As given,
∠BOC = 110^o
And, we know incentre of a triangle is a point where angle bisector of triangles meet.
So, which means ∠OCB =∠OBC
∠BOC +∠OCB+∠OBC = 180^o
⇒∠OCB + ∠OBC = 180^o − 110^o
⇒∠OCB +∠OBC = 70^o

Since, ∠ABC = 2∠OBC
∠ACB = 2∠OCB
So, ∠ABC+∠ACB = 2 × 70^o
⇒∠ABC + ∠ACB = 140^o
Now, in triangle ABC.
∠ABC +∠BAC +∠ACB = 180^o
⇒∠BAC  +140o = 180^o
⇒∠BAC = 180o − 140^o
⇒∠BAC = 40^o
Hence, the correct answer is 40^o.

From Statement 1:

N is the son of L, who is married to O.

L has only one child.

H is the father-in-law of N.

O is the mother-in-law of Q.

From, this statement, we can arrange the family tree as possible-

So, from this statement, we determine that L is father-in-law of Q.

From Statement 2:

H has only one son and one daughter, one of which is N.

Q is the sister of N, who is the son of M.

M is the mother-in-law of O, who is the mother of L.

From this statement, we can draw the family tree as follow:

So, from this statement, we cannot determine how L is related to Q, because here we don’t know the gender of L.

Hence option A is correct.

Following the common explanation, we get “Y sits near A”.
Hence, option C is correct.
Final Arrangement:

Common Explanation:
References:
1. Two people are sitting between A and Z.
2. C sits fourth to the right of Z.
3. The number of people sitting to the right of A is the same as the number of people sitting to the left of Z.
4. The number of people sitting between A and C is the same as the number of people sitting between X and C.
5. X is an immediate neighbour of D, who sits on one of the ends.
6. The number of people sitting between D and C is the same as the number of people sitting between C and Y.
7. At most 25 people are sitting in a row.
Inferences:
From reference 1, we get two possible cases.
From reference 7, case2 was eliminated.
Hence, Case 1 is the final arrangement.

The figure is given below:-

Sunny faces east direction then move 45° clockwise direction and the move 135° anticlockwise direction. Now Sunny faces north direction.

Hence, "option 2" is the correct answer.

The figure is as follows:

Assuming, the radius of circle be r.
Then,
AB = BC = CA = 2r
So, all the three sides are equal of the triangle.
△ABC is an equilateral triangle.
Hence, the required answer is equilateral triangleequilateral triangle.

(The volume of cube = side³)

Hence, Option B is correct.

To solve the analogy problem where the pattern needs to be identified, let’s break it down step-by-step:

The analogy given is: 16 : 56 :: 32 : ?

We need to find the relationship between the numbers 16 and 56 and then apply that relationship to 32 to find the missing number.

1. Find the relationship between 16 and 56:

   • Step 1: Check the operations or patterns. Consider possible operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division.

   • Step 2: Test if multiplication could be a pattern:

     16×3.5=56

     This works as:

     16×3.5=56

     Thus, multiplying by 3.5 seems to be the pattern.

2. Apply the same pattern to 32:

   32×3.5=112

   Therefore, according to this pattern, the number that replaces the question mark should be 112.

3. Verify the other options:

   • 96: This is much larger than expected.
   • 112: Also too large.
   • 121: Similarly, too large.
   • 128: While close, it’s not the result from our multiplication pattern.

Hence, the correct answer is:

112

Safe means free from harm. Its opposite is insecure.

Unscrupulous means having or showing no moral principles whereas conscientious means wishing to do one's work or duty well. Therefore, Unscrupulous is the antonym of Conscientious.

Soothe : gently calm (a person or their feelings).
Merge : combine or cause to combine to form a single entity.
Purchase : acquire (something) by paying for it; buy.
Glisten : (of something wet or greasy) shine with a sparkling light.
Meld : blend; combine.

Synonym of Meld is Merge
 

Let us first learn the meanings of the given words:
Enhancement (noun): an increase or improvement in quality, value, or extent.
Modified (adjective): revised or changed.
Amendments (noun): a minor change or addition designed to improve a text, piece of legislation, etc.
Since the context is that the changes are in the bill, noun ‘amendments’ is the perfect fit contextually and grammatically.

Hence, the correct answer is option D.

Web search engines work with the help of two programs:
1. Spider:
- Also known as a web crawler or bot, a spider is a program that systematically navigates the web, visiting web pages and collecting data.
- It starts by visiting a specific web page and then follows the links on that page to discover and visit other pages.
- The spider collects information about each page it visits, such as the page title, URL, metadata, and the content of the page.
- It stores this information in a database or index for later retrieval.
2. Indexer:
- The indexer is another program that works in conjunction with the spider.
- Its main task is to analyze and organize the information collected by the spider.
- It processes the collected data and creates an index, which is a structured database that enables efficient searching and retrieval of information.
- The indexer extracts keywords and other relevant information from the web pages and associates them with the respective URLs.
- It also assigns weights or rankings to the indexed pages based on various factors like relevance, popularity, and quality.
Together, the spider and indexer form the backbone of a web search engine:
- The spider crawls the web, discovering and collecting information from web pages.
- The indexer processes and organizes this information, creating an index that enables fast and accurate searching.
- When a user enters a search query, the search engine utilizes the index to quickly retrieve relevant results and present them to the user.
In conclusion:
- Web search engines rely on the spider to discover and collect information from web pages, and the indexer to process and organize this information into an index.
- These two programs work together to enable efficient searching and retrieval of web content.
