Answer : 1. "Rs. 6000"
Explanation :

Answer: A) Rs. 6000 Explanation: Let the sum invested be Rs. P Let the rate of interest be R% per annum => Interest earned for 5 years = (P x 5 x R/100) = PR/20 Now, given that the interest earned increased by Rs. 600 if the Rate increased to (R+2)% => SI = (P x 5 x (R+2))/100 = PR/20 + 10P/100 Hence, PR/20 + 10P/100 = PR/20 + 600 => P = 6000 Therefore, the sum invested is Rs. 6000

Answer : 2. "K"
Explanation :

Answer: B) K Explanation: For neutral atoms, the periodic trends in atomic size can be described like this Atomic size decreases when going from left to right across a period,Atomic size increases when going from top to bottom down a group.   Let's use these trends to try and figure out which atom would have the largest radius. If you look at elements that are located in the same group, potassium will have a larger atomic radius when compared with sodium. Likewise, bromine will have a larger atomic radius when compared with chlorine. Now focus on potassium and bromine. Since potassium is located at the start of period 3, and bromine at the end of the same period, potassium will have a larger atomic radius than bromine, and thus the largest atomic radius of the four given atoms.

Answer : 3. "16:5"
Explanation :

Answer: C) 16:5 Explanation: Area of a square SxS = 1024 => S = 32 cmLength of the rectangle = 32x2 cm = 64 cmBreadth of the rectangle = 32 - 12 = 20 cmRequired ratio = 64 : 20 = 16 : 5

Answer : 1. "1/3"
Explanation :

Answer: A) 1/3 Explanation: In a family with 2 children there are four possibilities:1) the first child is a boy and the second child is a boy (bb)2) the first child is a boy and the second child is a girl (bg)3) the first child is a girl and the second child is a boy (gb)4) the first child is a girl and the second child is a girl (gg) But already given that one child is boy. So we have three possibilities of (bb)(bg)(gb).n(E)= both are boys=BB=1n(S)= 3Required probability P = n(E)/n(S) = 1/3.
