Statement II:

And this statement is true.

Given,

In ΔABC,

⇒ ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°

⇒ ∠B = 180° – 50° – 50°

⇒ ∠B = 80°

Using alternate segment theorem,

⇒  × m(arcAC) = ∠B

⇒ m(arc AC) = 80 × 2 = 160°

Given: 

Concept used:

As we know,

The surface area of a hemisphere

Let, and are the total surface area of the toy, slant height, radius & height of cone respectively.

In a right-angle triangle , using Pythagoras theorem

cm

Given:

Selling price decreased by 

Selling percentage increased by 

Concept:

Total effect          [Where, x = increased percent, y = decreased percent]

Calculation:

According to the question,

 Required percentage change is  decrease.

Let the unit digit x.

New number obtained after reversing the digits = 10x + x - 2

= 11x - 2

According to the question,

Given:

We know that,

Now,

Or,

The value of is or .

Given:

Sum of square of two positive consecutive multiples of 7 is 1225

Let the first multiple of 7 is 7x 

∴ 2nd multiple of 7 is 7× ( x + 1 )

Negative value is not taken so x = 3

Now multiple of 7 is

⇒ First multiple = 7 × 3 = 21 

⇒ second multiple = 7 × ( 3 + 1 ) = 28

⇒ Sum of multiples = 21 + 28 = 49

⇒ = ± 7

The pattern for this is as follows;

Thus, "WX" is the correct answer.

The least possible Veen diagram for the given statements is as follows,

Conclusions:
I. Some blue are green → True
II. Some big are green → True (Some green are big)
Thus, both the conclusion follows.

As we don’t know how many years a nation has to maintain its polio free standard to qualify as a polio free nation and two decades is a long time, we can say that inference I does not follow. Similarly, if we don’t want polio to reemerge we should keep our child getting vaccinated. This means vaccine programs for polio should not be stopped. So, neither inference I nor II follows.

There are 18 circles required.

Given,

We get,

Therefore, the answer is LOMS.

From option (A):

From option (B):

From option (C):

From option (D):

The least possible Venn Diagram for the given statements will be as follows:

I: Some food are waste. → True (As, All eggs are waste and All waste is food → Some food are waste)
II: Some waste are eggs. → True (As, All eggs are waste → Some waste are eggs)
So, both conclusions I and II follows.

Figure (1) from the answer figure i.e.,  will continue the same series as established by the five problem figures.

Both the larger and the smaller squares move to the adjacent corner ACW in each turn. Also, the shading in the smaller square moves 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ... steps ACW sequentially and the shading in the larger square moves 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,.... steps CW sequentially.

According to the passage, One day the Sun decided to send her a blood-red ruby as a token of his love for her. He put the gem in a silk beg, and calling a crow that was flying past, asked the bird to deliver the gem to his beloved.

While is used when two actions occur simultaneously. In the given sentence, two actions (Bhutia being athletic and his parents not being keen) occur simultaneously. 

Erstwhile means former, or previously. 

During is used to show the whole duration of action. 

When is used to indicate a point of time.

According to passage, “United States President Donald Trump’s announcement that Washington will withdraw the GSP (Generalized System of Preferences) trade status given to India 30 years ago came hours after former diplomat S. Jaishankar assumed office as External Affairs Minister,”

Regarding Statement C, there is no such reference that no other country in the world was granted the status except India. Hence it cannot be considered as correct based on the information given in the passage.

As often is an adverb of frequency and adverb of frequency indicates how often an action occurs.

With the present simple, we often use adverbs of frequency to say 'how often' we do something.

Adverbs of frequency are often used to indicate habitual actions and repeated activities. With habitual actions we generally use the present tense of the verb (V1 form or base form).

The sentence is ,

• In the options given, 'speaking' is the only gerund that is the correct answer.

So the correct sentence is- He went on speaking foolishly.

The sentence has two clauses the subordinate clause and the main clause. In the given sentence, the main clause is mentioned in the past perfect tense hence, we need to use the past tense in the subordinate clause as the action of the main clause has happened first. 

Let's see an example-

•  As soon as I reached the station the train had left. (In the given sentence, the subordinate clause starts with "as soon as" and the main clause with "the station")

Correct sentence: He wrote a lot of letters yesterday.

In the sentence, it is clearly mentioned that the action had took place 'yesterday'. So, 'simple past tense' should be used here and 'verb' should be chosen. Therefore, 'wrote' is the appropriate word.

It's a national holiday tomorrow.

It's is a contraction and should be used where a sentence would normally read "it is." the apostrophe indicates that part of a word has been removed. Its with no apostrophe, on the other hand, is the possessive word, like "his" and "her," for nouns without gender. For example, "The sun was so bright, its rays blinded me."

So, the use of It's is appropriate here.
