The Indian Constitution does not explicitly recognise the 'right to work' as a fundamental right. It is placed in Part IV (Directive Principles of State Policy) of the Constitution under Article 41, which hence makes it unenforceable in the court of law.

If the car does half the journey @ 30 kmph and the other half at 40 kmph it’s average speed can be
estimated using weighted averages.
Since, the distance traveled in each part of the journey is equal, the ratio of time for which the car
would travel would be inverse to the ratio of speeds. Since, the speed ratio is 3:4, the time ratio
for the two halves of the journey would be 4:3. The average speed of the car would be:
(30 × 4 + 40 × 3)/7 = 240/7 kmph.
It is further known that the car traveled for 17.5 hours (which is also equal to 35/2 hours).
Thus, total distance = average speed × total time = (240 × 35)/(2 × 7) = 120 × 5 = 600 km

From Statement 1:
A’s rank is five ranks below H's rank, whose rank is 19^th from the bottom.

Here, A’s rank is 10^th from the top.
From Statement 2:
A’s rank is seven ranks above F's rank, whose rank is 11^th from the bottom.

Here, A’s rank is 6^th from the top.
Hence option C is correct.

Logic: We have to make a family tree as per the above conditions.

Consider the below symbols.

The family tree for the given problem is as follows:

In the question, Her father is the only son of my father means woman's father and the man's father's only son is the same person means he is talking about himself. 

As the man is the father of that woman.

Therefore, the correct answer should be "Option 1: Father".  

(100 – 37.50)% of total employees = 450
62.50% of total employees = 450

From the common explanation, we get Sona sits opposite Bobby.

Hence, Option E is correct.

Final Arrangement:

Common Explanation:

References:

Eight students Kirti, Ayushi, Manu, Sona, Aarti, Bobby, Ankita and Divya are sitting around the square table.

Four students sit on each side while rest on each corner.

Students at the side face away from the centre and students at the corner faces towards the centre.

Inferences:

So, we need to arrange as follows to accommodate the information as stated in the question,

References:

Divya sits third to the left of Ayushi.

Kirti sits opposite to Manu and both faces away from the centre.

Inferences:

From the above references, we get the following two different cases:

Case 1:

Case 2:

References:

Neither Kirti nor Manu are beside Ayushi.

Sona sits immediate left of Ankita, who sits on the side of the table.

Bobby is not an immediate right of Ayushi.

Bobby is not adjacent to Manu.

Inferences:

So, from this case 2 will be eliminated as neither Kirti nor Manu are beside Ayushi.

Now, from case 1 we get the following final arrangements:

Information and communication technology (ICT) refers to the use of electronic technology to send save, create, display, share or exchange information. Radio, television, video, DVD, satellite systems, computers, etc. are included in the ICT technologies.

• The tools of ICT are not a single technology but a combination of hardware, software, multimedia, and delivery systems. It may be in the form of audio, visual, and audio-visual. 

Key Point

Advantages of ICT Tools:

• Cost efficient - ICT tools are cost efficient as sending an email is cheaper than phone calls. ICT has also helped to automate business practices, thus restructuring businesses to make them exceptionally cost-effective. ICT tools make availability of free e-contents.
• ICT as Auido-Visual aid - A teacher can use ICT tools as teaching aids to stimulate the interest of students in learning. For example, a teacher who is going to introduce adjectives to class Ist students. He can use graphics, visual presentation, and audio-visual aids to make classroom learning interesting.
• Direct classroom learning: ICT tools are used in direct classroom learning as these tools shift the learning from solitary learning to learning with others. It makes learning more active in nature as there is direct interaction of the learner with ICT tools. It places the learner at the center and encourages collaborative learning in the classroom.

Hint

• Reliance on technology: Errors can be caused by over-reliance on and trust in technology’s proper function. Technology can occasionally malfunction, misdirect users, or give incorrect information or recommendations that result in users changing a previously correct decision or following a pathway that leads to error. Over-reliance on technology can result in serious consequences.
