12. Priyanka was going in a boat suddenly her cap fell in to the water and started moving away from her
backwards with the stream. The boat kept on moving 12 more minutes with stream when Priyanka realised
that her cap fell in to the water. She took a U turn and row against the stream to catch the her cap and the
point where she caught the cap is the point from where she started. If her cap fell in to the water 3 km
:

away from the starting point, then find speed of stream.

ship in every 5 minute. There is a another outlet tap which throws out 12 tonnes of water every hour.

So, find the speed of ship so that while it is about to sink, another rescue ship which is coming towards it
with speed of 6km/hr. can save it and 69 tonnes of water is sufficient to sink that ship.
