Answer : 2. "138"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 138 Explanation: The gram formula mass of a compound is nothing but the molar mass. The molar mass of K2CO3 (Potassium Carbonate) is given by Atomic weights of individual elements are K (Potassium) = 39 g C (Carbon) = 12 g O (Oxygen) = 16 g Hence, that of K2CO3 = 39(2) + 12 + 16(3) = 78 + 12 + 48 = 138.

Answer : 3. "9 : 10"
Explanation :
Answer: C) 9 : 10 Explanation: The ratio of X and Y ages at present is 4:5. Then, the ratio 20 years ago will not be more than the ratio at present. So, from the options 9:10 is not satifying => its ratio is 0.9 which is greater than presnt ratio of 0.8.

Answer : 4. "120"
Explanation :
Answer: D) 120 Explanation: In given word OLIVER there are 3 vowels E, I & O. These can be arranged in only one way as dictionary order E, I & O. There are 6 letters in thegiven word. First arrange 3 vowels. This can be done in 6C3 ways and that too in only one way.(dictionary order E, I & O) Remaining 3 letters can be placed in 3 places = 3! ways Total number of possible ways of arranging letters of OLIVER = 3! x C36 ways = 6x5x4 = 120 ways.

Answer : 2. "Rs. 480"
Explanation :
Answer: B) Rs. 480 Explanation: Let the sum be Rs. P. Then, P1+252x1002-P= 510 P[982- 1] = 510. Sum = Rs. 1920 So, S.I. = (1920 x 25 x 2) / (2 x 100) = Rs. 480

Answer : 4. "All the above"
Explanation :
Answer: D) All the above Explanation: 1) SO2 2) CH2Cl2 3) PCl3 How to check the given molecules are polar or non polar : If the electronegativity of the two bonded atoms are different then the bond is polar. Although, some molecules contain polar bonds, the molecule may be non-polar. If the polarity of all the bonds present in the molecule are cancel each other then molecule is non-polar. In the given options, SO2 is polar because the dipole moments on the O do not cancel. PCl3 is polar because the P-Cl bonds do not cancel out. CH2Cl2 polar because the C-Cl bonds do not cancel. Hence, in brief, Polar molecules are molecules with net dipole due to the presence of partial positive and partial negative charge. For example, water is a polar molecule that has partial positive and partial negative charge on it. CO2 is a non polar compound. Therefore, all the given options SO2, CH2Cl2 and PCl3 are Polar molecules.
