Answer : 3. "36 sec"
Explanation :
Answer: C) 36 sec Explanation: Given speed of jogger = 9 kmph Speed of train = 45 kmphAs they are in same direction, Relative speed = 45 - 9 = 36 kmph = 36x5/18 = 10 m/sDistance = 240 + 120 = 360 mts Time = distance/speed = 360/10 = 36 sec.

Answer : 1. "9216"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 9216 Explanation: It takes four of those little squares -- each one 1/2 inch on a side -- to cover one square inch. That's because each one is 1/2 x 1/2, or 1/4 of a square inch. In a rectangle that is 48 inches by 48 inches, there are 2304 square inches.(1 ft = 12 inches) Since it takes 4 little squares to cover 1 sq inch, then it would need 2304 x 4 squares (1/2 inch on a side each) to cover a rectangle 4 feet by 4 feet. That is 9,216 of those squares.

Answer : 2. "Methanol (CH3OH)"
Explanation :
Answer: B) Methanol (CH3OH) Explanation: Chemical Compounds with stronger intermolecular forces have higher boiling points. The order of strengths of intermolecular forces is: London dispersion < dipole-dipole < H-bonding Methane (CH4) — London dispersion forces Dimethyl ether (CH3OCH3) — dipole-dipole attractions Methanol (CH3OH) — hydrogen bonding Therefore, Methanol - CH3OH with H-Bonding have highest Boiling Point among the given chemical compounds.

Answer :
Explanation :
Inflation risk, also called purchasing power risk, is the chance that the cash flows from an investment won't be worth as much in the future because of changes in purchasing power due to inflation. HOW IT WORKS (EXAMPLE): For example, $1,000,000 in bonds with a 10% coupon might generate enough interest payments for a retiree to live on, but with an annual 3% inflation rate, every $1,000 produced by the portfolio will only be worth $970 next year and about $940 the year after that. The rising inflation means that the interest payments have less and less purchasing power. And the principal, when it is repaid after several years, will buy substantially less than it did when the investor first purchased the bonds.
