Answer : 3. "40"
Explanation :
Answer: C) 40 Explanation: Let distance = x km and usual rate = y kmph.Then, x/y - x/(y+3) = 40/60 --> 2y (y+3) = 9x ----- (i)Also, x/(y-2) - x/y = 40/60 --> y(y-2) = 3x -------- (ii)On dividing (i) by (ii), we get: x = 40 km.

Answer : 2. "Specific heat"
Explanation :
Answer: B) Specific heat Explanation: The usual cause of sea breeze is the difference in specific heat capacity between land and water Land heats and cools more quickly than water. What is the cause of a sea breeze? The air over the land is warmed and rises, to a greater temperature than that over the sea. This produces a convection current, with cooler air flowing in from over the sea to replace that rising from the land. At night the land cools more than the sea, so the action reverses to produce a land-breeze, blowing off the land.

Answer : 3. "0.67"
Explanation :
Answer: C) 0.67 Explanation: To convert a fraction into decimal, just take the number on top which we called the numerator and divide it by the number at the bottom which we called the denominator. 2/3 How it comes : 2 ÷ 3 = 0 bring down the decimal point. 20 ÷ 3 = 6 and carry the remainder 2 to make 20 20 ÷ 3 = 6 and carry the remainder 2 to make 20 20 ÷ 3 = 6 and carry the remainder 2 to make 20 etc... This gives the recurring decimal 0.6666... If we round off to two decimals , then it becomes 0.67. Hence, decimal fraction of 2/3 = 0.67.

Air can be separated into its components like N2, O2 , Argon and CO2 by the process of fractional distillation of liquid air. 2. Air shows the properties of all the gases present in the atmosphere. For example : Oxygen is good Supporter of combustion. Hence air also is good supporter of combustion. 3. Air does not have a fixed formula. 4. Air has a variable composition because air at different places contains different amount of gases. 5. Heat or Light energy is neither absorbed nor released when air is prepared physical by mixing required amount of gases . 6. Mixture does have fixed boiling Point. It holds good in case of liquid air.
