Answer: B) Rs. 441 Explanation: Given principal amount = Rs. 8000 Time = 3yrs Rate = 5% C.I for 3 yrs = 8000 x 105100 x 105100 x 105100 - 8000= Rs. 1261   Now, C.I for 2 yrs = 8000 x 105100 x 105100= Rs. 820    Hence, the required difference in C.I is 1261 - 820 = Rs. 441

Answer: B) north-south position between the poles Explanation: Lines of latitude measure north-south position between the poles.   Lines of latitude are imaginary reference lines that describe how far north or south a location on the Earth is from the Equator. The equator is defined as 0 degrees, the North Pole is 90 degrees north, and the South Pole is 90 degrees south. Lines of latitude are all parallel to each other, thus they are often referred to as parallels.

A Secret.

SHORT is the required five letter word, which becomes SHORTER when two letters 'ER' are added to it.

Answer: B) 37.5 Explanation: Angle between hands of a clock   When the minute hand is behind the hour hand, the angle between the two hands at M minutes past H 'o clock   => 30H-M5+M2 degrees   Here H = 4, M = 15 and the minute hand is behind the hour hand.   Hence the angle    = 30[4-(15/5)]+15/2 = 30(1)+7.5 = 37.5 degrees

Answer: B) 2 : 1 Explanation: Given that train K crosses a pole in 30 seconds and train L crosses the same pole in one minute and 15 seconds. Let the length of train K be Lk and that of train L be Ll given that Lk = 3/4 Ll As the train K and L crosses the pole in 30 seconds and 80 seconds respectively, => Speed of train K = sk = Lk/30 Speed of train L = sl = Ll/80 Lk = 3/4 Ll => sk = 3/4 Ll/(30) = Ll/40 Ratio of their speeds = sk : sl = Ll/40 : Ll/80 => 1/40 : 1/80  =  2 : 1

Answer: A) Glass Explanation: Because the refractive index of glass is highest, light travels slowly in Glass.  We know that the speed of light depends on the refraction index. The higher the index of refraction is, the slower the speed of light is. R.I of air and vacuum = 0 (air is a teeny bit more but can be taken as 0) R.I of water = 1.33 R.I of glass = 1.4.   Hence, Light travels slowest in Glass.

Answer: C) Tea Explanation: Makaibari is the world's first tea factory and was established in 1859 in Darjeeling, West Bengal.    It is most expensive tea in India which costs around 1.12 lakhs for 1 kg of tea.   Hence, Makaibari is the costliest variety of Tea.
