Answer : 2. "3' > 2' > 1'> NH3"
Explanation :

Answer: B) 3' > 2' > 1'> NH3 Explanation: The order of basicity in ammonia is different in gaseous phases vs. aqueous phases due to hydrogen bonding.   So in gaseous phases it's the well known: 3' > 2' > 1'> NH3. Just so we're on the same page, this is due to the inductive effect of electron donating alkyl groups--they destabilize the lone pair on nitrogen atom, making nitrogen more basic.   But in aqueous phase, the order is slightly different: 2'> 1'> 3' > NH3.

Answer : 1. "TRUE"
Explanation :

Answer: A) TRUE Explanation: Yes, a square is a rhombus. But a rhombus is not a square unless the interior angles are at right angles.   We know that, a square is a quadrilateral with all sides equal and all the interior angles are 90 deg i.e, at right angles.  Whereas a rhombus is also a quadrilateral with all sides equal but the interior angles are not at right angles. Hence, if the interior angles of a rhombus are all at right angles (90 deg), then it is square.

Answer : 2. "4 kmph"
Explanation :

Answer: B) 4 kmph Explanation: Let the distance in one direction = k kms Speed in still water = 4.5 kmph Speed of river = 1.5 Hence, speed in upstream = 4.5 - 1.5 = 3 kmph Speed in downstream = 4.5 + 1.5 = 6 kmph Time taken by Rajesh to row upwards = k/3 hrs Time taken by Rajesh to row downwards = k/6 hrs Now, required Average speed =Total distanceTotal speed = 2kk3 + k6 = 2k x 186k + 3k = 4 kmph    Therefore, the average speed of the whole journey = 4kmph.

Answer : 4. "140 mts"
Explanation :

Answer: D) 140 mts Explanation: Speeds of two trains = 30 kmph and 58 kmph => Relative speed = 58 - 30 = 28 kmph = 28 x 5/18 m/s = 70/9 m/s Given a man takes time to cross length of faster train = 18 sec   Now, required Length of faster train = speed x time = 70/9  x  18 = 140 mts.

Answer : 1. "1 TB"
Explanation :

Answer: A) 1 TB Explanation: 1 TB  >  1 GB  >  1 MB  >  1 KB   1 Tb (Tera Byte) = 1024 GB 1 GB (Giga Byte) = 1024 MB 1 MB (Mega Byte) = 1024 KB 1 KB (Kilo Byte) = 1024 Bytes 1 Byte = 8 Bit   Hence, largest unit of information is TB (Tera Byte) and smallest unit of information is Bit.
