Answer : 3. "[6 + (261/315)] days"
Explanation :
Answer: C) [6 + (261/315)] days Explanation: After day 1, A finishes 1/9 of the work. After day 2, B finishes 1/7 more of the total work. (1/9) + (1/7) is finished. After day 3, C finishes 1/5 more of total work. Total finished is 143/315. So, after day 6, total work finished is 286/315. Now remaining work = 29 /315 On day 7, A will work again Work will be completed on day 7 when A is working. He must finish 29/315 of total remaining work. Since he takes 9 days to finish the total task, he will need 261/315 of the day. Total days required is 6 + (261/315) days.

Indian scientists cannot develop enzymes. B. If a suitable method involving less cost is developed then many more food protein would be obtained. 1368 05b5cc6d6e4d2b4197774e6a7

Answer : 3. "Neither A nor B follows"
Explanation :
Answer: C) Neither A nor B follows Explanation: There is no indication that Indian scientists are incapable of developing enzymes. There could be any number of reasons why Indian scientists used Russian enzymes. So conclusion A does not follow. In addition, cost is not discussed in the passage at all. There is no mention of a correlation between cost and extraction of proteins. Thus, conclusion B does not follow either.

Answer : 1. "1:7"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 1:7 Explanation: Let the speed of the trains be x and y respectively length of train1 = 47xlength of train2 = 31yRelative speed= x + yTime taken to cross each other = 33 s=> 47x+31yx+y= 33=> (47x + 31 y) = 33(x + y)=> 14x = 2y=> x/y = 2/14 = 1/7 = 1:7
