Animals have two copies of all their chromosomes, one from each parent.

Answer: B) 6 hrs Explanation: Suppose A, B and C take x, x/2 and x/3 respectively to finish the work. Then, (1/x + 2/x + 3/x) = 1/2 6/x = 1/2 => x = 12 So, B takes 6 hours to finish the work.

Answer: B) China Explanation: China flicked the switch on the world’s largest floating solar energy plant.  The massive waterborne plant is expected to generate 40 megawatts at one time and could supply electricity for over 15,000 homes. The pioneering project, located in eastern China, is thought to cement China’s status as a top producer of solar energy in the world.  The plant has been built in Huainan city, Anhui Province, by Sungrow Power Supply, a Chinese company specialised in renewable energy.

Answer: C) Wind Explanation: The energy sources that are constantly being replenished, such as sunlight, wind, and water. This means that we can use them as much as we want, and we do not have to worry about them running out. Additionally, renewable energy sources are usually much more environmentally friendly than fossil fuels. Overall, they release very few chemicals, like carbon dioxide, that can harm the environment. Most of this energy comes from fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and natural gas. These are nonrenewable energy sources, which means that if we use them all up, we can never get more during our lifetime. Fossil fuels also contribute greatly to global climate change by releasing carbon dioxide into the air when they are burned.

Answer: C) 3 Explanation: Given two lines are parallel pa+b=2 b=-pa+2..........(1) 3a+b=4 b=-3a+4 ...........(2) m1 = -p m2= -3 The condition for the two lines to be parallel is m1=m2 p = 3

Answer: D) 3:2 Explanation: Let he mixes the oils in the ratio = x : y Then, the cost price of the oils = 60x + 65y Given selling price = Rs. 68.20 => Selling price = 68.20(x+y) Given profit = 10% = SP - CP => 10/100 (60x + 65y) = 68.20(x+y)-(60x + 65y) => 6x + 6.5y = 8.20x + 3.20y =>2.2x = 3.3y => x : y = 3 : 2

Answer: B) Lohit River Explanation: The Prime Minister Narendra Modi has inaugurated India’s longest bridge “Dhola-Sadia Bridge” in Assam on May 26, 2017. This three lane, 9.15 kilometre bridge has been built over river Lohit, a tributary of the Brahmaputra river. It links Dhola in Assam to Sadia. The bridge will reduce the distance from Rupai on NH- 37 in Assam to Meka-Roing on NH-52 in Arunachal Pradesh by 165 KM. The travel time between the two places will come down from the current six hours to just one hour, a total five hour reduction. This will result in saving of petrol and diesel worth Rs 10 Lakh per day. It will also cater to the strategic requirements of the country in the border areas of Arunachal Pradesh, besides facilitating numerous hydro power projects coming up in the state.

Answer: C) 9 Explanation: The given expression can be simplified as 6 ÷ 2 (1 + 2) The expression can be simplified further by the order of operations, using BODMAS rule.   First evaluate Parentheses/Brackets, then evaluate Exponents/Orders, then evaluate Multiplication-Division, and finally evaluate Addition-Subtraction.   Now, the expression becomes 6 ÷ 2 (3)   According to the order of operations, division and multiplication have the same precedence, so the correct order is to evaluate from left to right. First take 6 and divide it by 2, and then multiply by 3. 6 ÷ 2 × 3 = 3 × 3 = 9 But not  6÷2×3 = 6 ÷ 6 = 1     Hence, 6 ÷ 2 (1 + 2) = 9.
