Answer: C) 81 Explanation: 729 = 9 x 9 x 9 => Cube root of 729 = 9   Now, required square of 9 = 9 x 9 = 81.

Answer: D) Data is not sufficient Explanation: Let the sum be Rs. p, rate be R% p.a. and time be T years. Then,  P×T×(R+2)100-P×T×R100=108  ⇒2PT= 10800  ...... (1)  And,   P×R×(T+2)100-P×R×T100=180   ⇒2PR = 18000 ......(2) Clearly, from (1) and (2), we cannot find the value of pSo, the data is not sufficient.

Answer: C) 40 triangles, 7 Squares Explanation: The figure may be labelled as shown      Triangles :   The Simplest triangles are BGM, GHM, HAM, ABM, GIN, IJN, JHN, HGN, IKO, KLO, LJO, JIO, KDP, DEP, ELP, LKP, BCD and AFE i.e 18 in number   The triangles composed of two components each are ABG, BGH, GHA, HAB, HGI, GIJ, IJH, JHG, JIK, IKL, KLJ,LJI, LKD, KDE, DEL and ELK i.e 16 in number.   The triangles composed of four components each are BHI, GJK, ILD, AGJ, HIL and JKE i.e 6 in number.   Total number of triangles in the figure = 18 + 16 + 6 =40.   Squares :   The Squares composed of two components each are MGNH, NIOJ, and OKPL i.e 3 in number   The Squares composed of four components each are BGHA, GIJH, IKJL and KDEL i.e 4 in number   Total number of squares in the figure = 3 + 4 =7
