Answer :
Explanation :
It can be possible in only B.C. i.e, Before Christ. That was about 2000 years ago. Given In 1990 B.C = 2000 + 1990 = 3990 years ago, a person is 15 years Old => In 1995 B.C = 2000 + 1995 = 3995 years ago, the same person will be 10 years Old Therefore, In 2000 B.C = 2000 + 2000 = 4000 years ago, the same person will be 5 years Old.

Answer :
Explanation :
A number of possible explanations for why manhole covers are round include : 1. A round manhole cover cannot fall through its circular opening, whereas a square, rectangular, or oval manhole cover could fall in if it were inserted diagonally in the hole. 2. Circular covers don’t need to be rotated or precisely aligned when placing them on the opening. 3. A round manhole cover is easily moved and rolled. 4. Human beings have a roughly circular cross-section. 5. Round tubes are the strongest shape against the compression of the earth around them, so the cover of the tube would naturally be round as well. 6. It’s easier to dig a circular hole.

Answer : 4. "All the above"
Explanation :
Answer: D) All the above Explanation: Intermolecular forces : The forces of attraction present in between the molecules or atoms or compounds is termed as intermolecular forces. The molecule HCl is composed of hydrogen and chlorine atom. There is high difference in electronegativities therefore, it is polar in nature. The H end of HCl is permanently slightly positive charge. The Cl end of HCl has a permanent slight negative charge. the "H" in one molecule is attracted to the "Cl" in a neighbor. The intermolecular force is weak compared to a covalent bond. But this dipole-dipole interaction is one of the stronger intermolecular attractions. It also has hydrogen bonding and dispersion forces. Dispersion forces are the weakest forces which are present in between all molecules or atoms.Hydrogen bonds are present in molecules having at least one H-A bond where A is the strong electronegative atom (mainly F, Cl and N).
