Answer : 3. "Covalent"
Explanation :

Answer: C) Covalent Explanation: Covalent type of bonding joins the two hydrogen atoms. Hydrogen atoms in compounds such as H2 and H2O are joined to the molecule with covalent bonds. This is where electrons are shared between the atoms in order to fill there valence shells.

Answer : 2. "172.5 degrees"
Explanation :

Answer: B) 172.5 degrees Explanation: The minute hand angle is the easiest since an hour (i.e. 60 minutes) corresponds to the entire 360 degrees, each minute must correspond to 6 degrees. So just multiply the number of minutes in the time by 6 to get the number of degrees for the minute hand. Here 15 minutes corresponds to 15 x 6 = 90 degrees Next, you have to figure out the angle of the hour hand. Since there are 12 hours in the entire 360 degrees, each hour corresponds to 30 degrees. But unless the time is EXACTLY something o'clock, you have to write the time as a fractional number of hours rather than as hours and minutes.Here the time is 9:15 which is (9 + 15/60) = 37/4 hours. Since each hour corresponds to 30 degrees, we multiply 30 to get (37/4)(30) = 277.5 degrees. Since the hour hand is at 277.5 degrees and the minute hand is at 90 degrees, we can subtract to get the angle of separation. 277.5 - 90 = 187.5 =~ 360 - 187.5 = 172.5 degrees.

Answer : 3. "70%"
Explanation :

Answer: C) 70% Explanation: Let C.P.= Rs. 100. Then, Profit = Rs. 320, S.P. = Rs. 420. New C.P. = 125% of Rs. 100 = Rs. 125New S.P. = Rs. 420. Profit = Rs. (420 - 125) = Rs. 295 Required percentage = (295/420) * 100 = 70%(approx)

Answer : 4. "140 mts"
Explanation :

Answer: D) 140 mts Explanation: Speeds of two trains = 30 kmph and 58 kmph => Relative speed = 58 - 30 = 28 kmph = 28 x 5/18 m/s = 70/9 m/s Given a man takes time to cross length of faster train = 18 sec   Now, required Length of faster train = speed x time = 70/9  x  18 = 140 mts.
