Ishita is rowing a boat. She takes 24 hours to row 72 km against the stream and she takes 9 hours to return to the starting point in the direction of the stream. The speed of the boat in still water is :
- A \(\frac{11}{2} km / hr\)
- B \(\frac{5}{2} km / hr\)
- C \(\frac{11}{4} km / hr\)
- D \(\frac{5}{4} km / hr\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \(\frac{11}{2} km / hr\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(v_{against} = \frac{72}{24} = 3 \text{ km/hr}\) \(v_{with} = \frac{72}{9} = 8 \text{ km/hr}\) \(2v_{boat} = v_{against} + v_{with} = 3 + 8 = 11 \text{ km/hr}\) \(v_{boat} = \frac{11}{2} \text{ km/hr}\)

- Read the following paragraph carefully and answer the given questions.
In the year 1963 the two enzymes responsible for restricting the growth of bacteriophage in E. coli were isolated. The first restriction endonuclease - Hind II, whose functioning depended on a specific DNA nucleotide sequence was characterized five years later. It was found that Hind II always cut DNA molecules at a particular point by recognizing a specific sequence of six base pairs. This specific base sequence is known as the recognition sequence for Hind II. Besides Hind II, today we know more than 900 restriction enzymes that have been isolated from over 230 strains of bacteria, each of which recognize different recognition sequences.
When DNA from different sources is cut by the same restriction enzymes, the resultant DNA fragments have the :CUET 2023 Easy - A copper wire of area of cross-section \( 2 \times 10^{-6} \, \text{m}^2 \) and electron density \( 10^{28} \, \text{m}^{-3} \) carries a current of 1.6 A.
