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).

Q: An Engine length 1000 m moving at 10 m/s. A bird is flying from engine to end with 'x' m/s and coming back at '2x' m/s. Take total time of bird travelling as 187.5 s. Find x and 2x in km/hr ? 1770 0

Answer : 3. "31.4208 and 62.8416"
Explanation :

Answer: C) 31.4208 and 62.8416 Explanation: Birds speeds in mtrs/sec is 'x' and '2x' .While flying from Engine to end, relative speed = (x+10) m/secfrom end to engine, flying speed = (2x - 10) mtr/secso 1000/(x+10) + 1000/(2x-10) = 187.5 secssolving it, we getso x = 8.728 m/sec and 2x= 17.456 m/sec x = 31.4208 km/hr and 2x = 62.8416 km/hr.

Q: A quantity of tea is sold at Rs. 5.75 per kilogram. The total gain by selling the tea at this rate is Rs. 60. Find the quantity of tea being sold if a profit of 15% is made on the deal ? 1769 0

Answer : 2. "80 kgs"
Explanation :

Answer: B) 80 kgs Explanation: Say total cost price of tea is x.Then total profit at a rate of 15% is = (15x/100)According to question,15x/100 = 60so x = 400C.p of the tea is Rs. 400.so total selling price will be = (400+60) = Rs.460so the quantity of the tea will be = (460/5.75) = 80kg.

Answer : 4. "133"
Explanation :

Answer: D) 133 Explanation: Here among the given numbers, 3, 19, 67 are prime numbers. And 133 is not a prime number.   Hence, the odd number of the given numbers is 133.

Answer : 2. "Voltage"
Explanation :

Answer: B) Voltage Explanation: Electrical Pressure is also called as Voltage. Voltage is measured in Volts.   Volt : A unit of electrical pressure or Voltage is called Volt.   One volt is the amount of pressure required to cause one ampere of current to flow against one ohm of resistance.   Voltage is also referred to as Electromotive Force or Electrical Potential or Electrical Pressure.

Answer : 1. "a wave reflects upon itself"
Explanation :

Answer: A) a wave reflects upon itself Explanation: A standing wave also known as a stationary wave, is a wave in which its peaks or any other point on the wave do not move spatially. This phenomenon can occur because the medium is moving in the opposite direction to the wave, or it can arise in a stationary medium as a result of interference between two waves traveling in opposite directions. The most common cause of standing waves is the phenomenon of resonance, in which standing waves occur inside a resonator due to interference between waves reflected back and forth at the resonator's resonant frequency.   Hence, standing wave occurs when a wave reflects upon itself.

Answer : 4. "a, b & c follows"
Explanation :

Answer: D) a, b & c follows Explanation: Keeping in mind the safety and convenience of passengers, both 'a' and 'b' follow. 'c' clearly suggests a remedy to the problem and hence it also follows.

Answer : 3. "the chemical properties of their R groups"
Explanation :

Answer: C) the chemical properties of their R groups Explanation: Amino acids are organic compounds containing amine (-NH2) and carboxyl (-COOH) functional groups, along with a side chain (R group) specific to each amino acid.   Depending on the nature of the side chain groups, three classes of aminoacids can e distinguished: 1. Amino acids with H ond donor and acceptor groups. Histidine, lysine, aspartic acid, threonine,... 2. Amino acids with donor grups only. Arginine, tryptophan and cysteine. 3. Amino acids with acceptor groups only. Asparagine and glutamine.
