Answer : 4. "Rs. 40"
Explanation :

Answer: D) Rs. 40 Explanation: Let the cost price of the item = Rs. 50 Sold at 10% loss => for Rs. 50 loss  S.P = Rs. 45 From the  given data, 25/2 % gain if it is sold at Rs. 9 more 56.25 - 45 = 9 => 11.25 = 9 => 22.5 = 18 => 45 = 36 => 50 = ? => C.P = 50 x 3645 = 40   Hence, the Cost price of the item = Rs. 40.

Answer : 3. "P1V1 = P2V2"
Explanation :

Answer: C) P1V1 = P2V2 Explanation: Ideal Gas Law :: The Combined gas law or General Gas Equation is obtained by combining Boyle's Law, Charles' Law, and Gay-Lussac's Law. It shows the relationship between the pressure, volume, and temperature for a fixed mass (quantity) of gas: P1V1T1 = P2V2T2   Hence, the Boyle's law P1V1 = P2T2, relates to ideal gas equation.

Answer : 1. "Hertz"
Explanation :

Answer: A) Hertz Explanation: CPU speed is the central factor in a computer's performance. And this CPU speed depends on the processor in the CPU chip. In a computer, clock speed refers to the number of pulses per second generated by an oscillator that sets the tempo for the processor. Clock speed is usually measured in Hertz (Hz).   But now-a-days, a pure processor's performance is measured in MIPS (Millions of Instructions Per Second). As here in the question, how a processor's speed is measured is asked and it is Hertz.    Hence, Processor's speed of a computer is measured in Hertz(Hz) [MHz, GHz].

Answer : 2. "All living cells arise from pre-existing cells"
Explanation :

Answer: B) All living cells arise from pre-existing cells Explanation: All living cells arise from pre-existing cells is one component of the cell theory.   The Cell Theory is one of the basic principles of biology.   The Cell Theory states: 1. All living organisms are composed of cells. They may be unicellular or multicellular. 2. The cell is the basic unit of life. 3. Cells arise from pre-existing cells.

Answer : 4. "All the above"
Explanation :

Answer: D) All the above Explanation:    1) SO2                  2) CH2Cl2                3) PCl3 How to check the given molecules are polar or non polar : If the electronegativity of the two bonded atoms are different then the bond is polar. Although, some molecules contain polar bonds, the molecule may be non-polar. If the polarity of all the bonds present in the molecule are cancel each other then molecule is non-polar.   In the given options, SO2  is polar because the dipole moments on the O do not cancel. PCl3  is polar because the P-Cl bonds do not cancel out. CH2Cl2  polar because the C-Cl bonds do not cancel.   Hence, in brief, Polar molecules are molecules with net dipole due to the presence of partial positive and partial negative charge. For example, water is a polar molecule that has partial positive and partial negative charge on it. CO2 is a non polar compound.   Therefore, all the given options SO2, CH2Cl2 and PCl3 are Polar molecules.
