Answer : 2. "392"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 392 Explanation: The given number series 11, 13, 30, 96, ? follows a pattern that, 11 11 x 1 + 2 = 13 13 x 2 + 4 = 30 30 x 3 + 6 = 96 96 x 4 + 8 = 392 Hence, the next number in the given series is 392.

Answer : 2. "FALSE"
Explanation :
Answer: B) FALSE Explanation: False. The ankle is not the third-class lever in the body. Levers are typically labeled as first class, second class, or third class. All three types are found in the body, but most levers in the human body are third class. First-class levers in the human body are rare and have the axis (fulcrum) located between the weight (resistance) and the force. One example is the joint between the head and the first vertebra. In a second-class lever, the weight (resistance) is located between the axis (fulcrum) and the force. An example of a second-class lever in the human body is found in the lower leg when someone stands on tiptoes In a third-class lever, the most common in the human body, force is applied between the resistance (weight) and the axis (fulcrum). There are numerous third-class levers in the human body; one example can be illustrated in the elbow joint.

Answer : 1. "99"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 99 Explanation: Let, Distance between A and B = d Distance travelled by P while it meets Q = d + 11 Distance travelled by Q while it meets P = d – 11 Distance travelled by Q while it meets R = d + 9 Distance travelled by R while it meets Q = d – 9 Here the ratio of speeds of P & Q => SP : SQ = d + 11 : d – 11 The ratio of speeds of Q & R => SQ : SR = d + 9 : d – 9 But given Ratio of speeds of P & R => P : R = 3 : 2 SPSR = SPSQxSQSR = d+11d+9d-11d-9 => d+11d+9d-11d-9 = 3/2 => d = 1, 99 => d = 99 satisfies. Therefore, Distance between A and B = 99

Answer : 2. "24"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 24 Explanation: Let the numbers be 3x, 3x + 3 and 3x + 6.Then,3x + (3x + 3) + (3x + 6) = 729x = 63x = 7Largest number = 3x + 6 = 27. => Second largest number = 27 - 3 = 24

Answer : 3. "5.76 kms"
Explanation :
Answer: C) 5.76 kms Explanation: Speed in still water = 6 kmph Stream speed = 1.2 kmph Down stream = 7.2 kmph Up Stream = 4.8 kmph x/7.2 + x/4.8 = 1 x = 2.88 Total Distance = 2.88 x 2 = 5.76 kms
Q: Is rusting a physical or chemical change? 2419 05b5cc658e4d2b4197774bdfc

Answer :
Explanation :
In chemistry rusting is called as oxidation. Oxidation is a chemical process where metal gains oxygen and become oxide. In rusting the Iron ore make a chemical reaction with the oxygen in the presence of water and environmental or atmospheric moisture to produce an Iron oxide. Iron oxide is otherwise called as rust. The rusting of iron is a chemical change because it is two substances reacting together to make a new substance. Rusting would only be a physical change if iron molecules remained pure iron throughout the process.

Answer : 2. "3.5 years"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 3.5 years Explanation: Given that Rs. 1860 will become Rs. 2641.20 at 12% => Simple Interest = 2641.20 - 1860 = Rs. 781.20 We know I = PTR/100 => 781.20 x 100 = 1860 x T x 12 => T = 78120/1860x12 => T = 78120/22320 => T = 3.5 years.
