656 ÷ 164 = 4; √? = 16 ; ? = 256

So Option C is correct

a + b = 6
(10a + b) – (10b +a) = 36, a – b = 4
We get a = 5 and b = 1
So number is 51

HCF (240, 300, 120) = 60

Answer – c) 70% Explanation : take total women =100 Women less than or equal to 50 years = 80 and women above 50 years = 20 20 = women plays basketball 30% of the women above 50 plays basketball = 6 So remaining 14 women who plays basketball are less than or equal to 50 years So (14/20)*100 = 70%

Suppose total number of students in a certain dormitory = y
Then, total number of first-year students = y/2
Total number of first-year students who have not declared a major = (2/5)y
So, fraction of first-year students who have declared a major = (1/10)y
Total number of fraction of second-year students who have declared a major = (3/10)y
Total number of fraction of second-year students who have not declared a major = (1/5)y
Then, required fraction = (1/5)

15 C.P. = 20 S.P.

Radius of the hemisphere = Radius of the cylinder = Height of the hemisphere = 3.5 cm
Height of the cylinder = Total height - 2 × (Radius of the hemisphere)
Height of the cylinder = 19 cm - 7 cm = 12 cm
Radius of the hemisphere = 3.5 cm
Surface area of the solid = Surface area of the cylinder + 2 × (Surface area of the hemisphere)
= (2πrh) + 2 × (2πr²)
= (2 × (22/7) × 3.5(12 + 7)) cm² = 22 × 19 sq. cm = 418 cm²

• Prakash lives with his (or her) parents. So, at least 2 people are older than him (or her).
• Qureshi lives with 3 persons younger than him (or her).
• We also know Shabdeesh lives with his mother & is older than at least 2 people living with him. So, his gender is Male & his mother must be Qureshi.
• Now, Rajesh lives with his (or her) son & is not older than Shabdeesh. So, she must be female & wife of Shabdeesh & mother of Prakash.

Conclusions:

1. Qureshi (female) – Mother of Shabdeesh
2. Shabdeesh (male) – Son of Qureshi, Husband of Rajesh & Father of Prakash
3. Rajesh (female) – wife of Shabdeesh & mother of Prakash
4. Prakash (male or female) – son or daughter of Shabdesh & Rajesh

Qureshi is Prakash’s grandmother.

Therefore, witnesses 1, 3 and 5 are definitely in a shocked state.
Now, it is known that if a witness is in a state of shock, all details of his/her statement are false.
Therefore, witnesses 2 and 6 definitely gave correct information.
Now, since witness 2 gave correct information, the statement made by witness 4 and (consequently) that made by witness 7 is also true.
Hence, only 3 witnesses (i.e. witnesses 1, 3 and 5) were in a shocked state.
Hence, option 2.

All except February has 31 days, while it has 28 or 29 days

The fortification norms are currently voluntary. In addition, it is intensifying its focus on local staples such as rice, wheat and salt. Hence statement 2 is not correct.
