Answer : 2. "105/103"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 105/103 Explanation: As given equal amounts of alloys are melted, let it be 1 kg. Required ratio of gold and silver = 513 + 58813 + 38 = 105103. Hence, ratio of gold and silver in the resulting alloy = 105/103.

Answer : 1. "double fertilization"
Explanation :
Answer: A) double fertilization Explanation: In flowering plants one sperm nucleus fertilizes the egg and the other sperm nucleus fuses with two other nuclei found within the ovule, thus forming triploid endosperm. Hence, double fertilization is unique to flowering plants.

Answer : 2. "109.9446"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 109.9446 Explanation: The term gram formula mass is synonymous with molecular mass. So, to get this, we must add molar mass of all the elements in this compound. Given compound is Lithium Sulphate - Li2SO4 Elemental calculation :: Li - Lithium - 6.941 - 2 - 13.88200 %S - Sulfur - 32.065 - 1 - 32.065 %O - Oxygen - 15.9994 - 4 - 63.9976 % Now, total = 12.6264 + 29.1647 + 58.2090 = 109.9446 Hence, the gram formula mass of Li2SO4 = 109.9446.

Answer : 3. "Thunder"
Explanation :
Answer: C) Thunder Explanation: The Sound Following the flash of lighting is because of Thunder. Lightning is seen earlier than thunder because light travels much faster than sound. The roar of thunder is the result of a shock wave produced when lightning super-heats the air through which it passes, causing that air to expand very rapidly. This rapid expansion of air creates a shock wave that travels outward at close to the speed of sound.
Q: Important Time and Distance formulas with examples. 1539 05b5cc678e4d2b4197774c1b2

Answer :
Explanation :
1. How to find Speed(s) if distance(d) & time(t) is given: Speed (S) = Distance (D)Time (T) Ex: Find speed if a person travels 4 kms in 2 hrs? Speed = D/T = 4/2 = 2 kmph. 2. Similarly, we can find distance (d) if speed (s) & time (t) is given by Distance (D) = Speed (S) x Time (T) Ex : Find distance if a person with a speed of 2 kmph in 2 hrs? Distance D = S X T = 2 x 2 = 4 kms. 3. Similarly, we can find time (t) if speed (s) & distance (d) is given by Time (T) = Distance (D)Speed (S) Ex : Find in what time a person travels 4 kms with a speed of 2 kmph? Time T = D/S = 4/2 = 2 hrs. 4. How to convert km/hr into m/sec : P km/hr = P x 518 m/sec Ex : Convert 36 kmph into m/sec? 36 kmph = 36 x 5/18 = 10 m/sec 5. How to convert m/sec into km/hr : P m/sec = P x 185 kmph. Ex : Convert 10 m/sec into km/hr? 10 m/sec = 10 x 18/5 = 36 kmph. 6. If the ratio of the speeds of A and B is a:b, then the ratio of the times taken by them to cover the same distance is b : a. 7. Suppose a man covers a certain distance at x km/ hr and an equal distance at y km/hr . Then, the average speed during the whole journey is 2xyx+y km/hr.
