Let distance between the two places = d km
Let total time taken by faster horse = t hr
⇒ Total time taken by slower horse = (t + 5) hr,
Let total time taken by faster horse = t hr
⇒ Total time taken by slower horse = (t + 5) hr,
Therefore,
speed of the faster horse = d/t km/hr
speed of the slower horse = d/(t + 5) km/hr
The two horses meet each other in 3 hour 20 min i.e. in 3(1/3) hr = 10/3 hr
In this time, total distance travelled by both the horses together is d.
speed of the faster horse = d/t km/hr
speed of the slower horse = d/(t + 5) km/hr
The two horses meet each other in 3 hour 20 min i.e. in 3(1/3) hr = 10/3 hr
In this time, total distance travelled by both the horses together is d.
∴ d/(t+5) * 10/3 + d/t * 10/3 = d
⇒ 10/(3(t+5)) + 10/3t = 1
⇒ 10t + 10(t+5) = 3t(t+5)
⇒ 20t + 50 = 3t2 + 15t
⇒ 3t2 − 5t − 50 = 0
⇒ 3t2 + 10t − 15t − 50 = 0
⇒ t(3t + 10) − 5(3t + 10) = 0
⇒ (3t + 10)(t − 5) = 0
⇒ t = 5 (ignoring -ve value)
⇒ 10/(3(t+5)) + 10/3t = 1
⇒ 10t + 10(t+5) = 3t(t+5)
⇒ 20t + 50 = 3t2 + 15t
⇒ 3t2 − 5t − 50 = 0
⇒ 3t2 + 10t − 15t − 50 = 0
⇒ t(3t + 10) − 5(3t + 10) = 0
⇒ (3t + 10)(t − 5) = 0
⇒ t = 5 (ignoring -ve value)
Thus, Total time taken by slower horse = 5 + 5 = 10 hr
So Option B is correct

 | Asf Institute answered |
Solve this question through options.
⇒ For instance, if he travelled at 25 km/h, his original speed would have been 24 km/h.
⇒ The time difference can be seen to be 6 minutes in this case = 60 / 24 – 60 / 25 = 0.1 hrs = 6 mins
⇒ For instance, if he travelled at 25 km/h, his original speed would have been 24 km/h.
⇒ The time difference can be seen to be 6 minutes in this case = 60 / 24 – 60 / 25 = 0.1 hrs = 6 mins
Thus, 25 km/h is the correct answer.
So Option A is correct

 | Academic Studio answered |
Since P to R is double the distance of P to Q,
Therefore, it is evident that the time taken from P to R and back would be double the time taken from P to Q and back (i.e. double of 6.5 hours = 13 hours).
Therefore, it is evident that the time taken from P to R and back would be double the time taken from P to Q and back (i.e. double of 6.5 hours = 13 hours).
Since going from P to R takes 9 hours, coming back from R to P would take 4 hours i.e. 13- 9 = 4
So Option A is correct

 | Sahil Khanna answered |
Correct Answer:- B (2,4)
Explanation: The economy is divided into three broad categories—agriculture (which includes broader activities such as mining, utilities, and construction), manufacturing, and services. Services has been, by far, the biggest contributor to GDP, accounting for over 68 percent in 2018.
The Primary sector of the economy includes any industry involved in the extraction and production of raw materials, such as farming, logging, hunting, fishing, and mining. The primary sector tends to make up a larger portion of the economy in developing countries than it does in developed countries.

Pyramid of numbers:
It depicts the numbers of individual organisms at different trophic levels of the food chain.
It is helpful to calculate the changes observed in the number of organisms in each trophic level.
An upright pyramid of numbers, the number of individuals decreases from the lower level to the higher level.
This type of pyramid is usually found in the grassland ecosystem and the pond ecosystem.
T
he grass in a grassland ecosystem occupies the lowest trophic level because of its abundance
We can identify which level is in the endangered zone and need to be saved. But its limitation is we cannot count a number of all organisms accurately.

