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.

Answer : 4. "0.125"
Explanation :

Answer: D) 0.125 Explanation: Here  18 in decimal means 8th part in 1. We know that 110 = 0.1 Then,   18 = ? => ? = 18 x 0.1110= 0.1 x 108= 0.5418= 0.125

Answer : 2. "40"
Explanation :

Answer: B) 40 Explanation: The third proportional of two numbers p and q is defined to be that number r such that p : q = q : r.   Here, required third proportional of 10 & 20, and let it be 'a' => 10 : 20 = 20 : a 10a = 20 x 20 => a = 40   Hence, third proportional of 10 & 20 is 40.

Q: A take twice as much time as B or thrice as much time to finish a piece of work. Working together, they can finish the work in 2 days. B can do the work alone in  ? 1520 0

Answer : 3. "6 hrs"
Explanation :

Answer: C) 6 hrs Explanation: Suppose A, B and C take x, x/2 and x/3 respectively to finish the work.  Then, (1/x + 2/x + 3/x) = 1/2  => 6/x = 1/2      => x = 12  So, B takes 6 hours to finish the work.

Answer : 1. "36 & 90"
Explanation :

Answer: A) 36 & 90 Explanation: the next 2 number in series we need to divide the series into 2 different series First series : 4 , 6, 12, 30 ?? Second Series : 12,18,26, ?? So we need to see for the pattern for those series in order to find the next two number , we can do this by finding the difference or division , multiplication logic whatever may apply :   Pattern of Series 1 :   6 divide 4 : 1.5 Next number i.e 12 divided by 6=2 Next number i.e 30 divided by 12 =2.5 So series is going in multiples of 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3 , so on So first series will look like 4 , 6, 12, 30, 30x3 =90   Pattern of Series 2 : 12,18,26, ??   Its simple Adding numbers with iterative logic (i.e 6, 8, then followed by 10, 12) Series will be like 12,18,26,36.   For the next two numbers : Series will be like 4, 12, 6, 18, 12, 26, 30, 36, 90
