Answer : 4. "3:16 4/11"
Explanation :

Answer: D) 3:16 4/11 Explanation: Coincide means 00  angle. This can be calculated using the formulafor time A to B means  [11m/2 - 30 (A)] Here m gives minutes after A the both hands coincides. Here A = 3, B = 4 0 =11m/2 –30 × 311m = 90 × 2 = 180m= 180/11 = 16 4/11 So time = 3 : 16 4/11

Answer : 1. "Quartz Glass(Sio2)"
Explanation :

Answer: A) Quartz Glass(Sio2) Explanation: An amorphous or non-crystalline solid is a solid that lacks the long-range order that is characteristic of a crystal. In Brief, An amorphous solid is any noncrystalline solid in which the atoms and molecules are not organized in a definite lattice pattern. Such solids include glass, plastic, and gel. Quartz glass (SiO2) is an amorphous solid due to its short range order of constituent particles. Note Quartz is a crystalline solid while quartz glass is an amorphous solid.

Answer : 1. "1460"
Explanation :

Answer: A) 1460 Explanation: Days in 4 years =>  Let the first year is Normal year i.e, its not Leap year. A Leap Years occurs once for every 4 years. 4 years => 365 + 365 + 365 + 366(Leap year) 4 years => 730 + 731 = 1461   Therefore, Number of Days in 4 Years = 1461 Days.

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.

Q: If 6 (P's Capital ) = 8 ( Q's Capital ) = 12 ( R's Capital ) , then out of the total profit of Rs 4650 , R will receive ? 1974 0

Answer : 1. "Rs. 1033.33"
Explanation :

Answer: A) Rs. 1033.33 Explanation: Let P's capital = p, Q's capital = q and R's capital = r.Then 6p = 8q = 12r=> 3p = 4q = 6r=>q = 3p/4r = 3p/6 = p/2P : Q : R = p : 3p/4 : p/2= 4 : 3 : 2R's share = 4650 * (2/9) = 150*6 = Rs. 1033.33.

Q: How long will it take for two pipes A and B to fill an empty cistern if they worked alternately for an hour each ? A. Working alone, Pipe A can fill the cistern in 40 hoursB. Pipe B is one third as efficient as Pipe A 1973 0

Answer : 3. "Both (A) and (B) are sufficient"
Explanation :

Answer: C) Both (A) and (B) are sufficient Explanation: From statement A, we know that Pipe A can fill the tank in 40 hours. However, this information is not sufficient as we do not have the data for Pipe B. Hence, statement A alone cannot answer the given question.From statement B, we know that Pipe B is one third as efficient as pipe A. However, we do not know the rate at which Pipe A fills the tank. Hence, we will not be able to find the rate at which Pipe B fills the cistern. Therefore, statement B alone is not sufficient to answer the question.Now, if we combine the two statements, we know that Pipe A take 40 hours to fill the cistern.Pipe B takes 120 hours to fill the cistern.If they worked alternately, then either Pipe A could have started the cycle or Pipe B could have started the cycle.If Pipe A started the sequence of filling alternately, then at the end of two hours, the two pipes together would have filled 1/40 + 1/120 = 1/30  th of the tank in an hour. Or the cistern will fill in 30 hours.If Pipe B started the sequence, then at the end of 2 hours, the two pipes together would have filled 1/120 + 1/40 = 1/30 th of the tank in an hour. Or the cistern will fill in 30 hours.As the answer obtained irrespective of which pipe started the sequence is the same, the correct answer is (3) - i.e., both the statement are sufficient to answer the question.