- Chetan is thrice as efficient as Mamta.
- Let, Mamta takes 3x days and Chetan takes x days to complete the work.
- ∴ 1/x + 1/3x = 1/60 ⇒ x = 80.
- ∴ Mamta will take 80 × 3 = 240 days to complete the work.

Let work done by 1 man in 1 day = m and work done by 1 woman in 1 day = b
Work done by 6 men and 8 women in 1 day = 1/10
=> 6m + 8b = 1/10
=> 60m + 80b = 1 (1)
Work done by 26 men and 48 women in 1 day = 1/2
=> 26m + 48b =1/2
=> 52m + 96b = 1 (2)
Solving equation 1 and equation 2. We get m = 1/100 and b = 1/200
Work done by 15 men and 20 women in 1 day
= 15/100 + 20/200 =1/4
=> Time taken by 15 men and 20 women in doing the work = 4 days

| | Kavita Mehta answered |
Both statements are correct.
1. In a pyramid of biomass, the weight (biomass) of all individuals in each trophic level is considered instead of counting the number of individuals. This gives a more accurate representation of the energy available in each trophic level, as larger organisms typically have more energy stored in their tissues.
2. The pyramid of biomass is structured with producers at the bottom, representing the largest amount of biomass in the ecosystem. Producers (e.g., plants) convert sunlight into energy through photosynthesis and form the base of the food chain. As energy transfers up the trophic levels through consumption, energy is lost in the form of waste and heat, resulting in a decrease in biomass as you move up the pyramid. This is why the biomass of producers is at the bottom of the pyramid, as they represent the largest amount of available energy in the ecosystem.

 | Valor Academy answered |
- Statement-I: This statement is correct. In a grazing food chain, the primary producers (plants) form the base of the food chain. The primary consumers (herbivores) feed on these primary producers, followed by secondary and tertiary consumers that feed on the primary consumers and each other.
- Statement-II: This statement is also correct. A detritus food chain begins with decaying organic matter (detritus), which is broken down by microorganisms. Detritivores (organisms that feed on decaying matter, such as earthworms) then consume the decomposed material, and higher-level predators feed on them. This describes a distinct food chain, different from the grazing food chain.
Statement-II describes how a detritus food chain works, beginning with decaying organic matter, whereas Statement-I describes a grazing food chain that begins with living plant material. Both statements are correct, but Statement-II does not explain Statement-I. They describe different types of food chains within ecosystems.
Thus, both statements are correct, but Statement-II offers a different perspective on ecological food chains without explaining Statement-I.
Therefore, the correct answer is Option A.
Therefore, the correct answer is Option A.

Food security means availability, accessibility and affordability of food to all people at all times.
- Poor households are more vulnerable to food insecurity whenever there is a problem with the production or distribution of food crops.
- Food security depends on the Public Distribution System (PDS) and government vigilance and action at times, when this security is threatened.

 | Sandeep Iyer answered |
Transfer payments such as pensions, scholarships, subsidies etc are excluded from GDP calculations because there is no production of any goods or services in exchange of such payments. Remittances (Money sent home from emigrants working abroad) are also not included in the GDP. This is because, in GDP estimations, only those goods and services produced within a country are included.

Incorrect Statements about Capitalism and Communism
Capitalism and communism are two different economic systems that have been widely debated and compared. They have different principles and objectives that affect the way businesses and individuals operate within the economy. The incorrect statements about capitalism and communism are:
2. Communism allows for free market
3. Capitalism, in theory, spreads wealth evenly
4. Communism encourages entrepreneurship
Explanation:
1. Capitalism allows private property:
- Private property is the foundation of capitalism. In a capitalist economy, individuals have the right to own and control property, including businesses, factories, and land. This right to private property is protected by law and is essential for the functioning of a market economy.
2. Communism allows for free market:
- This statement is incorrect. Communism is a type of economic system where the government owns and controls all property and resources. There is no private ownership, and the government decides what gets produced and how it is distributed. There is no free market in communism.
3. Capitalism, in theory, spreads wealth evenly:
- This statement is incorrect. Capitalism is based on the principle of individualism, where the pursuit of self-interest drives economic activity. While capitalism can generate wealth, it does not guarantee that this wealth will be distributed evenly. In fact, capitalism often results in income inequality, where a small percentage of the population holds a significant portion of the wealth.
4. Communism encourages entrepreneurship:
- This statement is incorrect. In communism, the government controls all economic activity, including entrepreneurship. There is no incentive for individuals to start their own businesses or innovate since the government controls all resources and production.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, while capitalism and communism are two different economic systems, they both have their strengths and weaknesses. It is essential to understand the fundamental principles of both systems to make informed decisions about economic policies and strategies.

