Answer : 3. "12 kmph"
Explanation :

Answer: C) 12 kmph Explanation: The distance is constant in this case. Let the time taken for travel with a speed of 10 kmph be 't'. Now the speed of 15 kmph is 3/2 times the speed of 10 kmph. Therefore, time taken with the speed of 15 kmph will be 2t/3 (speed is inversely proportional to time) Extra time taken = t - 2t/3 = t/3 => 1pm - 11am = 2hrs => t/3 = 2h => t = 6 hrs. Now, Distance = speed x time = 10 x 6 = 60 kms Time he takes to reach at noon = 6 - 1 = 5 hrs Now, Speed = 60/5 = 12 kmph.

Answer : 2. "Sun"
Explanation :

Answer: B) Sun Explanation: The water cycle is a term for the movement of water between the Earth's surface, the sky and underground. Water evaporates due to heat from the sun. Hence, the water cycle is driven primarily by the energy from the sun. This solar energy drives the cycle by evaporating water from the oceans, lakes, rivers, and even the soil. Other water moves from plants to the atmosphere through the process of transpiration.

Answer : 3. "11"
Explanation :

Answer: C) 11 Explanation: Let the number of sides be n.  The number of diagonals is given by nC2 - n   Therefore, nC2 - n = 44, n>0  nC2 - n = 44 n2 - 3n - 88 = 0  n2 -11n + 8n - 88 = 0   n(n - 11) + 8(n - 11) = 0  n = -8 or n = 11.   As n>0, n will not be -8. Therefore, n=11.
