Answer: A) Thermosphere Explanation: In terms of the Earth's atmosphere, they occupy regions called the thermosphere and the exosphere. The layer through which a satellite orbits depends on the satellite's function and the kind of orbit it has.   The thermosphere is a region of very high temperature that extends from the top of the mesosphere at around 85 kilometers (53 miles) up to 640 kilometers (400 miles) above the Earth's surface. It is called the thermosphere because temperatures can reach up to 1,500 degrees Celsius (2,732 degrees Fahrenheit).   However, despite the high temperatures, the pressure is very low, so satellites don't suffer heat damage.

Answer: C) p > q Explanation: kl>k+1l+1 for (k,l) > 0 and  k > l        Let     k = x+1    and   l = x       Therefore, x+1x>(x+1)+1(x)+1        (x + 1) > x       Therefore, log(x+1)log(x)>log(x+2)log(x+1)       ⇒logxx+1 >logx+1x+2

Answer: B) 480 lit Explanation: 1/k - 1/20 = -1/24 k = 120 120 x 4 = 480 Therefore, the capacity of the cistern is 480 liters.

Answer: B) 217.50 Explanation: Given expression = (45 x 750/100) - (25 x 480/100) = (337.50 - 120) = 217.50

Answer: D) 64 Explanation: We know that Cubes with no surface painted can be find using x-23, where x is number of cuttings. Here x=6.  ∴ 6-23=64

Answer: D) 5/21 Explanation: Number of ways of (selecting at least two couples among five people selected) = (⁵C₂ x ⁶C₁) As remaining person can be any one among three couples left. Required probability = (⁵C₂ x ⁶C₁)/¹⁰C₅= (10 x 6)/252 = 5/21

Answer: C) It prevented railroads from charging farmers more than other customers. Explanation: In 1887 Congress passed the Interstate Commerce Act, making the railroads the first industry subject to Federal regulation. Congress passed the law largely in response to public demand that railroad operations be regulated.   Railroads discriminated in the prices they charged to passengers and shippers in different localities by providing rebates to large shippers or buyers. These practices were especially harmful to American farmers, who lacked the shipment volume necessary to obtain more favorable rates.
