Answer: D) 38.57 cm Explanation: We know that perimeter of rectangle = 2(l+b) = 2(8+7)= 30cmGiven perimeter of square is twice the perimeter of rectangle = 2(30) = 60cmTherefore, side of the square is = 1/4 x 60 = 15cmCircumference of the required semicircle = πr + 2r = 227× 152 + 2×152 = 23.57 + 15 = 38.57cm.

Answer: A) Rs. 6000 Explanation: Let the sum invested be Rs. P Let the rate of interest be R% per annum => Interest earned for 5 years = (P x 5 x R/100) = PR/20 Now, given that the interest earned increased by Rs. 600 if the Rate increased to (R+2)% => SI = (P x 5 x (R+2))/100 = PR/20 + 10P/100 Hence, PR/20 + 10P/100 = PR/20 + 600 => P = 6000 Therefore, the sum invested is Rs. 6000

Answer: A) 48 kmph Explanation: we know that speed = distance traveled/time takenlet the total distance traveled by the car is 2x km.then time taken by it to cover first half is x/60 hour.and for second half is x/40 hour.Then average speed= total distance travelled / total time taken.   i.e. 2xx60+x40   => 2x5x120   = 48 kmph.

If you read newspaper daily, then you may be aware of the four coloured dots on the corner of the newspaper.    The four dots CMYK — blue (Cyan), pink (Magenta), Yellow and black (Kalio) are registration marks used during printing to help ensure the print is aligned properly. Any colour can be obtained by adding the correct proportion of these four colours.   CMYK is used as a base for the colours used in printing newspapers, and these four colours are often printed on the paper in either a heart, dot, or square shape.   To print an image, the plates of all these colours are laid out on a page separately and lined up in the same spot while printing. If those four dots are blur or you find the colours overlapping on the image it means the printing is not good. To print an accurate and perfect image, the colors and shape must be arranged precisely and must be claear sharp in order to get the best output.   That's why CMYK is also called registration mark. As physically checking all the pages of the paper is not possible for a printer who prints number of news papers daily, he just checks these dots.
