Answer : 1. "36 days"
Explanation :

Answer: A) 36 days Explanation: Given the ratio of efficiencies of P, Q & R are 3 : 8 : 5 Let the efficiencies of P, Q & R be 3x, 8x and 5x respectively They can do work for 12 days. => Total work = 12 x 16x = 192x   Now, the required time taken by Q to complete the job alone = 162x8x = 24 days.

Answer : 2. "Rs. 432"
Explanation :

Answer: B) Rs. 432 Explanation: Here Avinash gave to Rajeev and Rajeev gave the same to Chanukya Principal amount and Time is same but the only difference is Rate of interest. Rajeev took @ 8% and gave it to Chanukya @ 6% Here the difference in interest rate = 2% 2% of 5400 should be the extra amount paid by Rajeev to Avinash Required amount = 2 x 5400 x 4100 = 432   Hence, Rs. 432 is the extra amount has to be paid by Rajeev to Avinash after 4 years.

Answer : 3. "Electron transport chain"
Explanation :

Answer: C) Electron transport chain Explanation: There are 3 stages in cellular respiration. They are: 1. Glycolysis 2. Kreb's cycle 3. Electron transport chain   Here, Glycolysis produces only 2 ATP whereas Kreb's cycle produces no ATP. Electron transport chain of the cellular respiration produces the maximum ATP.
