Answer : 1. "C2H6O"
Explanation :

Answer: A) C2H6O Explanation: C2H6O is a Non-electrolyte.   An electrolyte is a compound that conducts an electric current when it is in an aqueous solution or melted. In order to conduct a current, a substance must contain mobile ions that can move from one electrode to the other. All ionic compounds are electrolytes. When ionic compounds dissolve, they break apart into ions which are then able to conduct a current ( conductivity ). Even insoluble ionic compounds such as CaCO 3 are electrolytes because they can conduct a current in the molten (melted) state.   A nonelectrolyte is a compound that does not conduct an electric current in either aqueous solution or in the molten state. Many molecular compounds, such as sugar or ethanol, are nonelectrolytes. When these compounds dissolve in water, they do not produce ions.   Electrolytes are of 3 types ---- Strong Electrolytes, Weak Electrolytes and Non Electrolytes.   Strong Electrolytes ---- Compounds which completely dissolves. ( NaCl, Na2Co3, HCl ) Weak Electrolytes ----- Compounds which do not completely dissolves. Non Electrolytes ------ Compounds which do not dissolves at all.

Answer : 1. "Andaman & Nicobar Island"
Explanation :

Answer: A) Andaman & Nicobar Island Explanation: A team of scientists led by Abhay Mudholkar, from CSIR-National Institute of Oceanography (CSIR-NIO) in Goa on February 17, 2017 informed that India’s only live volcano, the barren island volcano in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands has started erupting smoke and lava again. The Barren Island volcano last erupted in 1991 after lying dormant for 150 years. Again the volcano has started showing sporadic activity in small intervals of 5-10 minutes. As per the scientists, during the day only ash clouds were observed, but after sunset red lava foundations were erupting from the crater into the atmosphere and hot lava streamed down the slopes.

Answer : 1. "1 : 3"
Explanation :

Answer: A) 1 : 3 Explanation: Let the speed of the boat in still water is 'w' Speed of the current is 'c' Let the distance between two places is 'd' According to the question, motorboat takes half time to cover a certain distance downstream than upstream. dw+c = 12dw-c => 2w - 2c = w + c => w = 3c => c : w = 1 : 3   Hence, the ratio between rate of current(c) and rate of boat in still water(w) = 1 : 3

Answer : 1. "Rs. 5000"
Explanation :

Answer: A) Rs. 5000 Explanation: Let the amount invested by saketh = RS. p Now, that of sandeep = 20,000 x 6 saketh = 12 x p Ratio of their earnings = 120000 : 12p = 6000 : (9000 - 6000) => 12000012p = 60003000 => p= Rs. 5000 Hence, the amount investe by saketh  = Rs. p  = Rs. 5000.
