Where a is the side of rhombus.
Hence option C is correct.

The total surface area of a cylinder = 2πrh + 2πr² = 2πr(h + r)

Hence, Option D is correct.

The sum of speeds would be 0.08 m/s (relative speed in opposite direction). Also if we go by
option (b), the speeds will be 0.03 and 0.05 m/s respectively.
At this speed the overlapping would occur every 60 seconds.

Since he gains 2 hours by driving both ways (instead of walking one way) the time taken for driving would be 2 hours less than the time taken for walking.
Hence, he stands to lose another two hours by walking both ways.
Hence his total time should be 8 hrs 45 minutes.

The word that can be prefixed to make the following new words is ‘Mis’.

Mis + Interpret = Misinterpret

Mis + Behave = Misbehave

Mis + Understand = Misunderstand

Mis + Take = Mistake

Answer: C

Explanation:
The word that is different from the rest is Scallop (C). The reasons are as follows:
- Oyster (A), Clam (B), and Mussel (D) are all bivalve mollusks, meaning they have a shell that is divided into two hinged parts. On the other hand, Scallop (C) is also a bivalve mollusk, but it has some unique features that set it apart.
- Scallop's unique features:
- Scallops have a distinct shell shape, which is rounder and flatter compared to the other three.
- Scallops have an ability to swim by opening and closing their shells rapidly, which is not a common feature among the other three mollusks.
- The adductor muscle of the scallop, the part that is commonly consumed, is larger and more developed than in oysters, clams, or mussels, making it a more popular choice for culinary dishes.
These differences make Scallop (C) the word that stands out from the rest.All except Scallop, live in shells.

1st term = 6
2nd term = 6 + 5 = 11
3rd term = 11 + 10 = 21
4th term = 21 + 15 = 36
5th term = 36 + 20 = 56

Thus, Missing Number is 6th term = 56 + 25 = 81

The correct relationship between Young's modulus (E), shear modulus (G), and Poisson's ratio (v) is:

G = E / [2(1 + v)]

This formula shows that the shear modulus is equal to the Young's modulus divided by twice the quantity (1 plus Poisson's ratio).

Hence, option (a) is the correct answer.

In Cement Mortar and Cement Concrete, the volume expands due to the unburnt lime (CaO) and Magnesia (MgO).

Le Chatelier Apparatus test is used to determine the presence of unburnt lime (CaO).

The cracks developed in the structure are mostly due to the unburnt lime because it increases the volume of the cement.

Lime and magnesia also react with water, and thus increase in volume occurs in the cement,

which is also a reason for cracks in the structures.

Hence, the correct option is (c).

The maximum deflection of the tip of the cantilever beam with concentrated load P at the free end is Pl³/3EI

Hence the correct answer is option A.

Hence the correct answer is option B.
