Answer : 4. "Covalent- network"
Explanation :
Answer: D) Covalent- network Explanation: Graphite is a covalent-network type of crystalline solid. There are two main categories of solids. 1. Crystalline solids and 2. Amorphous solids. Crystalline solids are those in which the atoms, ions, or molecules that make up the solid exist in a regular, well-defined arrangement. There are four types of crystalline solids : Ionic solids :— Made up of positive and negative ions and held together by electrostatic attractions. They’re characterized by very high melting points and brittleness and are poor conductors in the solid state. An example of an ionic solid is table salt, NaCl. Molecular solids :— Made up of atoms or molecules held together by London dispersion forces, dipole-dipole forces, or hydrogen bonds. Characterized by low melting points and flexibility and are poor conductors. An example of a molecular solid is sucrose. Covalent-network (also called atomic) solids :— Made up of atoms connected by covalent bonds; the intermolecular forces are covalent bonds as well. Characterized as being very hard with very high melting points and being poor conductors. Examples of this type of solid are diamond and graphite, and the fullerenes. As you can see below, graphite has only 2-D hexagonal structure and therefore is not hard like diamond. The sheets of graphite are held together by only weak London forces! Metallic solids :— Made up of metal atoms that are held together by metallic bonds. Characterized by high melting points, can range from soft and malleable to very hard, and are good conductors of electricity.

Answer : 1. "15"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 15 Explanation: Using BODMAS Rule, First solve division, mutiplication and Addition So here 10/2 = 5 Then 2 x 5 = 10 Now, 5 + 10 = 15. Hence, 5 + 2 x 10/2 = 15.

Answer : 3. "Both A & B"
Explanation :
Answer: C) Both A & B Explanation: Geothermal power plants are used in order to generate electricity by the use of geothermal energy (the Earth's internal thermal energy). They essentially work the same as a coal or nuclear power plant, the main difference being the heat source. Geothermal power plants use hydrothermal resources that have both water (hydro) and heat (thermal). Geothermal power plants require high-temperature (300°F to 700°F) hydrothermal resources that come from either dry steam wells or from hot water wells.
Q: In a joint family, there are 24 members whose age is decreased by 4 months, when one girl aged 24 years is replaced by a new boy. Find the age of the new boy ? 1792 05b5cc6c5e4d2b4197774dd73

Answer : 4. "16 years"
Explanation :
Answer: D) 16 years Explanation: Age of new boy = (Age of moved girl) – (Number of family members × Decreased in average) = 24 – 24×4/12 = 24 – 8 = 16 years.

Answer : 3. "Amazon"
Explanation :
Answer: C) Amazon Explanation: The U.S. e-commerce giant, Amazon has been awarded a patent for launching a giant flying warehouse that would acts as a launch pad for drones to deliver items within minutes.The patent reveals plans for setting up an “Airborne Fulfillment Center” (AFC) such as an Airship or Blimp, floating at an altitude of around 45,000 and stocked with lots of products especially in area where the demand for certain items is expected to be high. When a customer places an order, a drone or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) will fly down and deliver the package. The patent claims that this would require little or no power because the drone would be gliding down rather than having to take off and land.

Answer : 2. "K"
Explanation :
Answer: B) K Explanation: For neutral atoms, the periodic trends in atomic size can be described like this Atomic size decreases when going from left to right across a period,Atomic size increases when going from top to bottom down a group. Let's use these trends to try and figure out which atom would have the largest radius. If you look at elements that are located in the same group, potassium will have a larger atomic radius when compared with sodium. Likewise, bromine will have a larger atomic radius when compared with chlorine. Now focus on potassium and bromine. Since potassium is located at the start of period 3, and bromine at the end of the same period, potassium will have a larger atomic radius than bromine, and thus the largest atomic radius of the four given atoms.
Q: A man sell 35 waffers for Rs. 15 each and loses Rs. 40.4. If he sells 35 waffers for Rs. 18, how much does he loss or gain ? 1790 15b5cc74ae4d2b4197774fa95

Answer : 1. "Rs. 64"
Explanation :
Answer: A) Rs. 64 Explanation: Given Loss = Rs. 40.4We know loss = cost price - selling price 40.4 = CP - 35(15)=> CP = 40.4 + 525=> CP = Rs. 565.4Now the New selling price of waffer is Rs. 18=> SP = 35(18) = 630Now Gain = SP - CP = 630 -565.4 = Rs. 64.6.
