Answer : 2. "106 kmph"
Explanation :

Answer: B) 106 kmph Explanation: As we know that Speed = Distance / Timefor average speed = Total Distance / Total Time TakenThus, Total Distance = 325 + 470 = 795 kmThus, Total Speed = 7.5 hrsAverage Speed = 795/7.5 => 106 kmph.

Answer : 2. "12"
Explanation :

Answer: B) 12 Explanation: Using BODMAS law, 3 x 3 + 3 - 3 + 3 = 3 x 3 = 12 = 12 + 3 - 3 + 3 =  9 + 3 = 12   Hence, 3 x 3 + 3 - 3 + 3 = 12.

Answer : 4. "8:3"
Explanation :

Answer: D) 8:3 Explanation: Let the man's rate upstream be x kmph and that downstream be y kmph. Then, distance covered upstream in 8 hrs 48 min = Distance covered downstream in 4 hrs. x x 8 4 = (y x 4) 5 44 x =4y 5  y = 11 x. 5  Required ratio = y + x : y - x 2 2    = 16x x 1 : 6x x 1 5 2 5 2    = 8 : 3 5 5    = 8 : 3.

Answer : 4. "67500 sq.m"
Explanation :

Answer: D) 67500 sq.m Explanation: Let the length be 'l' and breadth be 'b'. b = l × 3/4__________(a) 2(l+b) = 1050 l+b = 525___________(b) From equations (a) and (b), l = 300m, b = 225 m Area = l × b = 300 × 225 = 67500 sq.m.

Answer : 1. "32"
Explanation :

Answer: A) 32 Explanation: Let the first number be K and second number be LThen, 2K + 3L = 100.....(1)3K + 2L = 120.......(2)solving (1)&(2), we getK = 32 and L = 12 Hence the largest number is 32.

Answer : 2. "CF4"
Explanation :

Answer: B) CF4 Explanation: You have to consider three things. 1. First, are the bonds polar? Look at differences in electronegativity and if  it is >0.5, bonds are polar.   2. Second, does the molecule have unshared electron pairs? If so, they generally lead to a polar molecule.   3. Third, is the molecule symmetric? If so, then although the bonds may be polar, the symmetry cancels out the individual bond polarity and the molecule is non polar. CF4 follows all the rules above and has a symmetric distribution of charge, making it nonpolar. The others all have asymmetric charge distributions.   Hence, CF4 represents a Non-polar molecule.
