Answer: C) 26 Explanation: Here the puzzle follows the logic that Right side number = sum of the number on the left side and the previous number on the left side => 6 = 4+2 => 10 = 6+4 => ? = 16+10 = 26.

Answer: B) 3' > 2' > 1'> NH3 Explanation: The order of basicity in ammonia is different in gaseous phases vs. aqueous phases due to hydrogen bonding.   So in gaseous phases it's the well known: 3' > 2' > 1'> NH3. Just so we're on the same page, this is due to the inductive effect of electron donating alkyl groups--they destabilize the lone pair on nitrogen atom, making nitrogen more basic.   But in aqueous phase, the order is slightly different: 2'> 1'> 3' > NH3.

Answer: A) Rs. 2000 Explanation: Given, Compound rate, R = 10% per annumTime = 2 yearsC.I = Rs. 420Let P be the required principal.A = (P+C.I)Amount, A = P1 + r100n (P+C.I) = P1 + 101002 (P+420) = P[11/10][11/10] P-1.21P = -420 0.21P = 420 Hence, P = 420/0.21 = Rs. 2000

Answer: B) 814 Explanation: Length of largest tile = H.C.F. of 1517 cm and 902 cm = 41 cm.Area of each tile = (41 x 41) sq.cm Required number of tiles =1517 x 902/(41 x 41) = 814.

Answer: A) quality, quantity and duration of light Explanation: Plants and animals are separated by about 1.5 billion years of evolutionary history. They have evolved their multicellular organization independently but using the same initial toolkit — the set of genes inherited from their common unicellular eucaryotic ancestor. Two basic peculiarities of plants are: First, they get their energy from sunlight, not by ingesting other organisms. This dictates a body plan different from that of animals. Second, their cells are encased in semirigid cell walls and cemented together, preventing them from moving as animal cells do. This dictates a different set of mechanisms for shaping the body and different developmental processes to cope with a changeable environment. Because they cannot match themselves to their environment by moving from place to place, plants adapt instead by altering the course of their development. Their strategy is opportunistic. A given type of organ—a leaf, a flower, or a root, say—can be produced from the fertilized egg by many different paths according to environmental cues.   Hence, Plant development is influenced by quality, quantity and duration of light.
