Answer :
Explanation :
It can be possible in only B.C. i.e, Before Christ. That was about 2000 years ago. Given In 1990 B.C = 2000 + 1990 = 3990 years ago, a person is 15 years Old => In 1995 B.C = 2000 + 1995 = 3995 years ago, the same person will be 10 years Old Therefore, In 2000 B.C = 2000 + 2000 = 4000 years ago, the same person will be 5 years Old.

Q: A university library budget committee must reduce exactly five of eight areas of expenditure—I, J, K, L, M, N, O and P—in accordance with the following conditions: If both I and O are reduced, P is also reduced.If L is reduced, neither N nor O is reduced.If M is reduced, J is not reduced.Of the three areas J, K, and N exactly two are reduced. Question : If both K and N are reduced, which one of the following is a pair of areas neither of which could be reduced? 2988 05b5cc6b1e4d2b4197774d2f4

Answer : 2. "J, L"
Explanation :
Answer: B) J, L Explanation: This question concerns a committee’s decision about which five of eight areas of expenditure to reduce. The question requires you to suppose that K and N are among the areas that are to be reduced, and then to determine which pair of areas could not also be among the five areas that are reduced. The fourth condition given in the passage on which this question is based requires that exactly two of K, N, and J are reduced. Since the question asks us to suppose that both K and N are reduced, we know that J must not be reduced: Reduced :: K, NNot reduced :: J The second condition requires that if L is reduced, neither N nor O is reduced. So L and N cannot both be reduced. Here, since N is reduced, we know that L cannot be. Thus, adding this to what we’ve determined so far, we know that J and L are a pair of areas that cannot both be reduced if both K and N are reduced: Reduced :: K, NNot reduced :: J, L Answer choice (B) is therefore the correct answer.

Answer : 4. "Refraction of light & Total Internal Reflection of light"
Explanation :
Answer: D) Refraction of light & Total Internal Reflection of light Explanation: A Mirage is a naturally occurring optical phenomenon in which light rays bend to produce a displaced image of distant objects or the sky. It is caused due to Total internal Reflection. It is an optical illusion observed in deserts or hot summer days due to which a person sees a pond of water some distance ahead of him in which the surrounding objects appear inverted. How Mirage Forms:: 1. The temperature of other layers of atmosphere goes on decreasing as we go up.2. Therefore density and refractive index of air changes as one goes up.3. Thus a ray of light,gets refracted more and more away from the normal.4. At a particular angle when a ray of light exceeds critical angle, total internal reflection takes place and ray of light gets reflected in the same medium.5. when the reflected ray reaches our eye, it appears as coming from tree or sky .6. Hence the inverted image of tree creates an impression from a pond of water.

Answer : 4. "Both B & C"
Explanation :
Answer: D) Both B & C Explanation: Distance between two Consecutive Crests or two Consecutive Troughs is called Wavelength. But the distance between crest and adjacent trough is half the wavelength. That is the distance between adjacent crest and trough is called Half the wavelength.

Answer : 3. "Rs. 1400"
Explanation :
Answer: C) Rs. 1400 Explanation: We know thatThe Difference between Compound Interest and Simple Interest for n years at R rate of interest is given by C.In - S.In = PR100n Here n = 2 years, R = 20%, C.I - S.I = 56 56 = P201002=> P = 56 x 52=> P = 56 x 25=> P = Rs. 1400
