Answer: A) 21 min Explanation: Let the pipe B be closed after 'K' minutes. 30/16 - K/24 = 1 => K/24 = 30/16 - 1 = 14/16 => K = 14/16 x 24 = 21 min.

Answer: C) 15 days Explanation: We know that Time is inversely proportional to Efficiency Here given time ratio of P & P+Q as P/P+Q = 150/100 = 3:2 Efficiency ratio of P & Q as P:Q = 2:1 ....(1) Given Efficiency ratio of Q & R as Q:R = 3:1 ....(2) From (1) & (2), we get P:Q:R = 6:3:1 P alone can finish the work in 22.5(3+1)/6 = 15 days.

Answer: D) 10 : 23 : 20 PM Explanation: The watch gains 5 seconds in 3 minutes = 100 seconds in 1 hour. From 8 AM to 10 PM on the same day, time passed is 14 hours. In 14 hours, the watch would have gained 1400 seconds or 23 minutes 20 seconds. So, when the correct time is 10 PM, the watch would show 10 : 23 : 20 PM

Answer: C) Helioseismology Explanation: Helioseismology is the study of the solar interior using observations of waves on the Sun's surface. It has done much to improve our understanding of the interior of the Sun, testing the physical inputs used to model stellar interiors and providing a detailed map of the Sun's structure and internal rotation.

Answer: A) DRAM Explanation:

1. Answer : 2 Explanation : Productivity = Total production/area of Agr.land  Productivity of UP = [ (35000+30000+25000) / (30/100) ] = 300000   Productivity of MP = [ (30000+37500+27500) / (25/100) ] = 380000   Productivity of Bihar = [ (22500+27500+25000) / (20/100) ] = 375000  Productivity of Odisha = [ (22500+15000+10000) / (5/100) ]= 950000   Productivity of Haryana = [ (30000+25000+35000) / (8/100) ] = 1125000   Productivity of Punjab = [ (40000+35000+30000) / (12/100) ] = 875000  The Productivity of Haryana is the maximum.       2. Answer : 5   Explanation : Production of Punjab is maximum = 105000 tonnes      3. Answer : 3  Explanation : Production of Wheat in Punjab = 40000 tones Production of Maize in Odisha = 10000 tones Required % = (40000 - 10000)/100 = 300%      4. Answer : 4  Explanation : The ratio of prodution of Rice in Bihar to the production of Wheat in Haryana = 25000 tonnes : 25000 tonnes = 1 : 1       5. Answer : 1   Explanation : Income of MP from export of 40% of Rice at the rate of Rs.30 per kg = Rs.39crore Income of UP from export of 30% of Rice at the rate of Rs.32 per kg = Rs.28.8 crore  Required ratio = 39 : 28.8 = 390 : 288 = 65 : 48
