Answer : 4. "Covalent- network"
Explanation :
Answer: D) Covalent- network Explanation: Graphite is a covalent-network type of crystalline solid. ┬а There are two main categories of solids. 1. Crystalline solids and 2. Amorphous solids. Crystalline solids are those in which the atoms, ions, or molecules that make up the solid exist in a regular, well-defined arrangement. There are four types of crystalline solids┬а: Ionic solids :тАФ┬аMade up of positive and negative ions and held together by electrostatic attractions. TheyтАЩre characterized by very high melting points and brittleness and are poor conductors in the solid state. An example of an ionic solid is table salt, NaCl. Molecular solids :тАФ┬аMade up of atoms or molecules held together by London dispersion forces, dipole-dipole forces, or hydrogen bonds. Characterized by low melting points and flexibility and are poor conductors. An example of a molecular solid is sucrose. Covalent-network (also called atomic) solids :тАФ Made up of atoms connected by covalent bonds; the intermolecular forces are covalent bonds as well. Characterized as being very hard with very high melting points and being poor conductors. Examples of this type of solid are diamond and graphite, and the fullerenes. As you can see below, graphite has only 2-D hexagonal structure and therefore is not hard like diamond. The sheets of graphite are held together by only weak London forces! Metallic solids :тАФ┬аMade up of metal atoms that are held together by metallic bonds. Characterized by high melting points, can range from soft and malleable to very hard, and are good conductors of electricity.

Answer : 1. "25 m"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 25 m Explanation: A:B = 200 : 169A:C = 200 : 182┬аCB┬а=┬аCA├ЧAB┬а ┬а 182200├Ч200169 ┬а => 182:169 ┬а When C covers 182 m , B Covers 169 mWhen C covers 350 m , B Covers┬а169182├Ч350=> 325 m ┬а ┬а ┬а So C beats B by (350 - 325) = 25 m.

Answer : 1. "11.11% decrease"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 11.11% decrease Explanation: If earlier he is getting Rs. 1 ┬аper hr and working for 1 hr, income = Rs. 1Now he is getting Rs 1.3333 per hr and working for 0.66667 hrs Then income for 0.66667 hrs = Rs. 0.8889. If payment per hr is increased by 33.33 % ┬аand working hours dereased by 33.33%, then 11.11 % decrease in income.
