Answer :
Explanation :

Out of 4 fruits, any 3 are chosen by 4 families.So the combinations areApple - A Cherries - C Banana - B Grapes - G1) ACB2) ACG3) BCG4) GAB By 2nd condition, Miller family uses either i)ACB or ii)ACGNow we have Robin, Mandy and Miller who uses apples (ACB,ACG,GAB)while Miller and Mandy both uses A and C. That leaves GAB for Robin. By 3rd condition Flure uses either C or G. So if we leave out the terms containing both C and G, we are left with ACB and GAB Now, for the time being let's suppose Robin is not a Flure.So ACB is taken by Flure. So ACG has to be Miller and that leaves BCG to be Clark. So we get Robin - Jacob(GAB). By 4th and 2nd conditions Erica and Mandy belong to the first two. That leaves Stacy - Clark(BCG). By 2nd condition Mandy is not a Miller, so we get Mandy - Flure(ACB) and that leaves Erica - Miller(ACG).

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 : 2. "41"
Explanation :

Answer: B) 41 Explanation: Given P = 54 and M = 80 According to the question, Let ‘A’ years ago, M = 3P => M - A/P - A = 3 => 80 - A = 3(54 - A) => 80 - A = 162 - 3A => 2A = 82 => A = 41 Therefore, A = 41 years ago Sweety’s mother was 3 times of Sweety’s age. Hence, at the age S = 13 and M = 39.
