Answer : 2. "Rs. 2.04"
Explanation :

Answer: B) Rs. 2.04 Explanation: Compound Interest for 1 1⁄2 years when interest is compounded yearly = Rs.(5304 - 5000) Amount after 11⁄2 years when interest is compounded half-yearly Compound Interest for 1 1⁄2 years when interest is compounded half-yearly = Rs.(5306.04 - 5000) Difference in the compound interests = (5306.04 - 5000) - (5304 - 5000)= 5306.04 - 5304 = Rs. 2.04

Answer : 2. "OH-"
Explanation :

Answer: B) OH- Explanation: A conjugate acid, is a species formed by the reception of a proton (H+) by a base—in other words, it is a base with a hydrogen ion added to it. On the other hand, a conjugate base is what is left over after an acid has donated a proton during a chemical reaction. Hence, a conjugate base is a species formed by the removal of a proton from an acid. Because some acids are capable of releasing multiple protons, the conjugate base of an acid may itself be acidic. Represented as the following chemical reaction: Acid + Base ⇌ Conjugate Base + Conjugate Acid   The water molecule is the conjugate acid of the hydroxide ion after the latter received the hydrogen proton donated by ammonium. On the other hand, ammonia is the conjugate base for the acid ammonium after ammonium has donated a hydrogen ion towards the production of the water molecule. We can also refer to OH- as a conjugate base of H2O, since the water molecule donates a proton towards the production of NH+4 in the reverse reaction, which is the predominating process in nature due to the strength of the base NH3 over the hydroxide ion.

Answer : 3. "Sound waves"
Explanation :

Answer: C) Sound waves Explanation: Light and Radio waves are both different frequency/wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation, which consists of two components electric and magnetic of perpendicular, transverse waves.    Sound, on the other hand, is a longitudinal wave which oscillates parallel to it's medium (back and forth instead of up and down).

Answer : 4. "Nagpur"
Explanation :

Answer: D) Nagpur Explanation: With India's pledge to go all electric by 2030, Nagpur will be the first city in the country to adopt electric cabs as the country moves a step closer to its goal. The pilot project will see around 200 e-cabs in Nagpur with the local body to provide for the charging stations across the city. Currently, Mahindra and Honda are few of the car-manufacturers who have electric and hybrid vehicles in their line-up. We do hope that the situation changes, as hybrid and electric vehicles will help in the growing pollution in India. Countries such as France, Netherland and Belgium have already started to adopt electric and hybrid vehicles.
