Naroj Boda answered
 (256)0.16 x (256)0.09 = (256)(0.16 + 0.09)
= (256)0.25
= (256)(25 / 100)
= (256)(1 / 4)
= (44)(1 / 4)
= 44(1 / 4)
= 41
= 4

Yash Patel answered
 3x - y = 27 = 33    ⇔    x - y = 3 ....(i)
⇒ 3x + y = 243 = 35    ⇔    x + y = 5 ....(ii)
On solving (i) and (ii), we get x = 4.

The Headquarters of UNESCO

The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) is a specialized agency of the United Nations. It was established in 1945 to promote international cooperation and understanding through education, science, and culture. The headquarters of UNESCO is located in Paris, France.

2. Political Significance: France was one of the founding members of UNESCO, and Paris was the logical choice for its headquarters. The French government provided UNESCO with a building in the heart of Paris, which it still occupies today.

3. Accessibility: Paris is a major transportation hub, with two international airports and a well-developed public transportation system. This makes it easy for delegates and visitors from around the world to travel to UNESCO headquarters.

4. Cultural Heritage: Paris is home to many famous landmarks, including the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre Museum, and Notre-Dame Cathedral. These landmarks reflect the rich cultural heritage of France and underscore UNESCO's commitment to preserving cultural diversity.

Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Anaya Patel answered
Tennis is to be shown on friday only. This implies that we can not show football a day after i.e. on Saturday as swimming is to be shown before football.
Moreover as it is given that we can not show a football a day before friday i.e. Thursday. Thus we can not even place it on wednesday as if we will do so then we will not be able to place kho-kho and cricket together as no consecutive days will be left with us.
Also football can not be shown on the first day i.e. Monday because swimming is to be shown before football.
Therefore to maintain a proper order we can place football only on Tuesday.

    I was eating when she called.
  • c)
    We was walking in the park.

Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Malavika Rane answered
Incorrect Usage of Past Continuous Tense:

Explanation:
The sentence "We was walking in the park" contains an error in the past continuous tense. The correct form should be "We were walking in the park." Here's why:

Past Continuous Tense:
- The past continuous tense is used to describe actions that were ongoing in the past at a specific point in time.
- It is formed with the past tense of the verb "to be" (was/were) and the present participle of the main verb (-ing form).

Correcting the Sentence:
- The subject "we" requires the past tense of the verb "to be," which is "were."
- Therefore, the correct sentence should be "We were walking in the park."

Importance of Correct Tense Usage:
- Using the correct tense is crucial for clear communication and to convey the timing of events accurately.
- Incorrect usage can lead to confusion and misunderstanding in written or spoken language.
In conclusion, the sentence "We was walking in the park" is incorrect as it uses the past continuous tense incorrectly. The correct form should be "We were walking in the park" to accurately convey the ongoing action in the past.

  • b)
    Doctrine of Pith and Substance
  • c)

  • a)
    8.5
  • b)
    13
  • c)
    16
  • d)
    17.5
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Alok Verma answered
Let (25)7.5 x (5)2.5 ÷ (125)1.5 = 5x.
Then, (52)7.5 x 52.5 / (53) 1.5 = 5x
⇒ (52)7.5 x 52.5 / (5)3 x 1.5 = 5x
⇒ 515 x 52.5 / 54.5 = 5x
⇒ 5x = 5(15 + 2.5 - 4.5)
⇒ 5x = 513
∴ x = 13.

  • c)
    They was watching a movie when the power went out.

    He were playing the guitar when she called.
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Ishaan Roy answered
Understanding Past Continuous Tense
The past continuous tense is used to describe actions that were ongoing at a specific point in the past. It often provides context for another action that interrupts it. The structure includes "was" or "were" followed by the present participle (verb+ing).
Correct Sentence Analysis
- Option A: I was studying when the phone rang.
- This sentence correctly uses the past continuous tense ("was studying") to indicate an ongoing action (studying) that was interrupted by another action ("the phone rang").
Why Other Options Are Incorrect
- Option B: She was eat dinner when he arrived.
- Incorrect because "eat" should be "eating" to form the correct present participle.
- Option C: They was watching a movie when the power went out.
- Incorrect due to the improper form of "was." It should be "were" to agree with the plural subject "they."
- Option D: He were playing the guitar when she called.
- Incorrect because "were" should be "was" to match the singular subject "he."
Conclusion
In summary, option A is the only grammatically correct sentence utilizing the past continuous tense to effectively convey an interrupted action. Understanding the structure and usage of this tense is essential for clear communication in English.

  • c)
    She sang at the concert last night.
  • d)

Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Abhiram Mehra answered
Explanation:

Past Continuous Tense:
- The past continuous tense is used to describe actions that were ongoing in the past at a specific moment or during a specific period of time.

Identifying the Sentence:
- The sentence that does NOT use the past continuous tense is:
- "She sang at the concert last night."

