Answer : 1. "1:7"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 1:7 Explanation: Let the speed of the trains be x and y respectively length of train1 = 47xlength of train2 = 31yRelative speed= x + yTime taken to cross each other = 33 s=> 47x+31yx+y= 33=> (47x + 31 y) = 33(x + y)=> 14x = 2y=> x/y = 2/14 = 1/7 = 1:7

Answer :
Explanation :
This answer shows steps of becoming a team member that doesn't appear to be in training. It is describing ways to limit training times in meetings, and include that a new worker could benefit an existing team by making a list of ideas. Even if everyone is a veteran, I feel confident I can fit right in. I would prepare as much as I can by reading existing material to catch up on the project. I would plan for meetings by making a list of questions I have and finding the answers to these questions before the meeting. I would also create a list of ideas through the documents I have read. A fresh mind could help with creative solutions. I know that I would be required to study a lot in the beginning, but I would be able to do so at home or by working late in the office.
Q: Statement : The byproducts obtained from animals such as hairs, skins, horns, etc. contain at least 45 per cent food protein. Indian scientists have developed methods to segregate 50 per cent of this protein. They have used an enzyme developed in Russia for destruction of soya-proteins. Conclusions: A. Indian scientists cannot develop enzymes. B. If a suitable method involving less cost is developed then many more food protein would be obtained. 1420 05b5cc6d6e4d2b4197774e6a7

Answer : 3. "Neither A nor B follows"
Explanation :
Answer: C) Neither A nor B follows Explanation: There is no indication that Indian scientists are incapable of developing enzymes. There could be any number of reasons why Indian scientists used Russian enzymes. So conclusion A does not follow. In addition, cost is not discussed in the passage at all. There is no mention of a correlation between cost and extraction of proteins. Thus, conclusion B does not follow either.
