Answer : 1. "7"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 7 Explanation: Given (3 Men + 4 Women + 6 Children) -----> 9 days But W = 2M and C = M/2 Now, convert Men and Children into Women by 3W2 + 4W + 6W4=> 32 + 4 + 32 = 7 Women Therefore, 7 women alone can complete this work in 9 days.

Answer : 2. "315"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 315 Explanation: Parallelograms are formed when any two pairs of parallel lines (where each pair is not parallel to the other pair) intersect. Hence, the given problem can be considered as selecting pairs of lines from the given 2 sets of parallel lines. Therefore, the total number of parallelograms formed = 7C2 x 6C2 = 315

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.

Answer : 1. "22/7 x 24/35"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 22/7 x 24/35 Explanation: Since level of water increased in cylinder by height 4. This is because of the rectangular block . Therefore , area of rectangular block immersed in water is = 227×6×6×4 Thats why portion of block immersed in water is = (22/7 * 36 * 4) / total vol. of rectangle = (22/7 * 36 * 4)/ (7*5*6) = (22/7 * 24)/ 35.
