Answer : 2. "Rs. 441"
Explanation :

Answer: B) Rs. 441 Explanation: Given principal amount = Rs. 8000 Time = 3yrs Rate = 5% C.I for 3 yrs =┬а8000┬аx┬а105100┬аx┬а105100┬аx┬а105100┬а-┬а8000=┬аRs.┬а1261 ┬а Now, C.I for 2 yrs =┬а8000┬аx┬а105100┬аx┬а105100=┬аRs.┬а820┬а ┬а Hence, the required difference in C.I is 1261 - 820 = Rs. 441

Answer : 1. "Glass"
Explanation :

Answer: A) Glass Explanation: Because the refractive index of glass is highest, light travels slowly in Glass.┬а We know that the speed of light depends on the refraction index. The higher the index of refraction is, the slower the speed of light is. R.I of air and vacuum = 0 (air is a teeny bit more but can be taken as 0) R.I of water = 1.33 R.I of glass = 1.4. ┬а Hence,┬аLight travels slowest in Glass.

Answer : 2. "2 : 1"
Explanation :

Answer: B) 2 : 1 Explanation: Given that train K crosses a pole in 30 seconds and train L crosses the same pole in one minute and 15 seconds. Let the length of train K be Lk and that of train L be Ll given that Lk = 3/4 Ll As the train K and L crosses the pole in 30 seconds and 80 seconds respectively, => Speed of train K = sk = Lk/30 Speed of train L = sl = Ll/80 Lk = 3/4 Ll => sk = 3/4 Ll/(30) = Ll/40 Ratio of their speeds = sk : sl = Ll/40 : Ll/80 => 1/40 : 1/80 ┬а= ┬а2 : 1
