Answer : 1. "+6"
Explanation :

Answer: A) +6 Explanation: We will rewrite the formula as an equation. 2K + 2Cr + 7O = 0 The zero comes from there being no overall charge on the compound. Each oxidation number is represented by the element's symbol. Since this compound is not a peroxide or superoxide, the oxidation value for O is -2 K being in group 1 has a +1 charge and therefore has an oxidation number of K is +1 Now, by putting known values in we have: 2(+1) + 2(Cr) + 7(-2) = 0 2 + 2Cr -14 = 0 2Cr = +12 Cr = +6.

Answer : 1. "1 : 3"
Explanation :

Answer: A) 1 : 3 Explanation: Let the speed of the boat in still water is 'w' Speed of the current is 'c' Let the distance between two places is 'd' According to the question, motorboat takes half time to cover a certain distance downstream than upstream. dw+c = 12dw-c => 2w - 2c = w + c => w = 3c => c : w = 1 : 3   Hence, the ratio between rate of current(c) and rate of boat in still water(w) = 1 : 3

Answer : 1. "Rs. 5000"
Explanation :

Answer: A) Rs. 5000 Explanation: Let the amount invested by saketh = RS. p Now, that of sandeep = 20,000 x 6 saketh = 12 x p Ratio of their earnings = 120000 : 12p = 6000 : (9000 - 6000) => 12000012p = 60003000 => p= Rs. 5000 Hence, the amount investe by saketh  = Rs. p  = Rs. 5000.
