Answer : 3. "48.88%"
Explanation :

Answer: C) 48.88% Explanation: Number of runs made by running = 180 - (11 x 4 + 8 x 6)= 180 - (92)= 88Now, we need to calculate 88 is what percent of 180.⇒88180×100  = 48.888%.

Q: Sandeep got Rs. 6000 as his share out of the total profit of Rs. 9000 which he and Saketh earned at the end of one year. If Sandeep invested Rs. 20000 for 6 months, whereas Saketh invested his amount for the whole year, the amount invested by Saketh? 2372 0

Answer : 1. "Rs. 5000"
Explanation :

Answer: A) Rs. 5000 Explanation: Let the amount invested by saketh = RS. p Now, that of sandeep = 20,000 x 6 saketh = 12 x p Ratio of their earnings = 120000 : 12p = 6000 : (9000 - 6000) => 12000012p = 60003000 => p= Rs. 5000 Hence, the amount investe by saketh  = Rs. p  = Rs. 5000.

Answer : 2. "9"
Explanation :

Answer: B) 9 Explanation:   Here in 2nd column if you add the individual digits  we get  3 + 7 + 0 =10 , 2 + 2 + 4 = 8 , 7 + 3 + 0 = 10   7   10   3  --> 7+3 =10   6   8     2  --> 6+2 =8   x   10   1  --> x+1 =10   Here we can observe that by adding 1st and 3rd column elements we get 2nd column elements  --> x = 9

Answer : 1. "Induce high voltage"
Explanation :

Answer: A) Induce high voltage Explanation: When the switch is ON, in a tube light choke is nothing but the coil/ballast ( inductor) which is used to induce the high voltage across it. as we know that inductor has property to induce high voltage for the brief period of time, this high voltage is required to ionize the gases in the starter. Then gas inside the starter gets ionized due to this full voltage and heats the bimetallic strip that is caused to be bent to connect to the fixed contact. Current starts flowing through the starter. Although the ionization potential of the neon is the little bit more than that of the argon but still due to small electrode gap high voltage gradient is appeared in the neon bulb and hence glow discharge is started first in a starter. As voltage gets reduced due to the current causes a voltage drop across the inductor, the strip cools and breaks away from the fixed contact. At that moment a large L di/dt voltage surge comes across the inductor at the time of breaking. This high valued surge comes across the tube light electrodes and strikes penning mixture (mixture argon gas and mercury vapor). Gas discharge process continues and current gets the path to flow through the tube light gas only due to low resistance as compared to the resistance of starter.

Answer : 3. "98 mts"
Explanation :

Answer: C) 98 mts Explanation: Let the distance between home and school is 'x'.Let actual time to reach be 't'.Thus, x/4 = t + 4 ---- (1)and x/6 = t - 30 -----(2)Solving equation (1) and (2)=> x = 98 mts.

Q: Mary is 12 years younger to Pinky. After 3 years, the ratio of their ages will be 5:8. If the present age of Sam is the sum of ages of Mary and Pinky, then what was the age of Sam 15 years back ? 2369 0

Answer : 1. "31 years"
Explanation :

Answer: A) 31 years Explanation: Let the present age of Pinky be x years   Then the age of Mary is x - 12 years   After 3 years,   Ratio of  MaryPinky = x - 9x + 3 = 58   8x - 72 = 5x +15   => 3x = 87   => x = 29   => Age of Pinky = 29 years   => Age of Mary = 29 - 12 = 17 years   Present age of Sam = 29 + 17 = 46   Before 15 years Sam age = 46 - 15 = 31 years.
