16 ÷ 8 - 5 × 2 + 6 = 9
⇒ 16 ÷ 8 - 5 + 2 × 6

Given,

Least % of people who like Coffee and Tea = 70 + 80 – 100 = 50

Least % of people who like Milk and Vodka = 85 + 90 – 100 = 75

Least % of people who like Coffee, Tea, Milk, and Vodka = 50 + 75 – 100 = 25

Least % of people who like Whisky and Beer = 95 + 98 – 100 = 93

Least % of people who like all six = 25 + 93 – 100 = 18%

Given:

Divyanshu and Manish can do the work in 75/8 days

Calculation:

Let the time taken by Manish to do the work be x days

∴ (1/25) + (1/x) = 8/75

⇒ 1/x = (8/75) – (1/25)

⇒ 1/x = (8 – 3)/75 = 5/75 or 1/15

⇒ x = 15

∴ Manish can do the work in 15 days

Shubhanshu is 50% more efficient than Manish

⇒ Time taken by Shubhanshu = 15 × (100/150) = 10 days

Gurpreet takes twice the time that of Shubhanshu

⇒ Time taken by Gurpreet = 10 × 2 = 20 days

∴ Ratio of time taken by Divyanshu, Manish, Shubhanshu and Gurpreet = 25 ∶ 15 ∶ 10 ∶ 20 = 5 ∶ 3 ∶ 2 ∶ 4      ----(LCM = 60)

⇒  Ratio of there efficiencies = 12 ∶ 20 ∶ 30 ∶ 15      

∴ Wage received by Gurpreet and Shubhanshu together 

⇒ {(30 + 15)/77} × 1540 = Rs.900

∴ The wage received by Gurpreet and Shubhanshu together is Rs. 900

Given:

Marked price of earphone (M. P_e) =Rs. 750

Marked price of headphone (M. P_h) =  Rs. 1250

We know that,

S.P of an earphone

= Rs, 690

S.P of a headphone

Total S.P. of 5 earphones and 3 headphones = 5 × 690 + 3 × 1000 =Rs. 6450

Total M.P. of 5 earphones and 3 headphones = 750 × 5 + 1250 × 3 = Rs. 7500

Discount Rs. (7500 - 6450) =  Rs. 1050

Discount

We know that,

The sum of a pair of opposite angles is 180°.

The sum of angles of a triangle is 180°.

In the given figure, ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral.

∠BAD + ∠BCD = 180°
∠BAD +110° = 180°
∠BAD = 180° - 110°
⇒ ∠BAD = 70° ... (1)
Now, ΔABE is a triangle,
∠BAD + ∠ABC + ∠AEB = 180°
⇒ 70° +40° + ∠AEB = 180°
⇒ 110° + ∠AEB = 180°
⇒ ∠AEB = 180° - 110°
∴ ∠AEB = 70°

The distance covered by X in 2 hours is 2 × 60 = 120 km
The distance remaining is 1080 km.
This distance travelled before meeting is directly proportional to their speed.
They meet 360 km from B. Hence, train Y must've travelled 360 km.
X has travelled 720 km and Y has travelled only 360 km in the same time.
This means that speed of X is twice of Y.
Since speed of X is 60 kmph therefore speed of Y is 30 kmph

Total volume of the resulting mixture = 140 + 560 = 700 liter
Total quantity of milk in the mixture = 70% of 140 + 65% of 560
= 0.70 × 140 + 0.65 × 560 = 98 + 364 = 462 liter
Now we get 462 liters of milk when the mixture is = 700 liter
Hence, we get 100 liters of milk when mixture = 100 × 700/462
= 151.5 ≈ 152 liter (approx)

Given:

= 1

Speed of Raman = 20km/hr

After convert in km/hr to m/s, 

We know that, Time 

Time = 8×9
Time = 72 sec

The given sentence,

He said, "bathe regularly".

The original sentence is in 'direct speech' and this needs to be converted to 'indirect speech'.

• Said will not change.
• In order to convert from direct speech to indirect speech, the inverted commas need to be removed.
• The conjunction 'that' is added in order to join the 2 clauses in the sentence.
• There will be a change in the tense of the reported speech as this is cannot be considered a habitual action.

Thus, the final statement will be: "He said that he bathed regularly".

'Drove' means to force people or animals to move in a particular direction.

The error lies in Part (A) of the sentence.

The correct sentence is: The song that you performed right before intermission is my favorite.

In the given sentence, the use of the relative pronoun 'which' is incorrect in this context. The relative pronoun 'that' is used for the restrictive clause. A restrictive clause contains information that limits the meaning of a noun and is necessary for a sentence.

For example: Any book that you like must be good.

Therefore, the use of the relative pronoun 'which' in Part (A) of the sentence should be replaced by a relative pronoun 'that.'

Correct Sentence: She picked up the books lay on the table and put them on the shelf.

In the given sentence, the use of the simple present form of the verb 'lie' is incorrect.

The use of the verbs 'picked' and 'put' indicates that the given sentence is in the simple past tense. 

The simple past is a verb tense that is used to talk about things that happened or existed before now.

Therefore, the past tense form of the verb "lay" should be used in place of "lie".

The correct answer is 'were'.

​Conditional sentences are statements discussing known factors or hypothetical situations and their consequences.

One of the structures is mentioned below:

This particular type is followed when we talk about something in the past which is purely imaginary.

• If + Simple Past, Subject + Would + V1 + Object.

In the case of imaginary sentences, 'were' is used with all subjects irrespective of their number.

Example:

• If I had wings, I would fly like a bird.
• He shouted at me as if he were my coach.

Thus, in the fifth blank of the given cloze test, 'were' will be used as the given clause of the sentence is conditional/imaginary in nature.

The correct answer is 'must​'.

An auxiliary verb is a verb that adds functional or grammatical meaning to the clause in which it occurs, so as to express tense, aspect, modality, voice, emphasis, etc.

A modal or a modal auxiliary is a word such as 'can' or 'would' which is used with the main verb (the 1st form of the verb) to express ideas such as possibility, intention, or necessity.

Example:

• I have taken my breakfast. (have- auxiliary verb)
• One should obey one's elders. (should- modal)

The former part of the given sentence talks about the scientists discovering the mechanism of patterns and the latter part talks about them certainly finding a recipe for rapid change.

In the given condition, the modal verb 'must' will be used in the fourth blank of the cloze test as it provides the required conclusive tone.

Sentence (C) provides an introduction to the paragraph which discusses the launch of new models of tablets by Apple. This is followed by a sentence (D) detailing the future plan of the company. Sentence (A) then provides the source of the information. Sentence (B) then gives a detailed version of the future of iPads, Hence the logical flow of the paragraph should be (C), (D), (A), (B).

Active and Passive Voice Rules for Past Perfect Tense

Passive Voice: Our task had been completed before sunset.

Here the correct preposition that should be used is 'in' in place of 'for'.

Also, we cannot use the definite article 'the' before the noun 'public' as we are not talking about any specific public of any area or state, or country. We are simply talking about the public in general.
