Answer : 2. "105"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 105 Explanation: First line will cut all other 14, similarly second will cut 13, and so onTotal = 14+13+12+11+10+9+8+7+6+5+4+3+2+1 = 105.

Answer : 1. "43929"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 43929 Explanation: Number of words with 5 letters from given 9 alphabets formed = 95 Number of words with 5 letters from given 9 alphabets formed such that no letter is repeated is = 9P5 Number of words can be formed which have at least one letter repeated = 95 - 9P5 = 59049 - 15120 = 43929

Answer : 3. "9 & 21"
Explanation :
Answer: C) 9 & 21 Explanation: Let the two numbers be x and y Given x : y = 3 : 7 .....(1) Now, x+6 : y+6 = 5 : 9 .....(2) From (1), x = 3y/7 From (2), 5y - 9x = 24 => 5y - 9(3y/7) = 24 => y = 21 => From(1), x = 9 Hence, the two numbers be 9 and 21

Answer : 1. "Weight"
Explanation :
Answer: A) Weight Explanation: An intensive property is a physical quantity whose value does not depend on the amount of the substance for which it is measured. For example, the temperature of a system in thermal equilibrium is the same as the temperature of any part of it. If the system is divided the temperature of each subsystem is identical. The same applies to the density of a homogeneous system, if the system is divided in half, the mass and the volume change in the identical ratio and the density remains unchanged. Additionally, the boiling point of a substance is another example of an intensive property. For example, the boiling point for water is 100 °C at a pressure of one atmosphere, a fact which remains true regardless of quantity.

Answer : 2. "7.5"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 7.5 Explanation: The given number series follows a pattern that 11 11 - 5.5 = 5.5 5.5 + 4.5 = 10 10 - 3.5 = 6.5 6.5 + 2.5 = 9 9 - 1.5 = 7.5 Hence, the next number in the given number series is 7.5.
