Answer : 2. "13 + 1/3 days"
Explanation :

Answer: B) 13 + 1/3 days Explanation: C alone can finish the work in 40 days.As given C does half as much work as A and B together => (A + B) can do it in 20 days(A + B)s 1 days wok = 1/20.A's 1 days work : B's 1 days Work = 1/2 : 1 = 1:2(given)A's 1 day’s work = (1/20) x (1/3) = (1/60) [Divide 1/20 in the raio 1:2]B's 1 days work = (1/20) x (2/3) = 1/30(A+B+C)'s 1 day's work = (1/60) + (1/30) + (1/40) = 9/120 = 3/40 All the three together will finish it in 40/3 = 13 and 1/3 days.

Answer : 1. "193 : 122"
Explanation :

Answer: A) 193 : 122 Explanation: Given the three mixtures ratio as (1:2),(2:3),(3:4) (1+2),(2+3),(3+4) Total content = 3,5,7   Given equal quantities of the three mixtures are mixed, then LCM of 3, 5, 7 = 105 105/3 = 35 , 105/5 = 21 , 105/7 = 15   Now, the individual equal quantity ratios are (35x1, 35x2), (21x2, 21x3), (15x3, 15x4)  i.e (35,70), (42,63), (45,60)   So overall mixture ratio of milk and water is 35+42+45 : 70+63+60 122:193   But in the question asked the ratio of water to milk = 193 : 122

Answer : 1. "3/91"
Explanation :

Answer: A) 3/91 Explanation: In a circle of n different persons, the total number of arrangements possible = (n - 1)!Total number of arrangements = n(S) = (15 – 1)! = 14 !Taking three persons as a unit, total persons = 13 (in 4 units)Therefore no. of ways for these 13 persons to around the circular table = (13 - 1)! = 12!In any given unit, 3 particular person can sit in 3!. Hence total number of ways that any three person can sit =n(E) = 12! X 3!Therefore P (E) = probability of three persons sitting together = n(E) / n(S) = 12! X 3 ! / 14!= 12!x3x2 / 14x13x12! = 6/14x13 = 3/91

Answer : 2. "Deforestation"
Explanation :

Answer: B) Deforestation Explanation: The Chipko movement or Chipko Andolan refers to a forest conservation movement or deforestation. In modern india, it began in 1973 in the state of Uttar Pradesh (now Uttarakhand). Sunderlal Bahuguna and 84 villagers risked their lives to protect the forest trees from being felled on the order of the maharaja (king) and went on to become a rallying point for many future environmental movements all over the world it created a precedent for starting of nonviolent protest in India, and its success meant that the world immediately took notice of this non violent movement, which was to inspire in time many such eco-groups by helping to slow down the rapid deforestation, expose vested interests, increase ecological awareness, and demonstrate the viability of people power. Above all, it stirred up the existing civil society in India, which began to address the issues of tribal and marginalized people.   Chipko type movement dates back to 1730 AD when in a khejarli village of Rajasthan, 363 people sacrificed their lives to save khejari trees.
