Correct Answer: ?ab
Explanation:
Correct Answer: 4 5
Explanation:
Correct Answer: 180 ( ?3 + 1 ) m
Explanation:
Correct Answer: 32 Km/h
Explanation:
Correct Answer: 1.8 m
Explanation:
Correct Answer: Rs. 180
Explanation:
Sum = (B.D. x T.D.) / (B.D. - T.D.) = Rs. (36 x 30) / 6
= Rs. 180
Correct Answer: Rs. 800
Explanation:
T.D. = (B.G. X 100) / (Rate x Time)
= Rs. (80 x 100) / (5 x 2)
= Rs. 800
Correct Answer: Rs. 16
Explanation:
B.G. = (T.D.)2 / P.W.
= Rs. (160 x 160) / 1600
= Rs. 16
Correct Answer: Rs. 690
Explanation:
T.D. = (B.G. x 100) / (R x T) = Rs. (90 x 100) / (5 x 3)
= Rs. 600
? B.D. = Rs. (600 +90) = Rs. 690
Correct Answer: Rs. 36
Explanation:
T.D. = (B.D. X 100) / {100 + (R X T)}
= Rs. (37.08 x 100) / {100 + (6 x 1/2)}
= Rs. 36