Understanding Energy Flow in Ecosystems
Energy flow describes how energy moves through an ecosystem, from producers to various consumer levels, ultimately reaching top consumers or apex predators. This concept is vital for understanding ecological dynamics and food web interactions.
Producers: The Foundation
- Producers, primarily plants and some microorganisms, harness sunlight through photosynthesis to create energy-rich organic compounds.
- They form the base of the food chain, providing the initial energy source for other organisms.
Primary Consumers: The Herbivores
- Primary consumers, or herbivores, feed on producers. They convert the energy stored in plants into forms usable by higher trophic levels.
- Examples include deer, rabbits, and insects that rely directly on plant material for sustenance.
Secondary and Tertiary Consumers: The Carnivores
- Secondary consumers are carnivores that eat primary consumers, while tertiary consumers are those that feed on secondary consumers.
- This creates a hierarchy where energy is transferred from one level to the next, with each transfer resulting in energy loss due to metabolic processes.
The Energy Pyramid
- Energy flow can be visualized as an energy pyramid, where energy decreases at higher trophic levels.
- Typically, only about 10% of the energy at one level is available to the next, highlighting the inefficiency of energy transfer.
Conclusion
Overall, option 'D', "Energy flow," accurately encapsulates this dynamic process, illustrating how energy is transferred through an ecosystem, affecting population dynamics and ecosystem stability. Understanding energy flow is crucial for environmental science and ecology, offering insights into the sustainability of ecosystems.

| | Shilpa Choudhury answered |
Given:
A and B together can do a piece of work in 50 days.
A is 40% less efficient than B
Concept used:
Total work = Efficiency of the workers × time taken by them
Calculation:
Let the efficiency of B be 5a
So, efficiency of A = 5a × 60%
⇒ 3a
So, total efficiency of them = 8a
Total work = 8a × 50
⇒ 400a
Now,
60% of the work = 400a × 60%
⇒ 240a
Now,
Required time = 240a/3a
⇒ 80 days
∴ A can complete 60% of the work working alone in 80 days.

The correct answer is option 'C' - Statements a, b, and d are correct.
Explanation:
a. The Constituent Assembly was made a fully sovereign body:
The Indian Independence Act of 1947 granted full sovereignty to the Constituent Assembly of India. This means that the Constituent Assembly had the power to frame the Constitution of India and make decisions without interference from any external authority.
b. The Constituent Assembly became the first Parliament of free India:
After India gained independence from British rule on August 15, 1947, the Constituent Assembly of India functioned as the interim Parliament of the country. It performed the functions of a legislature, making laws and regulations for the newly independent India.
c. When the Constituent Assembly met as the Legislative body, it was chaired by Dr. Rajendra Prasad:
This statement is not correct. Dr. Rajendra Prasad was the President of the Constituent Assembly of India, but he did not chair the assembly when it met as the legislative body. The role of the Chairman of the Constituent Assembly was separate from the President's role.
d. The total strength of the Constituent Assembly came down to 299 as against 389:
The Indian Independence Act of 1947 led to the partition of India, resulting in the creation of two separate countries - India and Pakistan. As a result, the Constituent Assembly of India saw a reduction in its strength. Before the partition, the total strength of the Constituent Assembly was 389 members, but after the partition, it came down to 299 members.
In conclusion, statements a, b, and d are correct. The Constituent Assembly of India was made a fully sovereign body, it functioned as the first Parliament of free India, and its total strength decreased to 299 members after the partition.

