Answer : 2. "4 kmph"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 4 kmph Explanation: Let the distance in one direction = k kms Speed in still water = 4.5 kmph Speed of river = 1.5 Hence, speed in upstream = 4.5 - 1.5 = 3 kmph Speed in downstream = 4.5 + 1.5 = 6 kmph Time taken by Rajesh to row upwards = k/3 hrs Time taken by Rajesh to row downwards = k/6 hrs Now, required Average speed =Total distanceTotal speed = 2kk3 + k6 = 2k x 186k + 3k = 4 kmph Therefore, the average speed of the whole journey = 4kmph.

Answer : 3. "1425/18 min"
Explanation :
Answer: C) 1425/18 min Explanation: 55 min. spaces are covered in 60 min.60 min. spaces are covered in ((60/55) x 60) min = 720/11 min.Loss in 65 min. = (720/11 - 65 ) = 5/11Loss in 24 hrs = (5/11 x 1/65 x 24 x 60)min = 1440/143 min.

Answer : 4. "215 degrees"
Explanation :
Answer: D) 215 degrees Explanation: The total angle traced by the hour hand is the angle traced in 7 hours and 10 minutes.We know that the angle traced by the hour hand in one hour is 30º and in one minute is 1/2º.Therefore, (30º x 7) + (10 x 1/2º) = 215º is the angle traced by the hour hand.

Answer : 1. "Parvovirus B19 causes severe anemia because it preferentially infects erythrocyte precursors"
Explanation :
Answer: A) Parvovirus B19 causes severe anemia because it preferentially infects erythrocyte precursors Explanation: Parvovirus B19 causes severe anemia because it preferentially infects erythrocyte precursors. a. Parvovirus B19 binds preferentially to the erythrocyte blood group P antigen on erythroid precursor cells. Answers B, C, D are incorrect: b. after entry the single-stranded viral DNA genome is transported to the cell nucleus where the host DNA polymerase synthesizes the complimentary DNA strand. c. Parvovirus B19 infection can be diagnosed by direct detection of viral DNA not RNA. d. the fetus of a seropositive mother is protected from infection by maternal circulating antibodies.

Answer : 3. "22.54%"
Explanation :
Answer: C) 22.54% Explanation: C.P. of 50 kg rice = Rs. (36 x 20 + 14 x 36) = Rs. (720 + 504) = Rs.1224. S.P. of 56 kg rice = Rs. (50 x 30) = Rs.1500. Profit = 1500 - 1224 = Rs.276 Profit % = ProfitC.P×100 = 2761224×100 = 22.54%.
