Answer :
Explanation :

Let the two digits be x & y From given data in the question, we get x + y = 3(x - y) x + y = 3x - 3y => 2x = 4y x/y = 2/1 For having the 2:1, numbers satisfying are 12, 21, 24, 42, 36, 63, 48, 84 From this 36 is eleminated because it is a perfect square and no others are prime or perfect squares. Hence, there exists 7 such 2-digit numbers => 12, 21, 24, 42, 63, 48, 84.

Answer : 2. "Lohit River"
Explanation :

Answer: B) Lohit River Explanation: The Prime Minister Narendra Modi has inaugurated India’s longest bridge “Dhola-Sadia Bridge” in Assam on May 26, 2017. This three lane, 9.15 kilometre bridge has been built over river Lohit, a tributary of the Brahmaputra river. It links Dhola in Assam to Sadia. The bridge will reduce the distance from Rupai on NH- 37 in Assam to Meka-Roing on NH-52 in Arunachal Pradesh by 165 KM. The travel time between the two places will come down from the current six hours to just one hour, a total five hour reduction. This will result in saving of petrol and diesel worth Rs 10 Lakh per day. It will also cater to the strategic requirements of the country in the border areas of Arunachal Pradesh, besides facilitating numerous hydro power projects coming up in the state.

Answer : 4. "a > b"
Explanation :

Answer: D) a > b Explanation: From solving 1 and 2 we get,   1. 5a(a-3)-3(a-3) = 0   (5a-3)(a-3) = 0   a = 3 or 3/5   2.    3b(b+2)-1(b+2) = 0   b = -2 or b = 1/3   Here when a = 3, a > b for b = -2 and b = 1/3   when a = 3/5. a > b for b = -2 and b = 1/3.   Hence, it is clear that a > b.
