Answer : 3. "32640"
Explanation :

Answer: C) 32640 Explanation: We know that zero can't be in hundreds place. But let's assume that our number could start with zero.   The formula to find sum of all numbers in a permutation is   111 x no of ways numbers can be formed for a number at given position x sum of all given digits   No of 1 s depends on number of digits   So,the answer us   111 x 20 x (0+1+2+3+4+5) = 33300   We got 20 as follows. If we have 0 in units place we can form a number in 4*5 ways. This is for all numbers. So we have substituted 20 in formula.   Now, this is not the final answer because we have included 0 in hundreds place. so we have to remove the sum of all numbers that starts with 0.   This is nothing but the sum of all 2 digits numbers formed by 1 2 3 4 5. Because 0 at first place makes it a 2 digit number.   So the sum for this is 11 x 4 x (1+2+3+4+5). =660   Hope u understood why we use 4. Each number can be formed in 4x1 ways   So, the final answer is 33300-660 = 32640

Answer : 1. "30,400"
Explanation :

Answer: A) 30,400 Explanation: we can treat every two consecutive terms as one.So, we will have a total of 100 terms of the nature:(2 + 5) + (7 + 6) + (12 + 7).... => 7, 13, 19,....   We know the sum of n terms  nn+12   Now, a= 7, d=6 and n=100Hence the sum of the given series is S= 100/2 x[2 x 7 + 99 x 6]=> 50[608]=> 30,400.

Answer : 4. "Neurons"
Explanation :

Answer: D) Neurons Explanation: The basic unit of the nervous system is the Neurons.   The neuron is a single nerve cell, and you have billions of them. There are three basic types of neurons:: 1. Association, 2. Afferent  and 3. Efferent. The association neurons comprise the central nervous system (CNS) that is the brain and spinal cord. The afferent neurons are also known as the sensory neurons, they bring the stimuli from the sensors (e.g., skin, eyes, ears) to the CNS. The efferent neurons are also known as motor neurons, they bring the responses from the brain to the muscles and the glands.

Answer :
Explanation :

An organelle called Eyespot allows some protists to detect light. It allows the cells to sense light direction and intensity and respond to it by swimming either towards the light (positive phototaxis) or away from the light (negative phototaxis).   Eyespot is a photoreceptive organelle found in the flagellate or (motile) cells of green algae and other unicellular photosynthetic organisms such as euglenids.   Eyespot-mediated light perception helps the cells in finding an environment with optimal light conditions for photosynthesis. Eyespots are the simplest and most common "eyes" found in nature, composed of photoreceptors and areas of bright orange-red pigment granules.

Answer : 4. "13.742% gain"
Explanation :

Answer: D) 13.742% gain Explanation: Let CP = 100,42 % increase => SP = 14210 % discount in SP => ((142 x 10)/100) = 14.2So 1st SP = (142 - 14.2) = 127.8, again 12 % discount in 1st SP ((127.8 x 11)/100) = 14.0582nd SP = (127.8 - 14.058) = 113.742, So finally CP = 100, SP = 113.742, => gain = 13.742%.
