Conclusions:

I. Some flowers are round → False (It is possible but not definite)

II. Every round is either white or a flower → False (some rounds are white)

So, ‘Neither conclusion I nor II follows’ is the correct answer.

The series will be9 × 1 + 2 = 11
11 × 2 + 3 = 25
25 × 3 + 4 = 79
79 × 4 + 5 = ?
? = 316 + 5
? = 321

The word 'BRAIN' cannot be formed from 'REASONABLE' due to the absence of the letter I.

When the sheet in fig. (X) is folded to form a cube, then the face bearing a square lies opposite to the face bearing a circle. Therefore, the cubes are shown in figures (A) and (B) which have the faces bearing the square and the circle adjacent to each other, cannot be formed. Hence, only the cubes in figures (C) and (D) can be formed.

The correct answer is Only two

Key Points

• The Home Rule Movement was the Indian response to the First World War.
• Prominent leaders Bal Gangadhar Tilak, Annie Besant, G.S. Khaparde, Sir S. Subramania Iyer, Joseph Baptista, and Mohammad Ali Jinnah among others got together and decided that it was necessary to have a national alliance that would work throughout the year (unlike the Congress which had annual sessions) with the main objective of demanding self-government or home rule for all of India within the British commonwealth.

• The number of people who took part in Tilak’s movement was much more compared to Annie Besant. 
• Tilak’s movement was confined to Maharashtra and Karnataka whereas, Annie Besant movement spread to other parts of India. Hence, statement 2 is incorrect.

Henri Becquerel  (1852 - 1908) observed that there are certain elements which emit radiation on their own and named this phenomenon as radioactivity and the elements known as radioactive elements.

• This field was developed by Marie Curie, Piere Curie, Rutherford, and Fredrick Soddy.
• It was observed that three kinds of rays i.e., α,β - and y-rays are emitted.
• For this property, spontaneous radiation happens in an unstable high atomic number element; for example:- Uranium, Polonium, etc.
• The Sl unit of Radioactivity is Becquerel(Bq) and another unit of it is Curie(Ci).
• 1 Becquerel is equal to 1 decay per second.
• E.g. Radium, Uranium, Polonium, etc.

(cos²θ –1)(1 + tan²θ) + 2tan²θ = 1

⇒ (-sin² θ) sec² θ + 2 tan² θ = 1

⇒ (-sin² θ/cos² θ) + 2 tan² θ = 1

⇒ (-tan² θ) + 2 tan² θ = 1

⇒  tan² θ = 1

⇒ tan θ = 1

And 0° ≤ θ ≤ 90°

∴ θ = 45

Shortcut Trick

(cos²θ –1)(1 + tan²θ) + 2tan²θ = 1

Put θ = 45

(cos²45 –1)(1 + tan²45) + 2tan²45 = 1

⇒ (1/2 – 1) (1 + 1) + 2 × 1 = 1

⇒ (-1/2) × 2 + 2 = 1

⇒ (-1) + 2 = 1

⇒ 1 = 1 (satisfied)

Given:

Profit % of the retailer = 40%

Discount = 4a%

New discount =  (3a + 25)%

Formula Used: 

Calculation:

       .........(1)

Now, when the discount is (3a + 25)%

              .........(2)

Equate the value of equation (1) in eq. (2), we get,

 = 

⇒ 100 × 100 - 400a + 100p - 4ap = 140 × 100 - 3a × 140 - 25 × 140 

⇒ 10000 + 100p - 4ap - 400a = 14000 - 420a - 3500

⇒ 100p - 4ap = 500 - 20a 

⇒ p(100 - 4a) = 5(100 - 4a)

⇒ p = 5

Here, p is a positive value so the profit will occur. 

∴ The correct answer is 5% Profit.

Let the quantity of the wine in the cask originally be x litres.

Using formula:

Final Amount of solute that is not replaced Initial Amount

Where N = No. of operation done.

Then ratio of wine to total solution in cask after 4 operations,

litres

Number of English Newspaper sold in Amravati = 5500

Number of English Newspaper sold in Mumbai City = 5500

Number of English Newspaper sold in Buldana = 4500

Number of Hindi Newspaper sold in Buldana = 5000

∴ Required difference = (5500 + 5500 - 4500 - 5000) = 11000 - 9500 = 1500

We know that 

S.I.

Rs 1050

Amount = Rs. (1500 + 1050)

 Rs 2550

If additional amount be Rs x, then

Hence, the correct option is (D)

Given, 

= (1 + 1)
= 2

Let the cost price of the article = Rs. 100 
Marked price
Again, let the discount allowed = x% 
and the selling price

T = Time period

R =  Rate of Interest

Formula: 

I = 1008

The simple interest on Rs. 4200 for 4 years at 6% per annum is 1008.

Let Ajit's average be x for 9 innings. So, Ajit scored 9x run in 9 innings.

In the 10th inning, he scored 100 runs than average became  (x + 8). And he scored (x + 8) x 10 runs in 10 innings.

Now,
⇒ 9x + 100 = 10 x (x + 8)
or, 9x + 100 = 10x + 80
x = 100 - 80
x = 20
New average = ( x + 8) 

= 28 runs
