Let us first learn the meanings of the given words:
Significantly (adverb): in a sufficiently great or important way as to be worthy of attention.
Exponentially (adverb): in a way that becomes quicker and quicker as something that increases becomes larger.
Rapidly (adverb): very quickly; at a great rate.

Hence, the correct answer is option B. 

Let us first learn the meanings of the given words:
Essence (noun): the intrinsic nature or indispensable quality of something, especially something abstract, which determines its character.
Foundation (noun): an underlying basis or principle.
The sentence implies that wealth inequality has originated long back, thus as per the stated context, ‘roots in history’ makes a valid phrase. Thus, ‘roots’ is the correct answer here.
Hence, option B is correct. 

For the first blank, ‘problem’ and ‘with the population explosion’ hold the context of the sentence as population is shown as a problem and the word which fits here is 'compounded' as it means ‘mixed or combined’.
This eliminates all other options.

At 5 o'clock, the hands are 25 minute space apart.
To be at right angle, that too between 5:30 and 6:00, the minute hand has to gain (25 + 15) or 40 minute space.
55 minute space is gained in 60 minutes.
40 minute space is gained in 40 ×
Therefore, required time =  

As on melting, liquid is formed similarly on freezing solid is formed.

Statements:

U > H = G ≥ N; E < N > W ≥ O

Conclusion:

I. G > E → True → According to the statement G ≥ N > E

II. H > N → False → According to the statement U > H = G ≥ N

Hence, Option (b) is correct.
Mistake Points:
As from the equation H = G ≥ N.
There is a difference in (≥, >) both the sign.

When H ≥ N means H is greater or equal to N.

When H > N means H is greater than N.

As in conclusion 2, it is said H = G ≥ N from this we cannot say H is greater than N.

Thus conclusion 2 is false.

In the code, first three letters are reversed, EXP → PXE
then next two letters, LA → AL
then again next two letters, IN → NI
finally the last three letters are reversed, ING → GNI
Resulting: EXPLAINING → PXEALNIGNI

Similarly,
PRODUCTION → ORPUDTCNOI

Local time varies only with longitudes.
The flight travelled from 10E to 70W longitudes i.e. 80° longitudes.
Time change because of longitude change = 80 × 4 = 320 minutes = 5 hours and 20 minutes
Time at 18N 10E after 10 hour journey = 2 am + 10 hours = 12 pm
Because the flight travelled towards West from East, the local time at 36N 70W
= 12 pm - 5 hrs 20 m = 6:40 am

To solve the inequality 3(a - 6) < 4 + a, we need to simplify and isolate the variable a on one side of the inequality. Here are the steps:
1. Distribute the 3 on the left side of the inequality: 3a - 18 < 4 + a
2. Subtract a from both sides of the inequality: 3a - a - 18 < 4
3. Combine like terms on the left side of the inequality: 2a - 18 < 4
4. Add 18 to both sides of the inequality: 2a < 22
5. Divide both sides of the inequality by 2: a < 11
Therefore, the solution to the inequality 3(a - 6) < 4 + a is a < 11. This means that a is less than 11. Therefore, the correct answer to the question is D: a < 11
 

I. M > Q → False (as Q ≤ C ≤ B = M → M gives either M = Q or M > Q).

II. D ≤ Q → False (as Q ≤ C ≤ B = M > D)

III. M = Q → False (as Q ≤ C ≤ B = M → M gives either M = Q or M > Q).

IV. C < D → False (as C ≤ B = M > D).

P > Q ≤ C ≤ B = M > D is given in statement. Therefore but Conclusion I and III forms a complementary pair for either.

Thus, the correct answer is option 1.

G - 5 = B
R + 4 = V
E - 3 = B
A + 2 = C
T - 1 = S
⇒ GREAT → BVBCS

Similarly,

U - 5 = P
N + 4 = R
T - 3 = Q
I + 2 = K
L - 1 = K
⇒ UNTIL → PRQKK

'L() M ÷ N' means M is mother of L, N is sister of M.

Hence, M and N are both sisters.

(18 x 12)/3 = 72

and (32 x 16)/4 = 128

Therefore, (24 x 14)/? = 112

(336/?) = 112

? = (336/112)

? = 3.
