Answer : 3. "rapid spring snowmelt"
Explanation :
Answer: C) rapid spring snowmelt Explanation: There are lots of reasons behind the flood in any area but the main reason is a heavy downpour or rapid snowmelt can flood canyons with a mixture of soil, rock, and water is a major cause of floods. When the spring times come, sometimes there's a lot of warmth that suddenly comes, especially nowadays when there are things such as global warming. So the snow melts and large amounts of water can flood the fields that are often found at the foot of a mountain or similar things. But they may also be caused by deforestation, drainage channel modification from a landslide, earthquake or volcanic eruption. Examples include outburst floods and lahars.

Answer : 1. "the existence of unpaired electrons in the valence shell"
Explanation :
Answer: A) the existence of unpaired electrons in the valence shell Explanation: When atoms react they do so in order to reach the lowest energy, which is the most stable. The electrons orbitals will overlap in the way that reduces the energy the most. Orbitals of similar energy will produce the greatest stabilisation.The answer you gave isn't the whole story, it depends what species is reacting with what. The effective nuclear charge on the atom will affect the energy of the valance electrons. Hence, the reactivity of an atom arises from the existence of unpaired electrons in the valence shell.

Answer : 1. "long, double chains of nucleic acids."
Explanation :
Answer: A) long, double chains of nucleic acids. Explanation: Gene is a segment of chromosomal DNA or a sequence of DNA or RNA that codes for a molecule that has a function. It is the basic physical and functional unit of heredity. As genes are made up of DNA it impies that they are long, double chains of nucleic acids as DNA is made of nucleic acids.
Q: At a certain rate of interest the compound interest of 3 years and simple interest of 5 years for certain sum of money is respectively Rs. 1513.2 and Rs. 2400. Find the common rate of interest per annum ? 2305 05b5cc6cde4d2b4197774e1cc

Answer : 1. "5%"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 5% Explanation: Given compound interest for 3 years = Rs. 1513.2 and simple interest for 5 years = Rs. 2400 Now, we know that C.I = P1+R100n - 1 => 1513.2 = P1+R1003 - 1 ...........(A) And S.I = PTR/100 => 2400 = P5R/100 ..................(B) By solving (A) & (B), we get R = 5%.
