Answer :
Explanation :

There are approximately 6 trillion miles in a light-year, so the distance we need to go is 6 trillion miles / light-year times. 4 light-years is equal to 24 trillion miles. So, this whole would take 1.2 billion hours. There are 24 hours a day and 365.25 days per year, so this time in years is 137 thousand years.

Answer : 2. "15.69 cm"
Explanation :

Answer: B) 15.69 cm Explanation: Draw the two chords as shown in the figure. Let O be the center of the circle. Draw OC perpendicular to both chords. That divides the two chords in half.So CD = 10 and AB = 14. Draw radii OA and OD, both equal to radius r.We are given that BC = 5, the distance between the two chords. LetOB = x. We use the Pythagorean theorem on right triangle ABO AO² = AB² + OB² r² = 14² + x² We use the Pythagorean theorem on right triangle DCO DO² = CD² + OC² We see that OC = OB+BC = x+5, so r² = 10² + (x+5)² So we have a system of two equations: r² = 14² + x² r² = 10² + (x+5)² Since both left sides equal r², set the right sidesequal to each other. 14² + x² = 10² + (x+5)² 196 + x² = 100 + x² + 10x + 25 196 = 125 + 10x 71 = 10x 7.1 = x r² = 14² + x² r² = 196 + (7.1)² r² = 196 + 50.41 r² = 246.41 r = √246.41 r = 15.69745202 cm

Answer : 1. "Rs. 3550"
Explanation :

Answer: A) Rs. 3550 Explanation: Let the cost price of the article be 'P' Then from given data, P + 28P100 = 4544=> 128P = 454400=> P = 3550 Hence, the cost price of the article = P = Rs. 3550
