Explanation :

Answer: D) 4.3 light-years away Explanation: The nearest stars to Earth are in the Alpha Centauri triple-star system, about 4.37 light-years away. One of these stars, Proxima Centauri, is slightly closer, at 4.26 light-years.   Of all the stars closer than 15 light-years, only two are spectral type G, similar to our sun: Alpha Centauri A and Tau Ceti. The majority are M-type red dwarf stars.   Only nine of the stars in this area is bright enough to be seen by the naked human eye from Earth. These brightest stars include Alpha Centauri A and B, Sirius A, Epsilon Eridani, Procyon, 61 Cygni A and B, Epsilon Indi A and Tau Ceti.

Answer : 4. "Rs. 3136"
Explanation :

Answer: D) Rs. 3136 Explanation: Let total amount = Rs. P Total expenditure = (23 + 33 + 19 + 16)% of P = 91%ofP Remaining money = (100 - 91)% of P = 9% of P But given in the question that, 9% of P = 504 9p/100 = 504 => P = 50400/9 => P = Rs. 5600   Required money spent on Food & Insurance = 23 + 33 % = 56% of 5600 = 56 x 5600/100 = 56 x 56 = Rs. 3136

Answer : 2. "109.9446"
Explanation :

Answer: B) 109.9446 Explanation: The term gram formula mass is synonymous with molecular mass. So, to get this, we must add molar mass of all the elements in this compound.   Given compound is Lithium Sulphate - Li2SO4 Elemental calculation :: Li  -  Lithium   -   6.941    -     2   -   13.88200 %S  -  Sulfur     -    32.065   -    1   -   32.065 %O  -  Oxygen   -   15.9994  -    4   -   63.9976 % Now, total = 12.6264 + 29.1647 + 58.2090 = 109.9446    Hence, the gram formula mass of Li2SO4 = 109.9446.
