A) not the electric do touch open wires B) do not touch the electric open wires
C) do not touch the open electric wires D) not the do electric touch open wires
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) do not touch the open electric wires

Explanation:

For convenience , we assign numbers to each word :

allow  children  to  play  on  the  ground

   1         2      3    4      5    6       7

It has been coded as : 

play  allow  on  children  the  to  ground

  4       1     5        2       6    3      7

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hence the given code is :

the  do  open  not  electric  touch  wires

 4     1      5     2       6         3       7

Now arranging them as 1 2 3 4 5 6 7, we have "do not touch the open electric wires'.

Hence, option (3) is correct answer.

Q:

A single pipe of diameter x has to be replaced by six pipes of diameters 12 cm each. The pipes are used to covey some liquid in a laboratory. If the speed/flow of the liquid is maintained the same then the value of x is ?

A) 14.69 cm B) 29.39 cm
C) 18.65 cm D) 22.21 cm
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 29.39 cm

Explanation:

Volume of water flowing through 1 pipe of diameter x = Volume discharged by 6 pipes of diameter 12 cms.

 

As speed is same, area of cross sections should be same. 

 

Area of bigger pipe of diameter x = Total area of 6 smaller pipes of diameter 12 

i.e πR2 = 6πR12   

Here R = R and R1 = 12/2 = 6   

R2 = 6×6×6   

R = 14.696   

=> D = X = 14.696 * 2 = 29.3938 cm.
