Answer : 4. "26 2/3 days"
Explanation :
Answer: D) 26 2/3 days Explanation: 1/3 ---- 8 1 -------? Hari can do total work in = 24 days As satya is 60% efficient as Hari, then Satya = 1/24 x 60/100 = 1/40 => Satya can do total work in 40 days 1 ----- 40 2/3 ---- ? => 26 2/3 days.

Answer : 3. "24/625"
Explanation :
Answer: C) 24/625 Explanation: Total no of ways = (14 – 1)! = 13! Number of favorable ways = (12 – 1)! = 11! So, required probability = 11!×3!13! = 39916800×66227020800 = 24625

Answer : 3. "98 mts"
Explanation :
Answer: C) 98 mts Explanation: Let the distance between home and school is 'x'.Let actual time to reach be 't'.Thus, x/4 = t + 4 ---- (1)and x/6 = t - 30 -----(2)Solving equation (1) and (2)=> x = 98 mts.

Answer : 4. "All the above"
Explanation :
Answer: D) All the above Explanation: Most of the emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG) come primarily from burning fossil fuels (coal, hydrocarbon gas liquids, natural gas, and petroleum) for energy use and the major greenhouse gas is of course carbon dioxide (CO2) which comes from burning fossil fuels and land-use change. But methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O), which mostly come from agriculture and waste, are also significant GHGs and shouldn't be discounted.

Answer : 4. "Indeterminate"
Explanation :
Answer: D) Indeterminate Explanation: Indeterminate are those,which mathematics can’t determine. Because we don’t actually know which one is the exact answer for this due to having lots of results for this. Explanation:: Let us think by this analogy that, 0 / 1 = 0 0 / 2 = 0 ………… ……….. we can say 0 / n = 0 from this we can write, 0/0 = 0 Again, another analogy,(from limiting concept of 1/0 = infinity) 1 / 0 = +∞ or -∞ 2 /0 = +∞ or -∞ ……… .……. we can say 0 / 0 = ∞ Again, another analogy, 1 / 1 = 1 2/2 = 1 .…….. ……….. we can say, 0/0 = 1 Now, you see it’s confusing. Every analog is mathematically correct then which one is the right answer for 0/0. Therefore Mathematics can’t determine this fact. So, 0/0 is indeterminate.
