Answer : 4. "Covalent bonds"
Explanation :
Answer: D) Covalent bonds Explanation: Deoxyribose, which is a pentose, and a phosphate group are the two molecules together form the two sides of the DNA i.e, A sugar (deoxyribose) and a phosphate. DNA is a double-stranded molecule twisted into a helix (think of a spiral staircase). Each spiraling strand, comprised of a sugar-phosphate backbone and attached bases, is connected to a complementary strand by non-covalent hydrogen bonding between paired bases. The bases are adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C) and guanine (G). A and T are connected by two hydrogen bonds. G and C are connected by three hydrogen bonds.

Answer : 1. "a wave reflects upon itself"
Explanation :
Answer: A) a wave reflects upon itself Explanation: A standing wave also known as a stationary wave, is a wave in which its peaks or any other point on the wave do not move spatially. This phenomenon can occur because the medium is moving in the opposite direction to the wave, or it can arise in a stationary medium as a result of interference between two waves traveling in opposite directions. The most common cause of standing waves is the phenomenon of resonance, in which standing waves occur inside a resonator due to interference between waves reflected back and forth at the resonator's resonant frequency. Hence, standing wave occurs when a wave reflects upon itself.
Q: The marked price of an article is increased by 25% and the selling price is increased by 16.66%, then the amount of profit doubles. If the original marked price be Rs. 400 which is greater than the corresponding cost price by 33.33%, what is the increased selling price? 4476 05b5cc69ae4d2b4197774c755

Answer : 2. "Rs. 420"
Explanation :
Answer: B) Rs. 420 Explanation: As given in the question, Marked price is 25% more than the Cost price. => C.P of the article = 34 x 400 = 300 Now, Let the original S.P of the article be Rs. P Now the new S.P = P + 16.666 +13.333300 x P => S.P = 7P6 According to the question, 7P6 - 300 = 2P - 300 => 5P = 1800 => P = Rs. 360 Hence, the increased S.P = 360 x 7/6 = Rs. 420.

Answer : 4. "700/9"
Explanation :
Answer: D) 700/9 Explanation: Let Veena's weight = 1 kg Sana's weight = 2 kg Sneha's weight = 1.4 kg Rina's weight = 1.8 kg Now,according to the given data in the question, 1.8x100 = 1.4 x = 1.4 × 1001.8 = 7009 = 77 79.
