Answer : 2. "8 %"
Explanation :

Answer: B) 8 % Explanation: Let the price of 1 litre of diesel be Rs.x and let Karthik initially buy 'y' litres of diesel. Therefore, he would have spent Rs. xy on diesel. When the price of diesel increases by 25%, the new price per litre of diesel is 1.25x. Karthik intends to increase the amount he spends on diesel by 15%.i.e., he is willing to spend xy + 15% of xy = 1.15xy Let the new quantity of diesel that he can get be 'q'.Then, 1.25x x q = 1.15xyOr q = (1.15/1.25)y = 0.92y. As the new quantity that he can buy is 0.92y, he gets 0.08y lesser than what he used to get earlier. Or a reduction of 8%.

Answer : 2. "1/8"
Explanation :

Answer: B) 1/8 Explanation: 125 over 1000 in Simplest Form means 1251000 in its simple fraction form.   Now, to get the simplest form of 125/1000, find the HCF or GCD of both numerator and denominator i.e, 125 and 1000.   HCF of 125, 1000 = 125   Then, divide both numerator and denominator by 125 i.e, 1251251000125 = 18   Hence, 18 is the simplest form of 125 over 1000.

Answer : 3. "Fluorine"
Explanation :

Answer: C) Fluorine Explanation: Electronegativity refers to the ability of an atom to attract shared electrons in a covalent bond. The higher the value of the electronegativity, the more strongly that element attracts the shared electrons. Electronegativity increases from bottom to top in groups, and increases from left to right across periods. Thus, fluorine is the most electronegative element and lithium is the least.
