Answer : 4. "24 kmph"
Explanation :
Answer: D) 24 kmph Explanation: Let the total distance of the journey of a man = d kms Now, the average speed of the entire journey = dd120 + d120 + d40 = 24 kmph.

Answer : 3. "3/4"
Explanation :
Answer: C) 3/4 Explanation: Let A, B, C be the respective events of solving the problem and A , B, C be the respective events of not solving the problem. Then A, B, C are independent event ∴A, B, C are independent events Now, P(A) = 1/2 , P(B) = 1/3 and P(C)=1/4 PA=12, PB=23, PC= 34 ∴ P( none solves the problem) = P(not A) and (not B) and (not C) = PA∩B∩C = PAPBPC ∵ A, B, C are Independent = 12×23×34 = 14 Hence, P(the problem will be solved) = 1 - P(none solves the problem) = 1-14= 3/4

Explanation :
Answer: A) Electrons will be added to an atom starting from the lowest possible level or sublevel. Explanation: The Aufbau Principle states that in the ground state of an atom, an electron enters the orbital with lowest energy first and subsequent electrons are fed in the order of increasing energies.

Answer : 1. "148"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 148 Explanation: 1 x 1 + 1 x 1 = (1 + 1) = 2 2 x 2 + 2 x 2 = (4 + 4) = 8 8 x 3 + 3 x 3 = (24 + 9) = 33 33 x 4 + 4 x 4 = (132 + 16) = 148 148 x 5 + 5 x 5 = (740 + 25) = 765.
