Answer : 3. "Rs. 9000"
Explanation :
Answer: C) Rs. 9000 Explanation: Let Rs. K invested in each scheme Two years C.I on 20% = 20 + 20 + 20x20/100 = 44% Two years C.I on 15% = 15 + 15 + 15x15/100 = 32.25% Now, (P x 44/100) - (P x 32.25/100) = 528.75 => 11.75 P = 52875 => P = Rs. 4500 Hence, total invested money = P + P = 4500 + 4500 = Rs. 9000.

Answer : 3. "192"
Explanation :
Answer: C) 192 Explanation: We are having with digits 2, 3, 4, 5 & 6 and numbers greater than 4000 are to be formed, no digit is repeated. The number can be 4 digited but greater than 4000 or 5 digited. Number of 4 digited numbers greater than 4000 are4 or 5 or 6 can occupy thousand place => 3 x P34 = 3 x 24 = 72. 5 digited numbers = P55 = 5! = 120 So the total numbers greater than 4000 = 72 + 120 = 192

Answer : 4. "Japan"
Explanation :
Answer: D) Japan Explanation: Maglev trains are used in Japan, South Korea and China only. Maglev derived from magnetic levitation using the principle of magnetic repulsion is a system of train transportation that uses two sets of magnets, one set to repel and push the train up off the track as in levitation then another set to move the 'floating train' ahead at great speed taking advantage of no friction. Maglev trains are therefore quieter and smoother than conventional trains, and have the potential for much higher speeds Despite over a century of research and development, maglev transport systems are in operation in just three countries Japan, South Korea and China. Hence Maglev -- Magnetic-levitation.
