Answer : 4. "14 cm"
Explanation :
Answer: D) 14 cm Explanation: Circular piece is 4 x 11 = 44 cm long, Then Circumference of circle is given by, 44 = pi x D, where D is the diameter D = 44 / pi Take pi = 22 / 7, then D = 44 / (22/7) = (44 x 7) / 22 D = 14 cm.

Answer : 4. "100 & 4"
Explanation :
Answer: D) 100 & 4 Explanation: Let the first number be x and the second number be y. Given 5% of x = (25% of y) + y => 5x/100 = 5y/4 => x = 25y ......(1) and also given that, x - y = 96 => x = 96 + y .....(2) From (1)&(2) 25y = 96 + y => 24y = 96 => y = 4 From (1) x = 96 + 4 = 100 Hence, the numbers are 100 & 4.

Answer : 4. "Can't determine"
Explanation :
Answer: D) Can't determine Explanation: NUMERICAL has 9 positions in which 2, 4, 6, 8 are even positions. And it contains 5 consonents i.e, N, M, R, C & L. Hence this cannot be done as 5 letters cannot be placed in 4 positions. Therefore, Can't be determined.

Answer : 4. "a, b & c follows"
Explanation :
Answer: D) a, b & c follows Explanation: All locks are bangles + All bangles are cars = A + A = A= All locks are cars => Some cars are locks.Hence conclusion (a) follows.All keys are locks + All locks are bangles = A + A = A= All keys are bangles => some bangles are keys.Hence conclusion (b) follows.All keys are bangles + All bangles are cars = A + A = A= All keys are cars => Some cars are keys.Hence conclusion (C) follows. Thus all a, b and c follows.

Answer :
Explanation :
In chemistry rusting is called as oxidation. Oxidation is a chemical process where metal gains oxygen and become oxide. In rusting the Iron ore make a chemical reaction with the oxygen in the presence of water and environmental or atmospheric moisture to produce an Iron oxide. Iron oxide is otherwise called as rust. The rusting of iron is a chemical change because it is two substances reacting together to make a new substance. Rusting would only be a physical change if iron molecules remained pure iron throughout the process.

Answer : 2. "30 kmph"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 30 kmph Explanation: Let the speed of the faster train be 'S' kmph Then speed of the slower train will be '(S-5)' kmph Time taken by faster train = 350/S hrs Time taken by slower train = 350/(S-5) hrs 350s-5 - 350s = 2 hrs 20 min = 213 = 73 => S = 30 km/hr.

Answer : 2. "Intracellular transport"
Explanation :
Answer: B) Intracellular transport Explanation: A cytoskeleton is the frame that gives shape to a cell. And also it offers support, and facilitates movement through three main components: microfilaments, intermediate filaments, and microtubules. The cytoskeleton helps the cell move in its environment and controls the movement of all of the cell's interior workings.
