Answer : 3. "12"
Explanation :

Answer: C) 12 Explanation: we can do this by trial and error method. Putting x = 2,we get 2²(2² - 1) = 12.checking with other integers, the above equation always gives a value which is a multiple of 12,So, x²(x² - 1) is always divisible by 12.

Q: 80 litres of diesel is required to travel 800 km using a 800 cc engine. If the volume of diesel required to cover a distance varies directly as the capacity of the engine, then how many litres of diesel is required to travel 1000 kms using 1200 cc engine ? 2724 0

Answer : 4. "150 lit"
Explanation :

Answer: D) 150 lit Explanation: To cover a distance of 800 kms using a 800 cc engine, the amount of diesel required = 80 litres. => the amount of diesel required to cover a distance of 1000 kms = 1000 x 80/800 = 100 litres However, the vehicle uses a 1200 cc engine and it is given that the amount of diesel required varies directly as the engine capacity. i.e., for instance, if the capacity of engine doubles, the diesel requirement will double too. Therefore, with a 1200 cc engine, quantity of diesel required = 1200/800 x 100 = 150 litres.
