Answer : 1. "Rs. 620"
Explanation :
Answer: A) Rs. 620 Explanation: Let the C.P of one item is Rs. P and that of other is Rs. (7500 - P) According to the data given C.P = S.P => Px(116/100) + (7500-P)x(86/100) = 7500 => 30P = 105000 => P = 3500 Required difference between selling prices = Rs. [(3500/100) x 116] - [(4000/100) x 86] = 4060-3440 = Rs. 620

Answer : 1. "12 years"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 12 years Explanation: Given the average age of couple and their son = 40 => Sum of age (H +W +S) = 40├Ч3 Let the age of daughter in law at the time of marriage = D years Now after 10 years, (H + S +W) + 3├Ч12 + D +12 + 10 = 38├Ч5 178 + D = 190 D = 190 -178 = 12 years

Answer : 1. "the existence of unpaired electrons in the valence shell"
Explanation :
Answer: A) the existence of unpaired electrons in the valence shell Explanation: When atoms react they do so in order to reach the lowest energy, which is the most stable. The electrons orbitals will overlap in the way that reduces the energy the most. Orbitals of similar energy will produce the greatest stabilisation.The answer you gave isn't the whole story, it depends what species is reacting with what. The effective nuclear charge on the atom will affect the energy of the valance electrons. ┬а Hence, the reactivity of an atom arises from┬аthe existence of unpaired electrons in the valence shell.
