Answer : 1. "TRUE"
Explanation :

Answer: A) TRUE Explanation: Yes, a square is a rhombus. But a rhombus is not a square unless the interior angles are at right angles.   We know that, a square is a quadrilateral with all sides equal and all the interior angles are 90 deg i.e, at right angles.  Whereas a rhombus is also a quadrilateral with all sides equal but the interior angles are not at right angles. Hence, if the interior angles of a rhombus are all at right angles (90 deg), then it is square.

Answer : 2. "4 kmph"
Explanation :

Answer: B) 4 kmph Explanation: Let the distance in one direction = k kms Speed in still water = 4.5 kmph Speed of river = 1.5 Hence, speed in upstream = 4.5 - 1.5 = 3 kmph Speed in downstream = 4.5 + 1.5 = 6 kmph Time taken by Rajesh to row upwards = k/3 hrs Time taken by Rajesh to row downwards = k/6 hrs Now, required Average speed =Total distanceTotal speed = 2kk3 + k6 = 2k x 186k + 3k = 4 kmph    Therefore, the average speed of the whole journey = 4kmph.

Answer : 4. "140 mts"
Explanation :

Answer: D) 140 mts Explanation: Speeds of two trains = 30 kmph and 58 kmph => Relative speed = 58 - 30 = 28 kmph = 28 x 5/18 m/s = 70/9 m/s Given a man takes time to cross length of faster train = 18 sec   Now, required Length of faster train = speed x time = 70/9  x  18 = 140 mts.

Q: The interstate commerce act of 1887 required 1505 0

  • Show AnswerHide Answer
  • Workspace

Answer :
Explanation :

The Interstate Commerce Act of 1887 is a United States federal law that was designed to regulate the railroad industry, particularly its monopolistic practices.   The reason that the Interstate Commerce Act required that rates be published was to avoid secret rebates and similar deals. Until then, big shippers would demand rebates from railroads, which would in effect reduce their shipping costs without letting competitors know. This is anti-competitive. Hence, the Act required that railroad rates be "reasonable and just," but did not empower the government to fix specific rates.
