Answer : 1. "Non-elastic effects"
Explanation :

Answer: A) Non-elastic effects Explanation: Rolling friction or rolling drag is the force resisting the motion when a body rolls on a surface. It is mainly caused by non-elastic effects, that is, not all the energy needed for deformation of the wheel, roadbed, etc... is recovered when the pressure is removed. Another cause of rolling resistance lies in the slippage between the wheel and the surface, which dissipates energy.

Answer : 2. "A loss of Rs. 37"
Explanation :

Answer: B) A loss of Rs. 37 Explanation: As the win leads to multiplying the amount by 1.5 and loss leads to multiplying the amount by 0.5, we will multiply the initial amount by 1.5 thrice and by 0.5 thrice (in any order). The overall resultant will remain same. So final amount with the person will be (in all cases): = 64(1.5)(1.5)(1.5)(0.5)(0.5)(0.5)= Rs. 27 Hence the final result is:  64 − 27 = 37 A loss of Rs.37
