Answer :
Explanation :

In accounting, the Three-way Match refers to a procedure used when processing an invoice received from a vendor or supplier. The three-way match is an important step in safeguarding an organization's assets. The purpose of the three-way match is to avoid paying incorrect and perhaps fraudulent invoices. Here Three-way refers to the three documents involved : * Vendor's invoice which was received and will become part of an organization's accounts        payable if approved. * Purchase order that was prepared by the organization. * Receiving report that was prepared by the organization. And Match refers to the comparison of the quantities, price per unit, terms, etc. appearing on the vendor's invoice to the information on the purchase order and to the quantities actually received. After the vendor's invoice has been validated by the three-way match, it can be further processed for payment.

Answer : 1. "1:7"
Explanation :

Answer: A) 1:7 Explanation: Let the speed of the trains be x and y respectively length of train1 = 47xlength of train2 = 31yRelative speed= x + yTime taken to cross each other = 33 s=> 47x+31yx+y= 33=> (47x + 31 y) = 33(x + y)=> 14x = 2y=> x/y = 2/14 = 1/7  = 1:7

Answer : 2. "45"
Explanation :

Answer: B) 45 Explanation: Let number of 20 ps coins = x and number of 25 ps coins = y Given total coins in the bag = 50 x + y = 50.......(1) But the total money in the bag = Rs. 10.25 0.20x + 0.25y = 10.25 20x + 25y = 1025.........(2) Now multiplying (1) by 25 we get 25x+25y=1250.............(3) By solving (2) and (3) 20x + 25y = 1025; => x = 45; Then, the no. of 20 ps coins are 45.

Answer : 2. "24"
Explanation :

Answer: B) 24 Explanation: Sum of Interior angle is 180 .and it is given that interior angle is 150 more than exterior,so let exterior angle is x then interior will be x+150 now , interior + exterior =180x+150+x=180x=15 now , number of sides of polygon = 360 / exterior anglen = 360 / 15n = 24

Answer : 2. "3/10"
Explanation :

Answer: B) 3/10 Explanation: Here, S = {1, 2, 3, 4, ...., 19, 20}=> n(s) = 20Let E = event of getting a multiple of 4 or 15 =multiples od 4 are {4, 8, 12, 16, 20}And multiples of 15 means multiples of 3 and 5= {3, 6 , 9, 12, 15, 18, 5, 10, 15, 20}.= the common multiple is only (15).=> E = n(E)= 6Required Probability = P(E) = n(E)/n(S) = 6/20 = 3/10.
