Given:

Volume of cube is 216 cubic cm and side of cube is equal to the radius of sphere

Formula used:

Volume of cube = (Side)³

Surface area of sphere = 4πr²

The volume of cube is 216 cubic cm.

∴ Side of cube = 6 cm

Now, the side of cube is equal to the radius of sphere.

∴ Surface area of sphere = 4πr²

= 4π(6)² = 144 π square cm

Two brothers with an age difference of 6 years. The ratio of their ages after 6 years as 10 : 13

Let the age of one brother be x and the age of another be x – 6

Age after 6 years = x + 6 and x

According to question, (x + 6)/(x – 6 + 6) = 13/10

⇒ 60 = 3x ⇒ x = 20

∴ The age of one = 20 and another = 20 – 6 = 14

Ratio of their ages after 2 years = 16 : 22 = 8 : 11

Given:  (1/5)^3y = 0.008

(1/5)^3y = (0.2)^3y

⇒ (0.2³)^y = 0.008

⇒ (0.2³)^y = (0.2³)¹

On comparing y = 1

(0.25)^y = 0.25¹ = 0.25

Given, Discount = 10%, 15%, 20%

Now, take Value = 100

For 1^st discount of 10%, 1^st value = (100 - 10)%  of 100

= 90%  of 100 = 90

For 2^nd discount of 15%, 2^nd value = (100 - 15)% of 90

= 85% of 90 = 76.5

For 3^rd discount of 20% Final value = (100 - 20)% of 76.5

= (80/100) x 76.5 = 61.2

So, Discount = 100 - 61.2 = 38.8% 

Given:

P = 2000, R = 10%, Time = 4 year

Formula:

Total amount =

Compound interest = Total amount – Principal

Simple interest =

Let principal amount P.

S.I. =

⇒ 2000 =

⇒ 20000 = 4P

⇒ P = 5000

For C.I. t = 2 year Principal amount (P) = 5000 and rate of interest 10%

Total amount =

Total amount =

Total amount =

Total amount =

Total amount =

Total amount = 6050

C.I. = Total amount – Principal amount

⇒ C.I. = 6050 – 5000

⇒ C.I. = 1050

∴ Compound interest is 1050.

Earth's original atmosphere was probably only hydrogen and helium because these were the main gases in the dusty, gaseous disk around the Sun from which the planet formed. The Earth and its atmosphere were very hot. Hydrogen and helium molecules move really fast, especially when heated. Hence, statement (A) is correct.

Earth's second atmosphere was formed from gases released from volcanoes and was composed primarily of water vapor (80%), carbon dioxide (10%), and nitrogen (5%). Hence, statement (B) is correct.

The atmosphere is made up of a mixture of different gases in different quantities. Permanent gases whose percentage does not change from day to day are nitrogen, oxygen and argon. The atmosphere contains nitrogen 78%, oxygen 21% and argon 0.9%. Gases such as carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, methane, and ozone are trace gases that make up about one-tenth of one percent of the atmosphere. Water vapor is unique in that its concentration varies from 0-4% in the atmosphere, depending on where you are and what time of day it is. Hence, statement (C) is incorrect.
