Answer : 1. "28,000 kmph"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 28,000 kmph Explanation: Satellites orbit the earth at a speed of 28,000 kmph. Satellites that are further away actually travel slower. The International Space Station has a Low Earth Orbit, about 400 kilometers (250 miles) above the earth's surface. Objects orbiting at that altitude travel about 28,000 kilometers per hour (17,500 miles per hour).

Answer : 4. "15"
Explanation :
Answer: D) 15 Explanation: Let 'K' be the total number of sweets.Given total number of students = 112If sweets are distributed among 112 children,Let number of sweets each student gets = 'L' => K/112 = L ....(1)But on that day students absent = 32 => remaining = 112 - 32 = 80Then, each student gets '6' sweets extra. => K/80 = L + 6 ....(2)from (1) K = 112L substitute in (2), we get112L = 80L + 48032L = 480L = 15 Therefore, 15 sweets were each student originally supposed to get.

Answer : 1. "2Mg + O2 ----> 2MgO"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 2Mg + O2 ----> 2MgO Explanation: Given Equation is Mg + O2 → MgO Balancing the Chemical Equation is nothing but Conservation of Matter. As Matter is Neither created nor Destroyed, it must be conserved. Here we have 1 Mg and 2 O on the left side and 1 Mg and 1 O on the right side To balance that, add 1 Mg on the left side so that it becomes 2 Mg and 2 O on the left side i.e, 2 Mg + O2 → 2 MgO Here it has 2 Mg & 2 O on the left side and 2 Mg and 2 O on the right side and the Chemical equation is Balanced.
