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.

Answer : 1. "12 years"
Explanation :

Answer: A) 12 years Explanation: Given the average age of couple and their son = 40 => Sum of age (H +W +S) = 40×3 Let the age of daughter in law at the time of marriage = D years Now after 10 years, (H + S +W) + 3×12 + D +12 + 10 = 38×5 178 + D = 190 D = 190 -178 = 12 years

Answer : 3. "Rs. 340"
Explanation :

Answer: C) Rs. 340 Explanation: Assume first child (the youngest) get = Rs. x According to the question ;each son having Rs. 30 more than the younger one Second child will get = Rs. x + 30 Third child will get = Rs. x + 30 + 30 = x + 60 Forth child will get = Rs. x + 30 + 30 + 30 = x + 90 Fifth child will get = Rs. x + 30 + 30 + 30 + 30 = x + 120 Total amount they got = Rs. 2000 x + (x+30) + (x+60) + (x+90) + (x+120) = 20005x + 300 = 20005x = 1700x = Rs. 340So the youngest child will get Rs. 340.

Answer : 1. "2893"
Explanation :

Answer: A) 2893 Explanation: For solving this problem first we would break the whole range in 5 sections 1) From 1 to 9Total number of zero in this range = 0 2) From 10 to 99Total possibilities = 9*1 = 9 ( here 9 is used for the possibilities of a non zero integer) 3) From 100 to 999 - three type of numbers are there in this range a) x00 b) x0x c) xx0 (here x represents a non zero number)Total possibilities for x00 = 9*1*1 = 9, hence total zeros = 9*2 = 18for x0x = 9*1*9 = 81, hence total zeros = 81similarly for xx0 = 81 total zeros in three digit numbers = 18 + 81 +81 = 180 4) From 1000 to 9999 - seven type of numbers are there in this rangea)x000 b)xx00 c)x0x0 d)x00x e)xxx0 f)xx0x g)x0xxTotal possibilities for x000 = 9*1*1*1 = 9, hence total zeros = 9*3 = 27 for xx00 = 9*9*1*1 = 81, hence total zeros = 81*2 = 162 for x0x0 = 9*1*9*1 = 81, hence total zeros = 81*2 = 162for x00x = 9*1*1*9 = 81, hence total zeros = 81*2 = 162 for xxx0 = 9*9*9*1 = 729, hence total zeros = 729*1 = 729for xx0x = 9*9*1*9 = 729, hence total zeros = 729*1 = 729for x0xx = 9*1*9*9 = 729, hence total zeros = 729*1 = 729total zeros in four digit numbers = 27 + 3*162 + 3*729 = 2700thus total zeros will be 0+9+180+2700+4 (last 4 is for 4 zeros of 10000)= 2893
