Answer : 1. "29"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 29 Explanation: Let the five consecutive odd numbers be x-4, x-2, x, x+2, x+4 According to the question, Difference between square of the average of first two odd number and the of the average last two odd numbers is 396 i.e, x+3 and x-3 ⇒x + 32 - x - 32 = 396⇒ x2 + 9 + 6x - x2 + 6x - 9 = 396⇒ 12x = 396⇒ x = 33 Hence, the smallest odd number is 33 - 4 = 29.

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 :
Explanation :
DRAM is a Volatile random-access memory (VRAM). Volatile random-access memory (VRAM) is random-access memory that retains its information when power is turned on. Examples of volatile memory are primary storage (typically dynamic RAM, DRAM), and fast CPU cache memory (typically static RAM, SRAM, which is fast but energy-consuming and offer lower memory capacity per area unit than DRAM). Non-volatile random-access memory (NVRAM) is random-access memory that retains its information when power is turned off. Examples of non-volatile memory are flash memory (used as secondary memory) and ROM, PROM, EPROM and EEPROM memory (used for storing firmware such as BIOS).

Answer : 4. "Checks and Balances"
Explanation :
Answer: D) Checks and Balances Explanation: A procedure or method called Checks and Balances stops one branch of government from becoming too powerful. In the United States, there are three branches of government: The Executive, Legislative, and Judicial. Each has its own responsibilities and at the same time they work together to make the country run smoothly and to assure that the rights of citizens are not ignored or disallowed. There is a clear separation of powers between them. Checks and Balances limit the power within each branch. Each branch can stop and/or override processes within other branches in manners that are outlined in federal laws, regulations, and the constitution. This way, their powers are balanced because the branches of government have the responsibility to check each other.
