Answer : 2. "54"
Explanation :

Answer: B) 54 Explanation: Let R, G and B represent the number of balls in red, green and blue boxes respectively. Then, . R + G + B = 108 ...(i), G + R = 2B ...(ii) B = 2R ...(iii) From (ii) and (iii), we have G + R = 2x 2R = 4R or G = 3R. Putting G = 3R and B = 2R in (i), we get: R + 3R + 2R = 108 6R = 108 R = 18. Therefore Number of balls in green box = G = 3R = (3 x 18) = 54.

Answer : 1. "60"
Explanation :

Answer: A) 60 Explanation: Let, no. of rice bowl = xno. of dal bowl = yno. of meat bowl = z Then, x + y + z = 65 ....(1) Also given that, 2x = 3y = 4z substituting value of y & z in terms of x i.e. y = 2x/3 and z = x/2 in eq (1),We get x = 30. As 1 rice bowl is shared between 2 guests, Therefore, there are 60 guests.

Answer : 1. "22/7 x 24/35"
Explanation :

Answer: A) 22/7 x 24/35 Explanation: Since level of water increased in cylinder by height 4.  This is because of the rectangular block .   Therefore , area of rectangular block immersed in water is  = 227×6×6×4   Thats why portion of block immersed in water is  = (22/7 * 36 * 4) / total vol. of rectangle  = (22/7 * 36 * 4)/ (7*5*6)  = (22/7 * 24)/ 35.

Answer : 2. "North"
Explanation :

Answer: B) North Explanation: The azimuth originates at true North i.e, the azimuth originates from the north point. It is a measure of how far an object forms the observer's north point.   Azimuth is a technical mapping term which is used to describe the direction of an angle between north and south on a compass circle through which the circle line passes. It is the most common military method to express direction. When using an azimuth, the point from which the azimuth originates is the center of an imaginary circle.
