Answer : 1. "2000"
Explanation :

Answer: A) 2000 Explanation: Let 's' be the number of small packets and 'b' the number of large packets sold on that day.   Therefore, s + b = 5000 ... eqn (1)   Each small packet was sold for Rs.150.Therefore, 's' small packets would have fetched Rs.150s.   Each large packets was sold for Rs.250.Therefore, 'b' large packets would have fetched Rs.250b.   Total value of sale = 150s + 250b = Rs. 10.5 Lakhs (Given)   Or 150s + 250b = 10,50,000 ... eqn (2)   Multiplying equation (1) by 150, we get 150s + 150b = 7,50,000 ... eqn (3)   Subtracting eqn (3) from eqn (2), we get 100b = 3,00,000Or b = 3000   We know that s + b = 5000So, s = 5000 - b = 5000 - 3000 = 2000.   2000 small packets were sold.

Answer : 3. "30 m/s"
Explanation :

Answer: C) 30 m/s Explanation: The interval between object pass the same point is 4 sec. That means in 2 sec, object reaches the top and in next 2 sec, it again reaches the same point. By the info given, we can find the velocity of that point by using : v=u+(-gt) 0= u - 10×2 u = 20 Then the velocity at 25m is 20m/sec. so the initial velocity is -v2 = u2 + (-2gh)400 = u2 - 2x 10 x 25u2 = 900 => u = 30 m/s

Answer : 3. "Wind"
Explanation :

Answer: C) Wind Explanation: The energy sources that are constantly being replenished, such as sunlight, wind, and water. This means that we can use them as much as we want, and we do not have to worry about them running out. Additionally, renewable energy sources are usually much more environmentally friendly than fossil fuels. Overall, they release very few chemicals, like carbon dioxide, that can harm the environment. Most of this energy comes from fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and natural gas. These are nonrenewable energy sources, which means that if we use them all up, we can never get more during our lifetime. Fossil fuels also contribute greatly to global climate change by releasing carbon dioxide into the air when they are burned.
