Given,
P's 1 day work =1/30
Q's 1 day work = 1/20
As we know,
Work = Efficiency x Time
P's 18 day work = 18/30 = 3/5
Remaining work = 1 - (3/5) = 2/5
Q's 2/5 day work = 
Q will complete the remaining job alone in 8 days.

The Ministry of Environment, Forest, and Climate Change is the nodal Ministry for notifying the Environment Impact Assessment (EIA) Notification, under the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986. Section 3 of the Environment (Protection) Act 1986 (EPA), gives power to the central government to take all measures that it deems necessary or expedient for protecting and improving the quality of the environment, and preventing and controlling abating environmental pollution. So, statement 1 is correct.

• The EIA Notification seeks to reduce or even remove public participation, and by extension independent expert opinion, from the process of granting environmental clearances to various projects. The public reporting of the environmental violations may also not be taken cognizance of by the authorities. So, statement 2 is incorrect.
• Exemption from public consultation in certain projects - Section 14 of the Draft provides for exemption from public consultation, thereby limiting the scope of public involvement in districts. All offshore projects, located beyond 12 nautical miles are exempted. So, statement 3 is correct.

Student 1 marks in History than in Geography = 0.65
= (65/100)
= (5/13)
Student 2 marks in history than in geography = 0.85
= (85/100)
= 17/20
Student 3 marks in history than in geography = 0.35
= (35/100)
= (7/20)
Student 4 marks in history than in geography = 1.25
= (125/100)
= 5/4
Student 5 marks in history than in geography = 1.40
= (140/100) = 7/5
Student 6 marks in history than in geography = 0.95
= (95/100)
= 19/20
Student 7 marks in history than in geography = 1.55
= (155/100)
= 31/20
∴ Students got less marks in History than in Geography is 1, 2, 3, 6.

Number of people using mobile service L in the year 2005 = 15,000
Number of people using mobile service L in the year 2004 = 10,000
Ratio = 15,000 : 10,000 = 3 : 2

India has the third largest Higher Education System in the world, after the US and China, according to the World Bank. However, in terms of expenditure per student as well as per teacher, India falls behind. The country has 907 universities and 50,000 higher education institutions with enrollment of 33 million students.
In the last decade, access to higher education has improved as more IITs, IIMs and central and state-level universities have been established. However, this proliferation has also raised concerns about an imbalance between excellence and inclusion.
