Answer : 3. "12"
Explanation :
Answer: C) 12 Explanation: we can do this by trial and error method. Putting x = 2,we get 2²(2² - 1) = 12.checking with other integers, the above equation always gives a value which is a multiple of 12,So, x²(x² - 1) is always divisible by 12.
Q: P, Q and R start simultaneously from A to B. P reaches B, turns back and meet Q at a distance of 11 km from B. Q reached B, turns back and meet R at a distance of 9 km from B. If the ratio of the speeds of P and R is 3:2, what is the distance between A and B ? 2178 05b5cc6c7e4d2b4197774de73

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
Q: The average age of A and B, 2 years ago was 26. If the age of A, 5 years hence is 40 yrs, and B is 5 years younger to C, then find the difference between the age of A and C? 2174 05b5cc6bbe4d2b4197774d86d

Answer : 2. "9 yrs"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 9 yrs Explanation: Let the present ages of A and B be 'x' and 'y' respectively From the given data, [(x-2) + (y-2)]/2 = 26 => x+y = 56 But given the age of A, 5 years hence is 40 yrs => present age of A = 40 - 5 = 35 yrs => x = 35 => y = 56 - 35 = 21 => Age of B = 21 yrs Given B is 5 years younger to C, => Age of C = 21 + 5 = 26 yrs => Required Difference between ages of A and C = 35 - 26 = 9 yrs.

Answer :
Explanation :
PWC refers to Personal Water Crafts. To control steering on a PWC, the most needed requirement is to have power in which will allows the one using it to control the engine for it to stop or for it to move. Without power, the person using it could be out of balance or fail to start the engine. This is the basic requirement because even though it is shut off or the engine is off, the PWC is still on and it could still move without proper knowledge of the engine.
