Answer : 3. "4349 days"
Explanation :

Answer: C) Option C Explanation: Raghu can complete the work in (12 x 9)hrs = 108 hrs.    Arun can complete the work in (8 x 11)hrs = 88 hrs.   Raghu's 1 hrs work = 1/108 and Arun's 1 hrs work = 1/88   (Raghu + Arun)'s 1 hrs work = 1108+188=492376  So, both Raghu and Arun will finish the work in 237649 hrs Number of days of 12 hours each=237649×112 = 19849=4349 days

Answer : 2. "138"
Explanation :

Answer: B) 138 Explanation: The gram formula mass of a compound is nothing but the molar mass. The molar mass of K2CO3 (Potassium Carbonate) is given by Atomic weights of individual elements are   K (Potassium) = 39 g C (Carbon) = 12 g O (Oxygen) = 16 g   Hence, that of K2CO3 = 39(2) + 12 + 16(3) = 78 + 12 + 48 = 138.

Answer : 1. "1, 5 – hexadiene"
Explanation :

Answer: A) 1, 5 – hexadiene Explanation: 3 – Hexanol: There is no alcohol stretch present in the spectrum. Therefore, the above structure is not suitable for the given spectrum.   Trans – 4 – octene: There is no vinyl bending present in the spectrum. Therefore, the above structure is not suitable for the given spectrum. 1, 5 – hexadiene: The vinyl bending and other stretches were matched with the above structure.     Hence, the c = c stretch, vinyl bending and stretch were matched with the above structure. Therefore, the given spectrum belongs to 1, 5 – hexadiene.
