Answer : 3. "Both A & B gives result"
Explanation :
Answer: C) Both A & B gives result Explanation: a and b give, profit after 3 years = Rs.(3/8 x 22000) = Rs.8250. From c also, profit after 3 years = Rs. (2750 x 3) = Rs. 8250. ∴ P's share = Rs.(8250 x 5/11) = Rs. 3750. Thus, (either C is redundant) or (a and b are redundant).

Answer :
Explanation :
The shadow zone is the area of the earth from angular distances of 104 to 140 degrees from a given earthquake that does not receive any direct P waves. The shadow zone results from S waves being stopped entirely by the liquid core and P waves being bent (refracted) by the liquid core. There are two types of Shadow zones: one for P waves and one for S waves. P wave shadows between 104-140 degree, both sides; S wave shadow from 105 of one side to 105 of the other.

Answer : 4. "31"
Explanation :
Answer: D) 31 Explanation: Let y be the total number of loavesa be the remaining loaves after 1st thiefb be the remaining loaves after 2nd thiefand c, d..so on after 3 and 4 the = 0 be the remaining loaves after 5th thief a = y - (y/2 + 1/2)= y/2 - 1/2 b = a - (a/2 + 1/2)= a/2 - 1/2 c = b - (b/2 + 1/2)= b/2 - 1/2 d = c - (c/2 + 1/2)= c/2 - 1/2 e = d - (d/2 + 1/2)= d/2 - 1/2we know that, e = 0,thus by substitution, we getd = 1c = 3b = 7a = 15y = 31Therefore total number of bread loaves in bakery was 31.

Answer : 2. "1243"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 1243 Explanation: Given number sequence is 28, 16, 28, 76, 274 Here the sequence follows a pattern that 28 28 x 0.5 + 2 = 14 + 2 = 16 16 x 1.5 + 4 = 24 + 4 = 28 28 x 2.5 + 6 = 70 + 6 = 76 76 x 3.5 + 8 = 266 + 8 = 274 274 x 4.5 + 10 = 1233 + 10 = 1243 Hence, the next number in the given number sequence is 1243.
