Answer : 3. "60 kmph"
Explanation :
Answer: C) 60 kmph Explanation: Average speed = Total distance / Total time. Total distance traveled by Joel = Distance covered in the first 3 hours + Distance covered in the next 5 hours. Distance covered in the first 3 hours = 3 x 60 = 180 milesDistance covered in the next 5 hours = 5 x 24 = 120 miles Therefore, total distance traveled = 180 + 120 = 300 miles. Total time taken = 3 + 5 = 8 hours. Average speed = 300/8 = 37.5 mph. we know that 1 mile = 1.6 kms => 37.5 miles = 37.5 x 1.6 = 60 kms Average speed in Kmph = 60 kmph.
Q: A wholesale dealer allows a discount of 20 % on the marked price to the retailer. The retailer sells at 5% below the marked price. If the customer pays Rs.19 for an article, what profit is made by the retailer on it ? 2140 05b5cc72ce4d2b4197774f7ab

Answer : 2. "Rs. 3"
Explanation :
Answer: B) Rs. 3 Explanation: Let wholesaler dealers marked price = 100%, Retailer's C.P = 80% And the retailer sells at 5% less than the marked price => S.P = 95%If S.P of 95% of the retailer costs Rs.19 to customer,so its C.P of 80% will cost 80 x 19/95 = 16 Profit made by the retailer = 19-16 = Rs.3

Answer : 4. "39"
Explanation :
Answer: D) 39 Explanation: Let the two-digit number be 10a + ba + b = 12 --- (1)If a>b, a - b = 6If b>a, b - a = 6If a - b = 6, adding it to equation (1), we get2a = 18 => a =9so b = 12 - a = 3Number would be 93.if b - a = 6, adding it to the equation (1), we get2b = 18 => b = 9a = 12 - b = 3.Number would be 39.There fore, Number would be 39 or 93.

Answer : 4. "geothermal energy"
Explanation :
Answer: D) geothermal energy Explanation: Based on conventionality in deriving energy, energy sources could be classified as Conventional :: coal, oil, hydro, nuclear, etc... sources which can be used up or exhaustible. (and) Non - conventional :: solar, wind, tidal, geothermal, biogas, etc... sources which are not exhausted. Among the given options, Geothermal energy is the alternative energy source among all the choices that are given in the question, that is exhaustible.

Answer : 4. "Inner core"
Explanation :
Answer: D) Inner core Explanation: "Pressure" is the ratio of mass to area. So, for any given area, the one with more mass pressing on it will experience a higher pressure. As you go more deeply into the atmosphere OR earth itself, you are putting more and more mass over you. For the same unit area therefore, the pressure, (mass/area) increases. Hence, the lowest layer will always have the highest pressure i.e, inner core.

Answer : 1. "0.625"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 0.625 Explanation: 5/8 is Nothing but to divide 5 into 8 parts. As 5 is smaller than 8, the quotient starts with a decimal point to make 5 as 50 to be divisible by 8. (0.) Now 50 goes for 6 times in 8 leaving a remainder 2. (0.6) Again 2 is smaller than 8, As it already has decimal point in the quotient, now 2 becomes 20. Now 20 goes for 2 times in 8 leaving a remainder 4. (0.62) Again 4 is smaller than 8, As it already has decimal point in the quotient, now 4 becomes 40. Now 40 goes for 5 times in 8 leaving a remainder 0. (0.625) Therefore, the decimal value of 58 is 0.625. Now find a decimal value of 1117 and Discuss your at Discuss.

Answer : 4. "Barometer"
Explanation :
Answer: D) Barometer Explanation: Air Pressure can be defined as the pressure of air in the earth's atmosphere. It reaches a maximum of about 100,000 Pa near sea level and decreases as altitude increases. The barometer is an instrument which is used for measuring Air pressure. Physics instruments and their uses: Barkometer - - - Tanning liquors used in tanning leather Bolometer - - - Electromagnetic radiation Spectrometer - - - Properties of light.
