140-160 160-180

Number of scooters 7 12 18 13

Based on the above information, answer the following questions.

(i) What is the average mileage.
(ii) What is the modal value of mileage ?
(iii) What is the median value of mileage ?
(iv) What about the mileage can be claimed by the manufacturer for his scooter ?
