Answer : 4. "Covalent- network"
Explanation :

Answer: D) Covalent- network Explanation: Graphite is a covalent-network type of crystalline solid.   There are two main categories of solids. 1. Crystalline solids and 2. Amorphous solids. Crystalline solids are those in which the atoms, ions, or molecules that make up the solid exist in a regular, well-defined arrangement. There are four types of crystalline solids : Ionic solids :— Made up of positive and negative ions and held together by electrostatic attractions. They’re characterized by very high melting points and brittleness and are poor conductors in the solid state. An example of an ionic solid is table salt, NaCl. Molecular solids :— Made up of atoms or molecules held together by London dispersion forces, dipole-dipole forces, or hydrogen bonds. Characterized by low melting points and flexibility and are poor conductors. An example of a molecular solid is sucrose. Covalent-network (also called atomic) solids :— Made up of atoms connected by covalent bonds; the intermolecular forces are covalent bonds as well. Characterized as being very hard with very high melting points and being poor conductors. Examples of this type of solid are diamond and graphite, and the fullerenes. As you can see below, graphite has only 2-D hexagonal structure and therefore is not hard like diamond. The sheets of graphite are held together by only weak London forces! Metallic solids :— Made up of metal atoms that are held together by metallic bonds. Characterized by high melting points, can range from soft and malleable to very hard, and are good conductors of electricity.

Answer : 4. "555681"
Explanation :

Answer: D) 555681 Explanation: Given number is 987 = 3 x 7 x 47. So, required number must be divisible by each one of 3, 7, 47. None of the numbers in 553681 and 555181 are divisible by 3. While 556581 is not divisible by 7.Correct answer is 555681.

Answer: C) Amazon Explanation: The U.S. e-commerce giant, Amazon has been awarded a patent for launching a giant flying warehouse that would acts as a launch pad for drones to deliver items within minutes.The patent reveals plans for setting up an “Airborne Fulfillment Center” (AFC) such as an Airship or Blimp, floating at an altitude of around 45,000 and stocked with lots of products especially in area where the demand for certain items is expected to be high. When a customer places an order, a drone or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) will fly down and deliver the package. The patent claims that this would require little or no power because the drone would be gliding down rather than having to take off and land.

Answer : 4. "38.57 cm"
Explanation :

Answer: D) 38.57 cm Explanation: We know that perimeter of rectangle = 2(l+b) = 2(8+7)= 30cmGiven perimeter of square is twice the perimeter of rectangle = 2(30) = 60cmTherefore, side of the square is = 1/4 x 60 = 15cmCircumference of the required semicircle = πr + 2r = 227× 152 + 2×152 = 23.57 + 15 = 38.57cm.

Answer : 3. "3.75 km"
Explanation :

Answer: C) 3.75 km Explanation: Let 'd' be the distance between A and BK -time = d/10 + d/9 = 19d/90 hoursL -time = 2d/12 = d/6 hoursWe know that, 10 min = 1/6 hoursThus, time difference between K and L is given as 10 minutes. => 19d/90 - d/6 = 1/6=> (19d-15d)/90 = 1/6=> 4d/90 = 1/6Thus,d= 15/4 km = 3.75 km. hence the distance between A and B is 3.75 km.
