Answer : 4. "36 years"
Explanation :

Answer: D) 36 years Explanation: Let present ages of Sushanth = w, Krish = x, Rishi = y and Rohit = z , thenw + x + y = 43 x 3 = 129 ---(i) andw + y + z = 49 x 3 = 147 ---(ii)Subtracting (i) from (ii), (w+y+z) - (w+x+y) = 147 - 129 , z - x = 18 ---(iii)Given Rohit's age=z=54, so from (iii), x = 54 - 18 = 36.Therefore, Krish age is 36 years.

Answer : 4. "Orographic rainfall"
Explanation :

Answer: D) Orographic rainfall Explanation: Orographic precipitation or Rain produced when moist air is lifted as it moves over a mountain range. As the air rises and cools, orographic clouds form and serve as the source of the precipitation, most of which falls upwind of the mountain ridge.   Some also falls a short distance downwind of the ridge and is sometimes called spillover. On the lee side of the mountain range, rainfall is usually low, and the area is said to be in a Rain Shadow.

Answer : 3. "Fluorine"
Explanation :

Answer: C) Fluorine Explanation: Electronegativity refers to the ability of an atom to attract shared electrons in a covalent bond. The higher the value of the electronegativity, the more strongly that element attracts the shared electrons. Electronegativity increases from bottom to top in groups, and increases from left to right across periods. Thus, fluorine is the most electronegative element and lithium is the least.

Answer : 3. "their walls are only one cell thick"
Explanation :

Answer: C) their walls are only one cell thick Explanation: Capillaries Tiny blood vessels connecting arteries to veins. These blood vessels carry oxygen and nutrients to individual cells. Capillaries are the smallest blood vessels in the body, and have walls only one or two cells thick. (Their diameter is 5 to 10 micrometers, or 5 to 10 millionths of a meter.)   Capillaries connect arterioles and venules, which are the smaller extensions of the larger arteries and veins.
