Answer : 4. "Na-F"
Explanation :
Answer: D) Na-F Explanation: F-F = 4 - 4 = 0 Ca-F = 4 - 1 = 3.0 H-F = 4 - 2.2 = 1.8 Na-F = 4 - 0.93 = 3.07 Hence, the highest electronegativity difference is in Na-F.

Answer : 3. "175"
Explanation :
Answer: C) 175 Explanation: Given that, working days = 5 working hours = 8 A man get rupess per hour is Rs.2.40 So in one day the man get total rupees is 2.40 x 8 = 19.2 So in 5 days week the man get total rupees is 19.2 x 5 = 96 So in 4 week the man get total rupees is 96 x 4 = 384 So the man worked for = 160hours in 4 weeks But given that the man earned Rs.432 Hence remaning money is (432-384 = 48)which is earn by doing overtime work Overtime hours = 48/3.20 = 15 So total worked hours is = 15 + 160 = 175.

Answer : 2. "13 + 1/3 days"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 13 + 1/3 days Explanation: C alone can finish the work in 40 days.As given C does half as much work as A and B together => (A + B) can do it in 20 days(A + B)s 1 days wok = 1/20.A's 1 days work : B's 1 days Work = 1/2 : 1 = 1:2(given)A's 1 day’s work = (1/20) x (1/3) = (1/60) [Divide 1/20 in the raio 1:2]B's 1 days work = (1/20) x (2/3) = 1/30(A+B+C)'s 1 day's work = (1/60) + (1/30) + (1/40) = 9/120 = 3/40 All the three together will finish it in 40/3 = 13 and 1/3 days.

Answer : 1. "120"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 120 Explanation: 1/15 + 1/12 + 1/R = 1/6, we got R = 60 (it means R will take 60 days to complete the work alone) so ratio of work done by P:Q:R = 1/15 : 1/12 : 1/60 = 5 : 4 : 1 so R share = (1/10) x 1200 = 120.

Answer : 4. "72"
Explanation :
Answer: D) 72 Explanation: If number of visitors on 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th & 5th day are k, l, m, n & o respectively, thenk + l + m + n = 58 x 4 = 232 ---- (i) & l + m + n + o = 60 x 4 = 240 ---- (ii)Subtracting (i) from (ii), we get o-k = 8 ---(iii)Given, k/o = 8/9 ----(iv)So from (iii) & (iv), we geta = 64, e = 72Therefore, number of visitors on 5th day is 72.

Answer : 2. "20th April, Saturday"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 20th April, Saturday Explanation: Given Today is 20th January 2017, Sunday In january, we have 31 days February - 28 days (Non leap year) March - 31 days April - 30 days => Remaining days => 31 - 20 = 11 in Jan + 28 in Feb + 31 in Mar = 11 + 28 + 31 = 70 days More 20 days to complete 90 days => upto 20th April Therefore, after 90 days from today i.e, 20th Jan 2017 is 20th Apr 2017. Now, the day of the week will be 90/7 => Remainder '6' As the day starts with '0' on sunday 6 => Saturday. Required day is 20th April, Saturday.
