Answer : 3. "80"
Explanation :
Answer: C) 80 Explanation: Let marks obtained by S = M R's marks = 0.80M Q's marks = 1.25 (0.80M) P's marks = (0.90) (1.25) (0.80M) = 0.9M But 0.9M = 360 M = ? M = 400 Hence % of marks obtained by S = 400/500 x 100 = 80%.
Q: 640 ml of a mixture contains milk and water in ratio 6:2. How much of the water is to be added to get a new mixture containing half milk and half water ? 1750 05b5cc731e4d2b4197774f7e7

Answer : 2. "320 ml"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 320 ml Explanation: Here total parts of milk and water in the solution is 6+2 = 8 parts. 1part = 640/8 = 80 old mixture contains 6parts of milk and 2 parts of water(6:2). To get new mixture containing half milk and half water, add 4parts of water to the old mixture then 6:(2+4) to make the ratio same. i.e, 4 x 80 = 320 ml.

Answer : 1. "Non-elastic effects"
Explanation :
Answer: A) Non-elastic effects Explanation: Rolling friction or rolling drag is the force resisting the motion when a body rolls on a surface. It is mainly caused by non-elastic effects, that is, not all the energy needed for deformation of the wheel, roadbed, etc... is recovered when the pressure is removed. Another cause of rolling resistance lies in the slippage between the wheel and the surface, which dissipates energy.

Answer : 1. "Only a is sufficient"
Explanation :
Answer: A) Only a is sufficient Explanation: The sum of square of two no is 116 i.e no lie 1-11, because 11x11 =121 which is greater than 116 again after cheaking all possible pair of no only 4 and 10 satisfy this condsn , again the progression is of positive integer so 10 cant not be 1st termso the 1st term is 4,but from the 2nd we cant able to find the 1st term so only 1st statement is sufficient to answer the question

Answer : 2. "Gasoline additive"
Explanation :
Answer: B) Gasoline additive Explanation: Tetraethyl lead is a highly toxic compound used as a gasoline additive. Tetraethyl lead abbreviated as TEL, is an organo lead compound with the formula (CH3CH2)4Pb. It is a petro-fuel additive which in turn caused increased vehicle performance. This is also used as an antiknock agent in gasoline and jet fuels. Tetraethyl lead is absorbed rapidly by the skin, the lungs, and the gastrointestinal tract. It is converted to triethyl lead, which might be responsible for its toxicity.

Answer: C) 6 days Explanation: From the given data, 12 children 16 days work,One child’s one day work = 1/192. 8 adults 12 days work,One adult’s one day’s work = 1/96. Work done in 3 days = ((1/96) x 16 x 3) = 1/2 Remaining work = 1 – 1/2 = 1/2 (6 adults+ 4 children)’s 1 day’s work = 6/96 + 4/192 = 1/12 1/12 work is done by them in 1 day. 1/2 work is done by them in 12 x (1/2) = 6 days.
