Answer : 1. "3/91"
Explanation :

Answer: A) 3/91 Explanation: In a circle of n different persons, the total number of arrangements possible = (n - 1)!Total number of arrangements = n(S) = (15 – 1)! = 14 !Taking three persons as a unit, total persons = 13 (in 4 units)Therefore no. of ways for these 13 persons to around the circular table = (13 - 1)! = 12!In any given unit, 3 particular person can sit in 3!. Hence total number of ways that any three person can sit =n(E) = 12! X 3!Therefore P (E) = probability of three persons sitting together = n(E) / n(S) = 12! X 3 ! / 14!= 12!x3x2 / 14x13x12! = 6/14x13 = 3/91

Answer : 3. "102 men"
Explanation :

Answer: C) 102 men Explanation: From the above formula i.e (m1 x t1/w1) = (m2 x t2/w2) so, [(34 x 8 x 9)/(2/5)] = [(M x 6 x 9)/(3/5)] so, M = 136 men   Number of men to be added to finish the work = 136-34 = 102 men.

Answer : 1. "Total internal reflection"
Explanation :

Answer: A) Total internal reflection Explanation: A periscope is an optical instrument that uses a system of prisms, lenses, or mirrors to reflect images through a tube.       Light from a distant object strikes the top mirror and is then reflected at an angle of 90 degrees down the periscope tube. At the bottom of the periscope, the light strikes another mirror and is then reflected into the viewer’s eye.   Hence, A periscope works by the principle of Total internal reflection.
