Answer:

The speed from the observer is 8 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the boat is going downstream with full force, its speed will be the one the oarsman can row on still water added by the flow of the river. In this case he can row the boat at speed of 3 mph, while the stream is 5 mph, so the speed from the observer standpoint is:

speed = 3 + 5\\speed = 8 \text{ mph}

The speed from the observer is 8 mph.

cricket20 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a) One can get maximum score when all the 20 questions answered are correct.

Maximum score = 20*3 = 60 points

b) Minimum score = 20 * (-2) = -40 points

c) Points for correctly answered questions = 10*3 = 30

Incorrectly answered questions = 14 - 10 = 4

Points for incorrectly answered questions = 4 * (-2) = -8

Total score = 30 + (-8) = 22

d) Points for correctly answered questions =5*3 =  15

Points for incorrectly answered questions = 13 * (-2) = -26

Total score = 15 + (-26) = -11
