Answer : 4. "39"
Explanation :
Answer: D) 39 Explanation: Let the two-digit number be 10a + ba + b = 12 --- (1)If a>b, a - b = 6If b>a, b - a = 6If a - b = 6, adding it to equation (1), we get2a = 18 => a =9so b = 12 - a = 3Number would be 93.if b - a = 6, adding it to the equation (1), we get2b = 18 => b = 9a = 12 - b = 3.Number would be 39.There fore, Number would be 39 or 93.

Answer : 3. "60 kmph"
Explanation :
Answer: C) 60 kmph Explanation: Average speed = Total distance / Total time. Total distance traveled by Joel = Distance covered in the first 3 hours + Distance covered in the next 5 hours. Distance covered in the first 3 hours = 3 x 60 = 180 milesDistance covered in the next 5 hours = 5 x 24 = 120 miles Therefore, total distance traveled = 180 + 120 = 300 miles. Total time taken = 3 + 5 = 8 hours. Average speed = 300/8 = 37.5 mph. we know that 1 mile = 1.6 kms => 37.5 miles = 37.5 x 1.6 = 60 kms Average speed in Kmph = 60 kmph.

Answer : 4. "predator"
Explanation :
Answer: D) predator Explanation: A tertiary consumer is an animal that obtains its nutrition by eating primary consumers and secondary consumers. Usually tertiary consumers are carnivorous predators, although they may also be omnivores, which are animals that feed on both meat and plant material. Tertiary consumers often occupy the top trophic level, and so are predated by no other animals; in this case they are called "apex predators". However, when they die their bodies will be consumed by scavengers and decomposers.

Answer : 4. "38.57 cm"
Explanation :
Answer: D) 38.57 cm Explanation: We know that perimeter of rectangle = 2(l+b) = 2(8+7)= 30cmGiven perimeter of square is twice the perimeter of rectangle = 2(30) = 60cmTherefore, side of the square is = 1/4 x 60 = 15cmCircumference of the required semicircle = πr + 2r = 227× 152 + 2×152 = 23.57 + 15 = 38.57cm.
