Answer : 1. "Air pollution"
Explanation :
Answer: A) Air pollution Explanation: 1. Lichens are plants that grow in exposed places such as rocks or tree bark. 2. Lichens are widely used as environmental indicators or bio-indicators. They can be used as air pollution indicators, especially of the concentration of sulfur-di-oxide in the atmosphere. 3. They need to be very good at absorbing water and nutrients to grow there.
Q: The letters of the word PROMISE are to be arranged so that three vowels should not come together. Find the number of ways of arrangements? 1910 05b5cc6ade4d2b4197774d0f9

Answer : 1. "4320"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 4320 Explanation: Given Word is PROMISE. Number of letters in the word PROMISE = 7 Number of ways 7 letters can be arranged = 7! ways Number of Vowels in word PROMISE = 3 (O, I, E) Number of ways the vowels can be arranged that 3 Vowels come together = 5! x 3! ways Now, the number of ways of arrangements so that three vowels should not come together = 7! - (5! x 3!) ways = 5040 - 720 = 4320.

90 D in a R A => 90 degrees in a Right Angle. This is similar to 26 L of the A = 26 Letters of the Alphabet 12 S of the Z.
Q: How does molecular shape affect polarity? 1599 05b5cc6ade4d2b4197774d0f3

Answer :
Explanation :
Polarity :: The polarity of a molecule defines its other physical properties such as melting point, boiling point, surface tension, vapor pressure etc... Simply, polarity occurs when the electron distribution in a molecule is asymmetric. This results in a net dipole moment in the molecule. One end of the molecule is charged negative while the other gets a positive charge. The polarization of a molecule greatly depends on the shape of the molecule. A diatomic molecule like HF mentioned above has no issue of shape. The net dipole moment is only due to the uneven distribution of electrons between the two atoms. However, when there are more than two atoms involved in making a bond, there are many complexities. The water molecule is of bent shape. Therefore, when the two pair of electrons shared by oxygen with two hydrogen atoms is pulled towards oxygen, the net dipole moment results in the direction of the oxygen atom. There is no other force to cancel out the resultant dipole moment. Hence, the water molecule is highly polar. Ammonia molecule is of a pyramid shape and the electronegative N atom pulls the electrons towards itself. The three N-H bonds are not in the same plane; hence the dipole moments created do not get canceled out. This makes ammonia a polar molecule. However, the dipole moments sometimes get canceled due to the shape of the molecules, making the molecule non-polar. Carbon dioxide is such a molecule.

Answer : 1. "Son-in-law"
Explanation :
Answer: A) Son-in-law Explanation: Given that If Theresa's daughter is my daughter's mother It has 2 ways of Answers such that it depends on the sex of me. That is Male or Female. 1) If I am a Male : My daughter's mother is my wife. My wife is Teresa's daughter => I am Teresa's Son-in-law. 2) If I am a Female : My daughter's mother is myself. Myself Teresa's daughter. => I am Teresa's Daughter. But in the given options only Son-in-law is available and daughter is not given. So, Son-in-law is correct.

Answer : 1. "Water"
Explanation :
Answer: A) Water Explanation: Here Grass is to Erosion and whereas Dam is to Water. Since Grass prevents Erosion similarly Dam prevents Water flow. Hence, Grass : Erosion :: Dam : Water.

Answer : 2. "FALSE"
Explanation :
Answer: B) FALSE Explanation: False. Cube is not a Polygon. Because polygon is a two dimensional figure and can be drawn on a flat surface whereas Cube is three dimensional figure and cannot be drawn on a flat surface.
