Answer : 1. "264"
Explanation :

Answer: A) 264 Explanation: Given 56% of 225 + 20% of 150 = ? - 109 we know that a% of b = b% of a Now, 225% of 56 + 20% of 150 = ? - 109 200% of 56 + 25% of 56 + 20% of 150 = ? - 109 112 + 14 + 30 = ? - 109 ? = 112 + 14 + 30 + 109 ? = 264

Answer : 2. "Siemens m2/equivalent"
Explanation :

Answer: B) Siemens m2/equivalent Explanation: Equivalent conductance is defined as the conductance of an electrolyte solution containing one gram equivalent of the electrolyte. It is equal to the product of specific conductance (k) of the solution and the volume (V) of the solution that contains one gram equivalent of the electrolyte.    λ = k x V   Unit of spceific conductance k is Siemens / m. Volume of the solution V is m3 Now, required equivalent conductance unit is Siemens.m2/equivalent .

Answer : 4. "10 km"
Explanation :

Answer: D) 10 km Explanation: Let distance = x km.Time taken at 3 kmph : dist/speed = x/3 = 20 min late.time taken at 4 kmph : x/4 = 30 min earlierdifference between time taken : 30-(-20) = 50 mins = 50/60 hours.x/3- x/4 = 50/60x/12 = 5/6x = 10 km.

Answer : 3. "449"
Explanation :

Answer: C) 449 Explanation: Given number series is 5  19  49  101  181  295 ? Here the series follows pattern that 5   19   49   101   181   295  ?   14   30   52    80     114   (difference)       16  22   28     34 (difference)          6     6     6  (Common difference)   Therefore, the missing number in the series is ? = 295 + 115 + 34 + 6 = 449.