Statement 1 is correct. In most terrestrial ecosystems, the pyramid of biomass has a large base of primary producers with smaller trophic levels on top, reflecting the greater biomass of plants compared to herbivores and carnivores.
Statement 2 is correct. In many aquatic ecosystems, the pyramid of biomass can be inverted, meaning that the biomass of primary producers (phytoplankton) is less than that of the higher trophic levels (zooplankton and fish). This inversion occurs because the primary producers reproduce and are consumed rapidly, maintaining a lower biomass.
Statement 3 is incorrect. The energy pyramid always remains upright because energy flow in an ecosystem follows the laws of thermodynamics, with energy decreasing at each successive trophic level due to inefficiencies in energy transfer.
Therefore, the correct answer is Option B: 1 and 2 Only.

Velocity of the flow:
- The rate of erosion by glaciation is influenced by the velocity of the flow of the glacier. Faster-flowing glaciers tend to erode more efficiently as they can pick up and carry larger quantities of debris, leading to more significant erosion.
- Glaciers with higher flow velocities have more power to erode the landscapes they move through, carving out valleys, smoothing surfaces, and shaping the land.
Gradient of the slope:
- The slope gradient plays a crucial role in determining the rate of erosion by glaciation. Steeper slopes tend to experience more rapid erosion as the force of the moving glacier is concentrated on a smaller surface area, leading to increased abrasion and plucking.
- Glaciers flowing down steep slopes can erode more vigorously, creating deep valleys and sharp features as they carve through the landscape.
Temperature of the ice:
- The temperature of the ice in a glacier can also impact the rate of erosion. Colder ice tends to be harder and less prone to melting, allowing it to maintain its shape and erosive capabilities for more extended periods.
- Warmer ice, on the other hand, may melt more easily, reducing the glacier's ability to erode effectively. The temperature of the ice can also affect the amount of meltwater present, which can further enhance erosion processes.
Therefore, all three factors - velocity of the flow, gradient of the slope, and temperature of the ice - play essential roles in determining the rate of erosion by glaciation. By understanding and considering these factors, scientists can better predict and analyze the impact of glaciers on the landscape.

Understanding the Pairs
Let's analyze each of the pairs given:
1. Lionel Robbins: Defined economics as the study of managing limited resources.
- This statement is correct. Lionel Robbins indeed defined economics in terms of scarcity and choice, emphasizing the management of limited resources to meet unlimited wants.
2. Economics: Often called the "dismal science."
- This is also correct. The term "dismal science" is often attributed to economics due to its focus on the limitations and challenges posed by scarcity and choice, as well as its often pessimistic outlook on human behavior and economic outcomes.
3. Economic activities: Only involve non-monetary transactions.
- This statement is incorrect. Economic activities encompass both monetary and non-monetary transactions. While some economic activities may not involve money directly (like barter), many do involve monetary exchanges.
4. Humanities: Economics is interconnected with other disciplines within humanities.
- This is correct. Economics intersects with various fields within the humanities, such as sociology, psychology, and political science, influencing and being influenced by these disciplines.
Conclusion
In summary, the correct pairs are 1, 2, and 4. Thus, three pairs are accurately matched.

| | Aurora Knowledge answered |
Statement-I correctly outlines the emergence of the mixed economic system in the late 1930s, where market economies integrated policies from non-market economies to recover from economic downturns like the Great Depression. This is historically accurate.
Statement-II accurately reflects the shift in the World Bank's stance towards recognizing the importance of state intervention in the economy, departing from its previous emphasis on free market principles. The World Bank's acknowledgment of the necessity of state involvement aligns with the evolution of economic systems towards a blend of market and non-market principles, as seen in mixed economies.
Therefore, both statements are correct, and Statement-II logically complements and explains the emergence of mixed economies following the Depression.

