Answer: C) 40 yrs Explanation: Let the mother's present age be x years. Then, the person's present age = 2/5 x years. (2x/5 + 8) = 1/2 (x + 8) 2(2x + 40) = 5(x + 8) => x = 40.

Answer: D) transfer of pollen from anther to stigma Explanation: Pollination is when pollen grains from an anther, the male portion of a flower, are transferred to a female part of the flower, known as the stigma. In order for pollination to be successful, the pollen grains transferred must be from a flower of the same species.   After the pollen grains land on the stigma, they create a pollen tube through the length of the style or stalk connecting the stigma and ovary. Once the pollen tube is complete, the pollen grain will send sperm cells from the grain down to the ovary. When the sperm cells reach the ovary and the egg cells, fertilization will occur, which will result in the formation of the seed. The seed will then be released from the parent plant and will be able to grow into a plant and continue the reproductive cycle using the method of pollination.

The Habeas Corpus writ is issued to produce a person who has been detained, whether in prison or in private custody, before a court and to release him if such detention is found illegal.   The right to habeas corpus has been used by the Indian judiciary effectively only in order to secure the release of a person from illegal detention.   If the detained person is unable to seek the writ of habeas corpus, someone else mayact so on his behalf.

Answer: D) All the above Explanation: Processes that require or give off heat will be limited to changes of state, known as phase changes, and changes in chemical constitution, or chemical reactions. Changes of state involve a solid melting, a liquid freezing, a liquid boiling or a gas condensing.   An exothermic process is one that gives off heat, which is transferred to the surroundings. An endothermic process is a reaction which heat has to be supplied to the system from the surroundings.   Here in all the given options, heat is taken away from them to change there phase.  Liquid to Solid --- Freezing Gas to Liquid --- Condensation Gas to Solid --- Deposition  are all examples of exothermic processes.

Given A,B,C can complete a work in 15,20 and 30 respectively. The total work is given by the LCM of 15, 20, 30 i.e, 60. A's 1 day work = 60/15 = 4 units B's 1 day work = 60/20 = 3 units C's 1 day work = 60/30 = 2 units (A + B + C) worked for 2 days = (4 + 3 + 2) 2 = 18 units  Let B + C worked for x days = (3 + 2) x = 5x units C worked for 2 days = 2 x 2 = 4 units Then, 18 + 5x + 4 = 60 22 + 5x = 60 5x = 38 x = 7.6   Therefore, total number of days taken to complete the work = 2 + 7.6 + 2 = 11.6 = 11 3/5 days.

Answer: C) 12.5 % Explanation: 10% profit at half plot = 600000/2 x 10/100 = Rs. 30,000 15% profit at remaining half plot = 600000/2 x 15/100 = Rs. 45,000 Now, total profit = 30000 + 45000 = 75000 Profit % = 75000/600000 x 100 = 12.5 %

The electron configuration for Cobalt at ground state would simply be Co: [Ar] 4s23d7. The s,p,d,f configuration for cobalt (Co) is 1s22s22p63s23p64s23d7 , determined by the position of the element on the periodic table. Cobalt is an inner transition metal which means the electron configuration will end in d block. Cobalt is in the 7th column of the d block and therefore has 7 d electrons d7.
