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

Answer : 2. "1024"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 1024 Explanation: Fruits reduced by 1/4.Total no. of bags N = 5Formula to find no. of fruits in 1st bag = 4^nLast Bag = 4 fruits.That means, 4th bag = 4 x 4 = 16 fruits3rd bag = 16 x 4 = 64 fruits2nd bag = 64 x 4 = 256 fruits1st bag = 256 x 4= 1024 fruits.
Q: Statement : The byproducts obtained from animals such as hairs, skins, horns, etc. contain at least 45 per cent food protein. Indian scientists have developed methods to segregate 50 per cent of this protein. They have used an enzyme developed in Russia for destruction of soya-proteins. Conclusions: A. Indian scientists cannot develop enzymes. B. If a suitable method involving less cost is developed then many more food protein would be obtained. 1614 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 : 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.