 | Preethi Chauhan answered |
Capitalism is the economic system that led to an increase in inequality, class conflicts, and economic depressions.
Explanation:
Capitalism is an economic system in which private individuals or businesses own and control the means of production and distribution of goods and services. The main goal of capitalism is to maximize profits and accumulate wealth. This system has been criticized for its negative effects on society, including the following:
1. Inequality: Capitalism often leads to a widening gap between the rich and the poor. The wealthy individuals or businesses have more resources and opportunities to accumulate wealth, while the poor struggle to make ends meet. This results in unequal access to resources, education, healthcare, and other basic needs.
2. Class conflicts: The unequal distribution of wealth and resources often leads to class conflicts between the rich and the poor. The rich use their power and influence to maintain their position and protect their interests, while the poor struggle to gain equal rights and opportunities.
3. Economic depressions: Capitalism is prone to economic cycles of growth and recession. During economic booms, businesses and individuals accumulate wealth and invest in new projects. However, during economic downturns, businesses may fail, jobs may be lost, and the economy may contract. This results in economic depressions that can have severe impacts on society.
In conclusion, capitalism is an economic system that has led to an increase in inequality, class conflicts, and economic depressions. While it has some benefits, such as promoting innovation and entrepreneurship, it also has negative effects on society that need to be addressed.

1. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) : Total value of all final goods and services produced within a nation's boundaries during a one-year period
- This is correctly matched. GDP indeed measures the total value of all final goods and services produced within a country's borders in a given year.
2. Net Domestic Product (NDP) : GDP adjusted for exports and imports
- This is incorrectly matched. NDP is actually GDP minus depreciation, not adjusted for exports and imports.
3. Gross National Product (GNP) : GDP plus net factor income from abroad
- This is correctly matched. GNP is calculated by adding the GDP to the net income received from abroad.
4. Net National Product (NNP) : GNP minus depreciation
- This is correctly matched. NNP is derived by subtracting depreciation from GNP.
Thus, pairs 1, 3, and 4 are correctly matched, while pair 2 is not.

Understanding GDP at Market Cost
GDP at market cost refers to the total economic output of a country, adjusted for indirect taxes and subsidies. It reflects the market value of all final goods and services produced within a nation.
Statement Analysis
1. GDP at market cost will increase if the government increases indirect taxes on goods and services.
- Explanation: When indirect taxes (such as sales tax and VAT) are increased, the prices of goods and services rise. This inflationary effect increases the market value of GDP, leading to a higher calculation of GDP at market cost. Thus, this statement is correct.
2. GDP at market cost will increase if the government decreases indirect taxes on goods and services.
- Explanation: A decrease in indirect taxes generally leads to lower prices for goods and services. This would reduce the market value of GDP, not increase it. Hence, this statement is incorrect.
3. GDP at market cost will be constant irrespective of changes in indirect tax rates.
- Explanation: This statement suggests that GDP at market cost remains unaffected by any changes in tax rates, which is misleading. Changes in indirect tax rates directly influence the market prices of goods and services, thereby affecting GDP at market cost. Thus, this statement is also incorrect.
Conclusion
Based on the analysis, only the first statement is true. Therefore, the correct answer is option 'A' - only statement 1 is correct.
This highlights the significant role that indirect taxes play in the calculation of GDP at market cost, influencing economic indicators and policymaking.

 | EduRev CLAT answered |
Let the total amount of work in filling a cistern be 24 units. (LCM of 3, 4 and 8)
Work done by pipe 1 in 1 hour = 24/3 = 8 units.
Work done by pipe 2 in 1 hour = 24/4 = 6 units.
Work done by pipe 3 in 1 hour = 24/ (-8) = -3 units
Total work done in 1 hour = 8 + 6 – 3 = 11 units
The time required to complete 11/12th of the work = 11/12 × 24/ 11 = 2 hours
∴ The correct answer is 2 hours.

- X’s five day work = 5/20 = 1/4. Remaining work = 1 – 1/4 = 3/4.
- This work was done by Y in 15 days. Y does 3/4th of the work in 15 days, he will finish the work in 15 × 4/3 = 20 days.
- X & Y together would take 1/20 + 1/20 = 2/20 = 1/10 i.e. 10 days to complete the work.
