Answer : 4. "Data is not sufficient"
Explanation :

Answer: D) Data is not sufficient Explanation: Let the sum be Rs. p, rate be R% p.a. and time be T years. Then,  P×T×(R+2)100-P×T×R100=108  ⇒2PT= 10800  ...... (1)  And,   P×R×(T+2)100-P×R×T100=180   ⇒2PR = 18000 ......(2) Clearly, from (1) and (2), we cannot find the value of pSo, the data is not sufficient.

Answer : 2. "13 years"
Explanation :

Answer: B) 13 years Explanation: Given R + S + M + D = 76 => R+7 : S+7 : M+7 : D+7 = 7:6:5:8 => Let the ratio = x => M+7 = 5x => M = 5x-7 => R = 7x-7 => S = 6x-7 => D = 8x-7 => R + S + M + D = 76 => 7x-7 + 6x-7 + 5x-7 + 8x-7 = 76 => 26x - 28 = 76 => 26x = 104 => x = 4 => Mahesh's present age = 5x-7 = 20 - 7 = 13 years.

Answer : 1. "1900"
Explanation :

Answer: A) 1900 Explanation: Given 2000 ---- 54 days The provisions for 2000 men for 39 days can be completed by 'm' men for only 20 days. i.e, 2000 ----- 39 days == m ---- 20 days => m x 20 = 2000 x 39 m = 3900 So total men for 20 days is 3900 => 2000 old and 1900 new reinforcement. Hence, reinforcement = 1900.

Answer : 4. "Covalent bonds"
Explanation :

Answer: D) Covalent bonds Explanation: Deoxyribose, which is a pentose, and a phosphate group are the two molecules together form the two sides of the DNA i.e, A sugar (deoxyribose) and a phosphate. DNA is a double-stranded molecule twisted into a helix (think of a spiral staircase). Each spiraling strand, comprised of a sugar-phosphate backbone and attached bases, is connected to a complementary strand by non-covalent hydrogen bonding between paired bases. The bases are adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C) and guanine (G). A and T are connected by two hydrogen bonds. G and C are connected by three hydrogen bonds.
