Answer : 3. "in the nucleus, mitochondria, and chloroplasts."
Explanation :
Answer: C) in the nucleus, mitochondria, and chloroplasts. Explanation: All of the genetic information in a cell was initially thought to be confined to the DNA in the chromosomes of the cell nucleus. It is now known that small circular chromosomes, called extranuclear, or cytoplasmic, DNA, are located in two types of organelles found in the cytoplasm of the cell. These organelles are the mitochondria in animal and plant cells and the chloroplasts in plant cells. Chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) contains genes that are involved with aspects of photosynthesis and with components of the special protein-synthesizing apparatus that is active within the organelle. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) contains some of the genes that participate in the conversion of the energy of chemical bonds into the energy currency of the cell—a chemical called adenosine triphosphate (ATP)—as well as genes for mitochondrial protein synthesis.

Q: Pavan and Sravan are two persons. If Pavan works with his actual efficiency and Sravan twice of his actual efficiency then it takes 25 days to complete the work. But If Pavan works twice of his actual efficiency and Sravan with his normal efficiency then the work is completed in 20 days. How many days would it take if Sravan alone works with his actual efficiency (in Days)? 1919 05b5cc6c7e4d2b4197774ded2

Answer : 2. "100"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 100 Explanation: Let the Efficiency of pavan be E(P) Let the Efficiency of sravan be E(S) Here Work W = LCM(25,20) = 100 Now, E(P+2S) = 100/25 = 4 ....(1) E(2P+S) = 100/20 = 5 ....(2) Hence, from (1) & (2) we get E(S) = 1 => Number of days Savan alone work to complete the work = 100/1 = 100 days.
Q: Which of the following is not a fossil fuel? 1918 05b5cc69fe4d2b4197774ca23

Answer : 2. "Uranium"
Explanation :
Answer: B) Uranium Explanation: Uranium is not a fossil fuel whereas coal, petroleum and natural gas are all natural resources. Fossil fuels are hydrocarbons, primarily coal, fuel oil or natural gas, formed from the remains of dead plants and animals. In common dialogue, the term fossil fuel also includes hydrocarbon-containing natural resources that are not derived from animal or plant sources

Answer : 1. "4-15-24"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 4-15-24 Explanation: In each term second two numbers are multiples of the first number. But in 4-15-24 15 is not multiple of 4.
Q: A bag contains 4 red and 3 black balls. A second bag contains 2 red and 4 black balls. One bag is selected at random. From the selected bag, one ball is drawn. Find the probability that the ball drawn is red. 1917 05b5cc7d0e4d2b4197775121d

Answer : 2. "19/42"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 19/42 Explanation: A red ball can be drawn in two mutually exclusive ways (i) Selecting bag I and then drawing a red ball from it. (ii) Selecting bag II and then drawing a red ball from it. Let E1, E2 and A denote the events defined as follows: E1 = selecting bag I, E2 = selecting bag II A = drawing a red ball Since one of the two bags is selected randomly, therefore P(E1) = 1/2 and P(E2) = 1/2 Now, PAE1 = Probability of drawing a red ball when the first bag has been selected = 4/7 PAE2 = Probability of drawing a red ball when the second bag has been selected = 2/6 Using the law of total probability, we have P(red ball) = P(A) = PE1×PAE1+PE2×PAE2 = 12×47+12×26=1942

Answer : 3. "+4"
Explanation :
Answer: C) +4 Explanation: The given compound is NaHCO3 Sodium bicarbonate which is commonly known as Baking soda. Oxidation numbers are the charges on ions. When a neutral atom loses electrons it becomes positively charged. When a neutral atom gains electrons it becomes negatively charged. Here the C represents the oxidation state of carbon in this compound. Compounds are electrically neutral, which is why we set the sum of the oxidation states equal to zero. Sodium has a +1 oxidation state. Hydrogen has a +1 oxidation state. Oxygen has a -2 oxidation state. There are three oxygen atoms, which means the total oxidation state provided by both oxygen ions is -6. Adding up these oxidation states we get: 1 + 1 + (-6) + C = 0 -4 + C = 0 => C = 4 This means the oxidation state of carbon in this compound is +4.

Answer : 1. "1 : 3"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 1 : 3 Explanation: Let the speed of the boat in still water is 'w' Speed of the current is 'c' Let the distance between two places is 'd' According to the question, motorboat takes half time to cover a certain distance downstream than upstream. dw+c = 12dw-c => 2w - 2c = w + c => w = 3c => c : w = 1 : 3 Hence, the ratio between rate of current(c) and rate of boat in still water(w) = 1 : 3
