Answer: C) +4 Explanation: The given compound is NaHCO3 Sodium bicarbonate which is commonly known as Baking soda. Oxidation numbers are the charges on ions. When a neutral atom loses electrons it becomes positively charged. When a neutral atom gains electrons it becomes negatively charged.   Here the C represents the oxidation state of carbon in this compound. Compounds are electrically neutral, which is why we set the sum of the oxidation states equal to zero. Sodium has a +1 oxidation state. Hydrogen has a +1 oxidation state. Oxygen has a -2 oxidation state. There are three oxygen atoms, which means the total oxidation state provided by both oxygen ions is -6. Adding up these oxidation states we get: 1 + 1 + (-6) + C = 0 -4 + C = 0 => C = 4 This means the oxidation state of carbon in this compound is +4.

Answer: A) 416 Explanation: The given number series is  21 56 102 160 231 316   21      56       102        160      231       316         416    +35    +46       +58       +71      +85       +100         +11      +12       +13      +14      +15   Hence, the next number in the given number series is 316 + 100 = 416.

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.

Answer: A) 226.65 Explanation: 55.55 + 155 + 15.55 + 0.5 + 0.05 = ?    55.55 155.00  15.55    0.5    0.05 _______ 226.65 _______   Hence, the value of the given equation 55.55 + 155 + 15.55 + 0.5 + 0.05 = 226.65.

The shadow zone is the area of the earth from angular distances of 104 to 140 degrees from a given earthquake that does not receive any direct P waves. The shadow zone results from S waves being stopped entirely by the liquid core and P waves being bent (refracted) by the liquid core. There are two types of Shadow zones: one for P waves and one for S waves.   P wave shadows between 104-140 degree, both sides; S wave shadow from 105 of one side to 105 of the other.
