Answer : 3. "lose electrons"
Explanation :
Answer: C) lose electrons Explanation: Ionic bonding is the complete transfer of valence electron(s) between atoms. It is a type of chemical bond that generates two oppositely charged ions. In ionic bonds, the metal loses electrons to become a positively charged cation, whereas the nonmetal accepts those electrons to become a negatively charged anion. Hence, when Ionic bonds are formed metallic atoms tend to lose electrons and become positive ions

Answer : 3. "66.6 mts"
Explanation :
Answer: C) 66.6 mts Explanation: From above diagramAC represents the hill and DE represents the tower Given that AC = 100 m angleXAD = angleADB = 30° (∵ AX || BD ) angleXAE = angleAEC = 60° (∵ AX || CE) Let DE = h Then, BC = DE = h, AB = (100-h) (∵ AC=100 and BC = h), BD = CE tan 60°=AC/CE => √3 = 100/CE =>CE = 100/√3 ----- (1) tan 30° = AB/BD => 1/√3 = 100−h/BD => BD = 100−h(√3)∵ BD = CE and Substitute the value of CE from equation 1 100/√3 = 100−h(√3) => h = 66.66 mts The height of the tower = 66.66 mts.

Answer : 3. "(p + 4) times"
Explanation :
Answer: C) (p + 4) times Explanation: Let the two no's be a and b;Given product of the no's is p = ab;If the each nos is increased by 2 then the new product will be (a+2)(b+2) = ab + 2a + 2b + 4= ab + 2(a+b) + 4= p + 2(a+b) + 4Hence the new product is (p+4) times greater than twice the sum of the two original numbers.
Q: Three strategies P, Q and R have been initiated for cost cutting in a company producing respectively 20%, 30% and 10% savings. Assuming that they operate independently, what is the net saving achieved ? 2740 05b5cc73ae4d2b4197774f8dd

Answer : 1. "49.6%"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 49.6% Explanation: As these three strategies P, Q and R are independent so these will cut cost one after the other.If initial cost is Rs 100, then20% cost is cut after initializing strategy P, then cost will remain 80% = 80further 30% cost is cut after strategy Q, then cost will remain 70% of 80 = 56further 10% cost is cut after strategy R, then cost will remain 90% of 56 = 50.4 Thus final cost remains 50.4 % of the original cost. Hence net saving is 100 - 50.4 = 49.6 %.
