Answer : 2. "Proton"
Explanation :
Answer: B) Proton Explanation: Protons carry a positive electrical charge, electrons carry a negative electrical charge and neutrons carry no electrical charge at all. The protons and neutrons cluster together in the central part of the atom, called the nucleus, and the electrons 'orbit' the nucleus.

Answer : 2. "1/2"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 1/2 Explanation: We know that: When one card is drawn from a pack of 52 cards The numbers of possible outcomes n(s) = 52 We know that there are 26 red cards in the pack of 52 cards⇒ The numbers of favorable outcomes n(E) = 26 Probability of occurrence of an event: P(E)=Number of favorable outcomes/Numeber of possible outcomes=n(E)/n(S) ∴ required probability = 26/52 = 1/2.
Q: Train K crosses a stationary Train L in 50 seconds and a pole in 20 seconds with the same speed. The length of the Train K is 240 meters. What is the length of stationary Train L ? 1386 05b5cc72ce4d2b4197774f75f

Answer : 4. "360 mts"
Explanation :
Answer: D) 360 mts Explanation: Speed of the Train K is given by s = d/t = 240/20 = 12 m/sDistance covered by Train K in 50 seconds = 12 x 50 = 600 mts.But it crosses Train L in 50 seconds Therefore, the length of the Train L is = 600 - 240 = 360 mts.

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 : 4. "7:3"
Explanation :
Answer: D) 7:3 Explanation: Ratio of Milk and water in a vessel A is 4 : 1 Ratio of Milk and water in a vessel B is 3 : 2 Ratio of only milk in vessel A = 4 : 5 Ratio of only milk in vessel B = 3 : 5 Let 'x' be the quantity of milk in vessel C Now as equal quantities are taken out from both vessels A & B => 4/5 : 3/5 x 3/5-x x - 4/5 => 35-xx-45 = 11 (equal quantities) => x = 7/10 Therefore, quantity of milk in vessel C = 7 => Water quantity = 10 - 7 = 3 Hence the ratio of milk & water in vessel 3 is 7 : 3
