Answer : 3. "3.75 km"
Explanation :

Answer: C) 3.75 km Explanation: Let 'd' be the distance between A and BK -time = d/10 + d/9 = 19d/90 hoursL -time = 2d/12 = d/6 hoursWe know that, 10 min = 1/6 hoursThus, time difference between K and L is given as 10 minutes. => 19d/90 - d/6 = 1/6=> (19d-15d)/90 = 1/6=> 4d/90 = 1/6Thus,d= 15/4 km = 3.75 km. hence the distance between A and B is 3.75 km.

Answer : 3. "Both A & B"
Explanation :

Answer: C) Both A & B Explanation: Geothermal power plants are used in order to generate electricity by the use of geothermal energy (the Earth's internal thermal energy). They essentially work the same as a coal or nuclear power plant, the main difference being the heat source. Geothermal power plants use hydrothermal resources that have both water (hydro) and heat (thermal). Geothermal power plants require high-temperature (300°F to 700°F) hydrothermal resources that come from either dry steam wells or from hot water wells.

Answer : 2. "40"
Explanation :

Answer: B) 40 Explanation: The third proportional of two numbers p and q is defined to be that number r such that p : q = q : r.   Here, required third proportional of 10 & 20, and let it be 'a' => 10 : 20 = 20 : a 10a = 20 x 20 => a = 40   Hence, third proportional of 10 & 20 is 40.
