So, End of Year he had 10kg - 1kg = 9kg So, he sells that 9kg with Rs.20 per kg profit = 9 x 140 = 1260. He buy 10kg wooden box with cashew for Rs.1200 and sell that for Rs. 1260 So, profit = 1260 - 1200 = Rs.60 more money he get.

Answer : 3. "away from electrical wiring"
Explanation :
Answer: C) away from electrical wiring Explanation: A compass, which is used to assist in navigation, is an instrument that shows magnetic north. You must apply a correction to determine the direction of true north. The ability to steer a boat by a compass is useful if land is out of sight, visibility is reduced, or the boat operator is disoriented. Mount a boat compass away from iron, magnets, and electrical wiring and equipment.

Answer : 2. "Pyranometer"
Explanation :
Answer: B) Pyranometer Explanation: Solar radiation instruments may be produced to measure different types of solar energy. When sunlight encounters the Earth's atmosphere, some of it is absorbed or scattered by water vapor, aerosols, clouds, and other air molecules. The radiation which penetrates to the Earth's surface is termed direct solar radiation. A thermopile pyranometer is a type of actinometer used for measuring solar radiation on a planar surface and it is designed to measure the solar radiation flux density (W/m2) from the hemisphere above within a wavelength range 0.3 μm to 3 μm.

Answer : 3. "is described generally, not using a formal definition"
Explanation :
Answer: C) is described generally, not using a formal definition Explanation: In geometry, we can define plane as a flat surface with no thickness. The surface extends with no ends. A plane does not have any edges even if we draw it on paper with edges, it does't mean it has edges. Hence, A plane is an undefined term because it is described generally, not using a formal definition.
