Answer : 2. "138"
Explanation :

Answer: B) 138 Explanation: The gram formula mass of a compound is nothing but the molar mass. The molar mass of K2CO3 (Potassium Carbonate) is given by Atomic weights of individual elements are   K (Potassium) = 39 g C (Carbon) = 12 g O (Oxygen) = 16 g   Hence, that of K2CO3 = 39(2) + 12 + 16(3) = 78 + 12 + 48 = 138.

Answer :
Explanation :

Resistivity : Resistivity is a measure of the resistance to the flow of electrons.  Conductivity : Conductivity is just the inverse of resistivity, σ = 1/ρ, where σ is conductivity and ρ is resistivity.   Example: Think of a pipe and water, the bigger the pipe, the easier water can flow and thus the lower the resistance.

Answer : 3. "12.5 cm"
Explanation :

Answer: C) 12.5 cm Explanation: Let the required height of the building be x meter More shadow length, More height(direct proportion) Hence we can write as (shadow length) 40.25 : 28.75 :: 17.5 : x⇒ 40.25 × x = 28.75 × 17.5⇒ x = 28.75 × 17.5/40.25= 2875 × 175/40250= 2875 × 7/1610= 2875/230= 575/46= 12.5 cm
