Answer : 4. "All the above"
Explanation :

Answer: D) All the above Explanation: Fractional reserve banking is the practice whereby a bank accepts deposits, makes loans or investments, but is required to hold reserves equal to only a fraction of its deposit liabilities. Fractional reserve banking is a banking system in which only a fraction of bank deposits are backed by actual cash on hand and are available for withdrawal. This is done to expand the economy by freeing up capital that can be loaned out to other parties.

Answer : 3. "6 hrs"
Explanation :

Answer: C) 6 hrs Explanation: Suppose A, B and C take x, x/2 and x/3 respectively to finish the work.  Then, (1/x + 2/x + 3/x) = 1/2  => 6/x = 1/2      => x = 12  So, B takes 6 hours to finish the work.

Answer : 4. "Pressure"
Explanation :

Answer: D) Pressure Explanation: Pressure is Not a form of Energy.   Energy : It is defined as the ability to do work. Energy comes in two basic forms. They are : 1. Potential Energy 2. Kinetic Energy   Potential Energy is any type of stored energy. It can be chemical, nuclear, gravitational, or mechanical. Kinetic Energy is found in movement. An airplane flying or a meteor plummeting each have kinetic energy. Even the tiniest things have kinetic energy, like atoms vibrating when they are hot or when they transmit sound waves. Electricity is the kinetic energy of flowing electrons between atoms.

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 : 2. "decrease"
Explanation :

Answer: B) decrease Explanation: Let M and m grams be the mass of boat + rock in it. By law of floatation(M+m) grams of water will be displaced. This has a volume of (M+m)cc. That means the level of water in pool has risen up by (M+m)cc with the boat + rock when it is floating. If the rocks in the boat are thrown not into the pool but outside, the weight left is only M grams the weight of the boat. This will have displaced M cc of water only i.e less water than in the case of loaded boat. But if the rocks are put in the water in the pool and not outside, then the water in the pool will rise not only by M cc on account of empty boat but also by a volume of the stone put into it. This volume will be mdwhere m is the mass of rock and d density of rock. Now md is  < m. Thus the total rise will be M+mdwhich is < M + m.