Explanation:
- In this sentence, the verb "sang" is in the simple past tense, not the past continuous tense.
- The simple past tense is used to describe completed actions in the past, while the past continuous tense is used to describe ongoing actions in the past.

Other Sentences:
- The other sentences ("Were they cooking when you called?", "He was working on the project", "We were playing chess") all use the past continuous tense correctly to describe ongoing actions in the past.
Therefore, the sentence "She sang at the concert last night." does not use the past continuous tense.

Sayali kapoor answered
The correct answer is option 'D' which includes Canada, France, and Italy as the G-7 countries along with the UK, USA, Germany, and Japan. Let's break down the answer and explain why these countries are part of the G-7.

Canada (C)

Canada is a founding member of the G-7 and has been a part of the group since its inception in 1975. It is one of the largest economies in the world and plays a significant role in global affairs. Canada's inclusion in the G-7 is based on its economic strength, political stability, and its commitment to international cooperation.

France (F)

France is another founding member of the G-7 and has been an active participant in the group's activities. As one of the largest economies in the European Union, France holds significant influence in global economic and political matters. It has a strong presence in international organizations and is known for its commitment to multilateralism.

Italy (I)

Italy is also a founding member of the G-7 and has been an integral part of the group since its establishment. It is the third-largest economy in the Eurozone and has a rich cultural heritage. Italy's inclusion in the G-7 is based on its economic strength, political influence, and its role as a major player in global affairs.

Explanation

The G-7, also known as the Group of Seven, is an intergovernmental organization consisting of seven major advanced economies. It was formed in 1975 as an informal forum for discussions on economic and political issues of mutual concern. The G-7 countries are collectively responsible for a significant share of global economic output and hold considerable influence in international affairs.

The original members of the G-7 were the United States, United Kingdom, France, Germany, Japan, Italy, and Canada. Over the years, the group has remained relatively stable, with some changes in membership. Russia was also a part of the group from 1998 to 2014, making it the G-8 during that period. However, Russia's membership was suspended following its annexation of Crimea, and the group returned to being the G-7.

In summary, the G-7 countries include the United Kingdom, United States, Germany, Japan, Canada, France, and Italy. These countries were chosen based on their economic strength, political influence, and commitment to international cooperation. Each member plays a significant role in shaping global economic and political policies.

Which sentence correctly uses the past continuous tense?
  • a)
    I was reading a book when he called.
  • b)
    I read a book when he calls.
  • c)
    I am reading a book when he called.
  • d)
    I have read a book when he was calling.
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Arnav Saini answered
Explanation:

Past Continuous Tense:
- The past continuous tense is used to describe an action that was happening in the past at a specific moment or during a specific period of time.

Correct Answer Analysis:
- The correct sentence is "I was reading a book when he called." This sentence correctly uses the past continuous tense by indicating that the action of reading the book was in progress when another action (he called) occurred.

Incorrect Options Analysis:
- Option B ("I read a book when he calls.") uses the simple past tense for both actions, which does not convey the same meaning as the past continuous tense.
- Option C ("I am reading a book when he called.") combines the present continuous tense with the past tense, which is grammatically incorrect.
- Option D ("I have read a book when he was calling.") uses the present perfect tense for the first action and the past continuous tense for the second action, which is not the correct tense combination for the given context.
Therefore, option A is the correct choice as it accurately applies the past continuous tense to describe the ongoing action in the past.

Choose the sentence with the correct negative form of the Future Continuous Tense.
  • a)
    She will be not join the club.
  • b)
    We will be traveling to the mountains next weekend.
  • c)
    They will be be participating in the event.
  • d)
    I will be not attending the concert.
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Understanding the Future Continuous Tense
The Future Continuous Tense describes actions that will be ongoing at a specific time in the future. It typically follows the structure: "will be" + present participle (verb + -ing).
Correct Negative Form
In negative sentences, the structure changes slightly. The correct form for negating the Future Continuous Tense is:
- "will not be" + present participle
Analysis of Options
Let’s evaluate the options provided:
- a) She will be not join the club.
- Incorrect: The proper negation should be "She will not be joining the club."
- b) We will be traveling to the mountains next weekend.
- Correct: This is an affirmative sentence and does not include a negation.
- c) They will be be participating in the event.
- Incorrect: There is a repetition of "be." The correct form is "They will be participating in the event."
- d) I will be not attending the concert.
- Incorrect: The proper negation should be "I will not be attending the concert."
Conclusion
None of the provided options correctly represents the negative form of the Future Continuous Tense. The correct negative form should follow the structure "will not be" + present participle. Therefore, option 'A' is not correct as stated, and all other options also contain errors.
For proper understanding and practice, consider reviewing resources or exercises specifically focused on verb tenses, especially the Future Continuous Tense.
