Ankita buys 4 kg cashews, 14 kg peanuts and 6 kg almonds when the cost of 7 kg cashews is the same as that of 30 kg peanuts or 9 kg almonds. She mixes all the three nuts and marks a price for the mixture in order to make a profit of ₹1752. She sells 4 kg of the mixture at this marked price and the remaining at a 20% discount on the marked price, thus making a total profit of ₹744. Then the amount, in rupees, that she had spent in buying almonds is- a)1176
- b)2520
- c)1680
- d)1440
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

It is given,
7C = 30P = 9A and Ankita bought 4C, 14P and 6A.
Let 7C = 30P = 9A = 630k
C = 90k, P = 21k, and A = 70k
Cost price of 4C, 14P and 6A = 4(90k)+14(21k)+6(70k) = 1074k
Marked up price = 1074k + 1752
k = 4
Money spent on buying almonds = 420k = 420*4 = Rs 1680

From the given statements, we can infer that all cats are mammals, and some mammals are not carnivorous. However, we cannot conclude that all cats are carnivorous because the given information does not provide any direct relationship between cats and being carnivorous. Similarly, we cannot conclude that some cats are not carnivorous because the given information does not provide any direct relationship between cats and being carnivorous.

Direction for Reading Comprehension: The pass ages given here are followed by question that have four answer choices; read the passage carefully and pick the option whose answer best aligns with the passageIn a low-carbon world, renewable energy technologies are hot business.

But renewables need to be further scrutinized before being championed as forging a path toward a low-carbon future. Both the direct and indirect impacts of renewable energy must be examined to ensure that a climate-smart future does not intensify social and environmental harm.

Which one of the following statements, if true, could be an accurate inference from the first paragraph of the passage?

Ishita Reddy answered |
This question is an easy question because to find the answer we have to read only the first paragraph. The author says “...but renewables need to be further scrutinized...”. This suggests that the author has some reservations or doubts pertaining to renewable energy. Thus 3 is the right choice. A very easy question indeed. 1 goes out because it talks of nonrenewable energy systems. 2 goes out because the author is equally concerned about environmental and social impact of renewable energy systems. 4 finds no mention in the passage and the first paragraph.

What word comes in place of blank (C)?

Ishita Reddy answered |
Burgeoning - growing. Bolstering - strengthening. Exploded - burst. Escalate - grow. Envisioning - imagining future possibilities. We need a participial adjective for this blank, as the filler modifies a noun 'possibilities'. C and D are incorrect as they do not have this structure. E is incorrect as it is a verb. Between the remaining options, only A makes contextual sense.

Tumult - confusion. Sorrow - unhappiness. Chaotic - disorderly. We need an adjective here, so as to modify the noun 'mess', which makes the highlighted word. Options (a), (b) and (c) are nouns. The only option that would fit in the given blank would be 'chaotic' making option (d) the right answer.

Now, we know there is only 1 candidate from OQ, which means that the number of non-candidate voters in OQ will be 4.
We also know that the non-candidates in a particular department voted as a block, and we also know that the least number of non-candidate voters in a particular department can be 1 (BH, 3-2 faculty).
Now, we also know that R got 5 votes from non-candidates.

We will use this formula for both explorers and then equate the distances to find the diameter of the Earth.

Answer:
Identifying the Error:
The error in the underlined part of the sentence lies in the subject-verb agreement. The subject "trying to organise your activities, finances, and personal contacts" is plural, while the verb "are" is in the plural form. However, the subject and verb do not agree in number, causing a grammatical error.

Snehal Reddy answered • Sep 03, 2023 |
To solve this question, we need to calculate the monthly installment that Mr. Magnet paid to clear his loan. Let's break down the solution into the following steps:
Step 1: Calculate the interest for 3 years
The loan amount is Rs. 21,000 and the interest rate is 10% per annum. So, the interest for 3 years can be calculated as follows:
Interest = (Principal * Rate * Time) / 100... more

To find the sum of the first six terms of the given sequence, we need to add up all the terms in the sequence. Let's break down the given sequence and find a pattern to calculate the sum.
The given sequence is:
64, -32, 16, ...
We can observe that each term in the sequence is obtained by multiplying the previous term by -0.5. Let's write down the terms of the sequence:... more

To find the number of students who do not like any of the two subjects (mathematics and science), we need to subtract the students who like either mathematics or science or both from the total number of students.
Given:
Total number of students = 50
Number of students who like mathematics = 20
Number of students who like science = 15
Number of students who like both ... more

To find the number of 3-element subsets of set X = {1, 2, 3....20} such that the product of the 3 numbers in the subset is divisible by 4, we need to consider the different cases and possibilities.
Case 1: Number of even elements in the subset is 3
In this case, we have 10 even numbers in set X (2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20). We need to choose 3 numbers from these 10 e... more

Mira Sharma answered |
Total time taken by A and B together to finish the work = 10 days
And time taken by A alone to finish the work = 15 days
∴ A and B together can do 1/10 of the work in one day and A can do 1/15 of the work in a day.
Work done by B in one day
So, B takes 30 days to do the work alone.
And time taken by A alone to finish the work = 15 days
∴ A and B together can do 1/10 of the work in one day and A can do 1/15 of the work in a day.
Work done by B in one day
So, B takes 30 days to do the work alone.

Given Information:
Ralph's age after 15 years = 5 times his age 5 years back
Let's assume Ralph's present age as x years.
Calculation:
Ralph's age after 15 years = x + 15
Ralph's age 5 years back = x - 5
According to the given information:
x + 15 = 5(x - 5)
Solving the equation:

Directions: Answer the question based on the following passage.
Progressing in life is something which is imperative for a person to grow and achieve one level after another. Now, each level should be more difficult than the previous one. This would help a person to stretch one's abilities & know one's capabilities to their maximum limits. Progress, for quite a good deal of it, means to be able to manage pressure for a good deal of it.
Progress in the life depends a good deal on crossing one threshold after another. Some time ago a man watched his little son trying to write his name. It was hard work, very hard work. The little boy had arrived at an effort threshold. Today, he writes his name with comparative ease. No new threshold confronts him. This is the way with all of us. As soon as we cross one threshold, as soon as we conquer one difficulty, a new difficulty appears, or should appear. Some people make the mistake of steering clear of threshold. Anything that requires genuine thinking and use of energy, they avoid. They prefer to stay in a rut where thresholds are not met. Probably, they have been at their job a number of years. Things are easy for them. They make no effort to seek out new obstacles to overcome. Real progress stops under such circumstances.
Some middle–aged and elderly people greatly enrich their lives by continuing to cross thresholds. Psychologists have discovered that man can continue to learn throughout the life. And it is undoubtedly better to try, and fail than not to try at all. Here, one can be placed in the category of a mountaineer of whom it was said, He died climbing. When a new difficulty rises to obstruct your path, do not complain. Accept the challenge. Resolve to cross this threshold as you have crossed numerous other thresholds in your past life. In the words of the poet, do not rest but strive to pass 'from dream to grander dream'.
Each grand dream will help you to in turn achieve more than you could ever expect from your own self. This would in turn lead to self–revelation & once one understands one's own self, attaining anything in life would be actually like a dream.
