Answer : 3. "60 kmph"
Explanation :
Answer: C) 60 kmph Explanation: Speed on return trip = 150% of 50 = 75 km/hr. Average speed = (2 x 50 x 75)/(50 + 75) = 60 km/hr.

Answer : 1. "28"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 28 Explanation: Let the original number is 82 i.e 8 + 2 = 10 and when the digits are reversed i.e 28The difference is 82 - 28 = 54 i.e, the number is decreased by 54.

Answer : 3. "in the nucleus, mitochondria, and chloroplasts."
Explanation :
Answer: C) in the nucleus, mitochondria, and chloroplasts. Explanation: All of the genetic information in a cell was initially thought to be confined to the DNA in the chromosomes of the cell nucleus. It is now known that small circular chromosomes, called extranuclear, or cytoplasmic, DNA, are located in two types of organelles found in the cytoplasm of the cell. These organelles are the mitochondria in animal and plant cells and the chloroplasts in plant cells. Chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) contains genes that are involved with aspects of photosynthesis and with components of the special protein-synthesizing apparatus that is active within the organelle. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) contains some of the genes that participate in the conversion of the energy of chemical bonds into the energy currency of the cell—a chemical called adenosine triphosphate (ATP)—as well as genes for mitochondrial protein synthesis.

Q: Pavan and Sravan are two persons. If Pavan works with his actual efficiency and Sravan twice of his actual efficiency then it takes 25 days to complete the work. But If Pavan works twice of his actual efficiency and Sravan with his normal efficiency then the work is completed in 20 days. How many days would it take if Sravan alone works with his actual efficiency (in Days)? 2008 05b5cc6c7e4d2b4197774ded2

Answer : 2. "100"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 100 Explanation: Let the Efficiency of pavan be E(P) Let the Efficiency of sravan be E(S) Here Work W = LCM(25,20) = 100 Now, E(P+2S) = 100/25 = 4 ....(1) E(2P+S) = 100/20 = 5 ....(2) Hence, from (1) & (2) we get E(S) = 1 => Number of days Savan alone work to complete the work = 100/1 = 100 days.
Q: Sneha’s weight is 140% of Veena’s weight. Rina’s weight is 90% of Sana’s weight. Sana weighs twice as much as Veena. If Sneha’s weight is x% of Rina’s weight, then x is equal to: 2007 05b5cc699e4d2b4197774c750

Answer : 4. "700/9"
Explanation :
Answer: D) 700/9 Explanation: Let Veena's weight = 1 kg Sana's weight = 2 kg Sneha's weight = 1.4 kg Rina's weight = 1.8 kg Now,according to the given data in the question, 1.8x100 = 1.4 x = 1.4 × 1001.8 = 7009 = 77 79.
