Five persons A,B,C,D and E are sitting one above the other on a ladder (not necessarily in the same order).

1) B is sitting above A with one person between them.

2) Only two persons are sitting between A and C. If C is not sitting top, the figure are given below -

In which there is two case in which first one is -

Second case are given below -

After observation of both cases, B is the sitting in the middle.

Hence, "B" is the correct answer.

The pattern followed is:

Top right number = multiplication of top left number and bottom number 

In fig 1:

729 = 81 × 9

729 = 729

In fig 2:

512 = 64 × 8

512 = 512

Similarly,

In fig 3:

? = 49 × 7

? = 343 

Hence, the correct answer is "343".

Four friends W, X, Y and Z are students of Class 10th.

i) W and X are good in Hindi but poor in English.

ii) W and Y are good in Science but poor in Mathematics.

iii) Y and Z are good in English but poor in Social Studies.

The HCF and LCM of two numbers are 12 and 924.
Let the numbers be 12p and 12q where p and q are prime to each other.
∴ LCM = 12pq
∴ 12pq = 924
⇒ pq = 77
∴ Possible pairs are (1 , 77) and (7 ,11)
Hence , required answer is 2.

Distance=600 km

Speed=100 km/hr

Time =100/600​=6hr

Number of stops in 600 km=(600/75​)−1 = 7

Time of stopping after every 75 km = 3  min

Total time of stopping = 7×3 = 21min

Total time to cover 600 km is 6 hr 21 min.

πr² + 2πr = 704
πr(r + 2) = 704

r × (r + 2) = 224
r = 14
So the answer

Hence, Option C is correct.

Population in 2022

So the answer = 68,400 – 60,000 = 8,400
Hence, Option C is correct.

Let total students = 100
Boys = 60
Girls = 40
Absent boys = (100 – 80)% of 60 = 12

So the answer = (10 + 12)% = 22%
Hence, Option B is correct.

Runs → A : B = (16 – 1) : 16 = 15 : 16

Hence, Option A is correct.

Circles are all similar, and "the circumference divided by the diameter" produces the same value regardless of their radius. This value is the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter and is called π (Pi). This constant appears in the calculation of the area of a circle and is a type of an irrational number known as a transcendental number that can be expressed neither by a fraction nor by any radical sign such as a square root, nor their combination.
