Answer :
Explanation :

From the assumption and trial and error method, last three digits sum must leave the same digit as the answer. It is possible only if the answer must be units digit number leaving tens digit as carry. And the possible 3rd digit is 5. Since 5 + 5 + 5 = 15  Now, 2nd step is  1 + x + x + x = 5 => 3x = 4 It is possible with x = 8. 8 + 8 + 8 + 1 = 25 leaving 2 as carry.  Now, 3rd step is 2 + x + x + x = 5 => x = 1   Hence, the three dgits are 1, 8, 5. 185 + 185 + 185 = 555.

Answer : 2. "5/36"
Explanation :

Answer: B) 5/36 Explanation: The two events mentioned are independent. The first roll of the die is independent of the second roll. Therefore the probabilities can be directly multiplied. P(getting first 4) = 1/6 P(no second 6) = 5/6 Therefore P(getting first 4 and no second 6) = 1/6 x 5/6 = 5/36

Answer : 4. "All the above"
Explanation :

Answer: D) All the above Explanation: Metamorphism is the change of minerals or geologic texture in pre-existing rocks, without the protolith melting into liquid magma. The change occurs primarily due to heat, pressure, and the introduction of chemically active fluids.   The parent rock must be in solid form. Tons of pressure must be applied for metamorphism to happen. The process must take place underground.
