Answer :
Explanation :

Let the required number be 'X' Condition 1 :   XX = 2X  => 2X2 = X => X = 12   Condition 2 : X × X = X2=> X = 12   Therefore, 12 is the number which becomes double when it is divided by itself and becomes half when it is multiplied by itself.

Answer : 3. "200 mts"
Explanation :

Answer: C) 200 mts Explanation: Let the length of the train be 'L' mts let the speed of the train be 'S' m/s Given it crosses a pole in 10 sec=> L/S = 10 ......(1)Given it takes 20 sec (double of pole) to cross a platform of length 200 mts => (L + 200)/S = 20 => L/S + 200/S = 20 But from (1) L/S = 10 => 200/S = 20 - 10 => S = 20 m/s Then, from (1) => L = 10 x 20 = 200 mts. Hence, the length of the train = 200 mts.

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. "20%"
Explanation :

Answer: A) 20% Explanation: Suppose that the original price of the car = Rs. x  Then new price of the car => (x) + (x ×25/100) = Rs. 5x/4  To restore the original price, the new price must be decreased by 5x/4 − x = x/4 So required percentage =(x/4)/(5x/4) × 100% = 20%
