Answer : 1. "Rs. 620"
Explanation :
Answer: A) Rs. 620 Explanation: Let the C.P of one item is Rs. P and that of other is Rs. (7500 - P) According to the data given C.P = S.P => Px(116/100) + (7500-P)x(86/100) = 7500 => 30P = 105000 => P = 3500 Required difference between selling prices = Rs. [(3500/100) x 116] - [(4000/100) x 86] = 4060-3440 = Rs. 620

Answer : 2. "Firmware"
Explanation :
Answer: B) Firmware Explanation: The programs which are as permanent as hardware and stored in ROM are known as Firmware. Data stored in ROM can only be modified slowly, with difficulty, or not at all, so it is mainly used to store firmware (software that is closely tied to specific hardware, and unlikely to need frequent updates) or application software in plug-in cartridges.

Explanation :
Answer: B) North Explanation: The azimuth originates at true North i.e, the azimuth originates from the north point. It is a measure of how far an object forms the observer's north point. Azimuth is a technical mapping term which is used to describe the direction of an angle between north and south on a compass circle through which the circle line passes. It is the most common military method to express direction. When using an azimuth, the point from which the azimuth originates is the center of an imaginary circle.

Answer : 2. "54"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 54 Explanation: Let R, G and B represent the number of balls in red, green and blue boxes respectively. Then, . R + G + B = 108 ...(i), G + R = 2B ...(ii) B = 2R ...(iii) From (ii) and (iii), we have G + R = 2x 2R = 4R or G = 3R. Putting G = 3R and B = 2R in (i), we get: R + 3R + 2R = 108 6R = 108 R = 18. Therefore Number of balls in green box = G = 3R = (3 x 18) = 54.
