Answer : 3. "40 triangles, 7 Squares"
Explanation :

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

Q: Which pair of atoms has the highest electronegativity difference?   (Calcium's electronegativity is 1.0 Fluorine's electronegativity is 4.0 Hydrogen's electronegativity is 2.2 Sodium's electronegativity is 0.93) 2706 0

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. "289"
Explanation :

Answer: C) 289 Explanation: Here the given number series is 270, 261, 279, 252, 289, 243 270 - 9 = 261 261 + 18 = 279 279 - 27 = 252 252 + 36 = 288 (not equals to 289) 288 - 45 = 243   Hence, the odd number in the given number series is 289.

Answer : 3. "9"
Explanation :

Answer: C) 9 Explanation: There were all parrots but six means that six birds were not parrots but only pigeons and koels. Similarly, number of parrots + number of koels = 6 and number of parrots + number of pigeons = 6. This is possible when there are 3 parrots, 3 pigeons and 3 koels i.e. 9 birds in all.

Answer : 4. "253"
Explanation :

Answer: D) 253 Explanation: The first person shakes hands with 22 different people, the second person also shakes hands with 22 different people, but one of those handshakes was counted in the 22 for the first person, so the second person actually shakes hands with 21 new people. The third person, 20 people, and so on... So, 22 + 21 + 20 + 19 + 18 + 17 + 16 + 15 + 14 + 13 + 12 + 11 + 10 + 9 + 8 + 7 + 6 + 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1= n(n+1)/2 = 22 x 23 /2 = 11 x 23 = 253.
