0.2×0.2×0.2=0.008

Sun is the ultimate source of energy directly or indirectly, all the form of energy are desired from solar energy.

A bulb, referring to an electric light bulb, typically contains a filament. The filament is a thin wire, usually made of tungsten, that emits light when an electric current passes through it. While a bulb also consists of glass (a) as the outer casing, requires current (b) to function, and produces light (d), the filament is the component that is always present in a bulb.

Acid rain is caused by emissions of sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxide, which react with the water molecules in the atmosphere to produce acids.

Here the remainder is different but the difference between the divisors and the respective remainders is same in both the cases.
24 - 7 = 17 &  36 - 19 = 17
∴ Here, we can use LCM – Model 1
LCM (24, 36) = 72
The largest 3 digit number which is  a multiple of 72 is 936
Therefore, the required number will be 936 - 17 = 919

Here, the number which divides 14, 20, and 32 leaves the same remainder.
∴ We will be using HCF model 2
The required number will be the HCF of (20 - 14), (32 - 20), and (32 - 14).
i.e. HCF (6, 12, 18)
which will be 6.
Therefore, the required number is 6.

Since neither angles nor sides are given in the question, immediately the sum of angles of pentagon should come in mind. To use it,

We know the area of the sectors of a circle is given as:

Note: The above concept is applicable for a polygon of n sides.

Choice (B) is therefore, the correct answer.
Correct Answer: 1.5πr²

Clearly, the facts given in I and II contain two conditions to be fulfilled to get retirement and also indicate that Ritesh fulfills only one condition out of them.

At 4 o' clock, the hands are 20 minute spaces apart.

To get the first 4 min spaces between the hands ,the minute hand has to gain 20 - 4 = 16 minute spaces over the hour hand.

To get the second 4 min spaces between the hands ,the minute hand has to gain 20 + 4 = 24 minute spaces over the hour hand.

In 60 minutes, minute hand gains 55 minute spaces over the hour hand.

Time taken for gaining 16 minute spaces by minute hand

Tamiflu (oseltamivir) is an antiviral medication used to treat Swine flu.

Each cell has two copies of chromosome one inherited from each mother and father. Every germ cell is taking one chromosome from each pair that may from either maternal origin or paternal. When these two germ cell combine, they restore the normal no. of the chromosome in the progeny maintaining the stability of DNA

Angle between hands of a clock 

When the minute hand is behind the hour hand, the angle between the two hands at MM minutes past HH 'o clock

When the minute hand is ahead of the hour hand, the angle between the two hands at MM minutes past HH 'o clock

Here H = 4, M = 40 the minute hand is ahead of the hour hand. Hence the angle

I. In 'right or wrong' and 'he is right', the common word is 'right' and the common code word is 'nik'. So 'nik' means 'right'. In 'right or wrong' and 'that is wrong', the common word is 'wrong' and the common code word is 'te'. So, 'te' means 'wrong'.

Thus, in 'right or wrong', 'sa' is the code for 'or'. II. In 'that right man' and 'this or that', the common word is 'that' and the common code word is 'pa'. So, 'pa' means 'that'. In 'this or that' and 'tell this there', the common word is 'this' and the common code word is 'ne'. So, 'ne' means 'this'. Thus, in 'this or that', 'sa' is the code for 'or'.

• Left almost unattended to for 20 years after it came to light through the excavation by the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) between 1994 and 2001, the ancient Buddhist site on the bank of Bhima river near Kanaganahalli (forming part of Sannati site) in Kalaburagi district, has finally got some attention.
• The Kanaganahalli excavation opened up many marvels. For example, an ‘abandoned well’ in the eyes of local villagers turned out to be the magnificent Maha Stupa, which was referred to as Adholoka Maha Chaitya (the Great Stupa of the netherworlds) in the inscriptions and, more significantly, the stone-portrait of Emperor Ashoka, surrounded by his queens and female attendants.
• The Maha Stupa is believed to have been developed in three constructional phases – Maurya, Early Satavahana and Later Satavahana periods stretching from 3rd Century B.C. to 3rd Century A.D. The Stupa is believed to have been destroyed in an earthquake.

The Defence Cyber Agency (DCyA) is a tri-service command of the Indian Armed Forces. Headquartered in New Delhi, the agency is tasked with handling cyber security threats. The DCyA draws personnel from all three branches of the Armed Forces. The head of the DCyA is an officer of two-star rank, and reports to the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) through the Integrated Defence Staff (IDS).

Let the numbers are be a - d, a, a + d
Then a - d + a + a + d = 21
3a = 21
a = 7
and (a - d)(a + d) = 45
a² - d² = 45
d² = 4
d = +2
Hence, the numbers are 5, 7 and 9 when d = 2 and 9, 7 and 5 when d = -2. In both the cases numbers are the same.

Brother of mother means maternal uncle. Hence only nephew of Aamir's maternal uncle means Aamir himself. Therefore Sonia is the wife of Aamir.

• Climbing in the Himalayas was fundamentally different than in the Alps. For one, most peaks in the Alps are far more accessible than their Himalayan counterparts. This inaccessibility gave birth to expedition climbing – climbing became military-like with massive logistics operations to support the actual ascent.
• Second, the high peaks of the Himalayas were also significantly taller than the ones in the Alps – posing multiple novel challenges, including thinning air at high altitudes.
