The four bonds of carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) are polar, but the molecule is nonpolar because the bond polarity is cancelled by the symmetric tetrahedral shape. Hence, making the net dipole as zero and molecule as non-polar.

When other atoms substitute for some of the Cl atoms, the symmetry is broken and the molecule becomes polar.

We know thatThe Difference between Compound Interest and Simple Interest for n years at R rate of interest is given by C.In - S.In = PR100n

Here n = 2 years, R = 20%, C.I - S.I = 56

$$\begin{gathered} 56 = P201002 \\ => P = 56 x 52 \\ => P = 56 x 25 \\ => P = Rs. 1400 \end{gathered}$$

Buoyancy or Upthrust, is an upward force exerted by a fluid that opposes the weight of an immersed object.

In a column of fluid, pressure increases with depth as a result of the weight of the overlying fluid.

Let p be the required number of days.

From the given data,

12 x 14 = 12 x 5 + (12+3) x p 

12 x 14 = 12[5 + 3p]

14 = 5 + 3p

3p = 9

p = 3 days.

Hence, more 3 days all of them take to complete the remaining work.

A procedure or method called Checks and Balances stops one branch of government from becoming too powerful.

• In the United States, there are three branches of government: The Executive, Legislative, and Judicial.

• There is a clear separation of powers between them.

• Checks and Balances limit the power within each branch.

• Each branch can stop and/or override processes within other branches in manners that are outlined in federal laws, regulations, and the constitution.

• This way, their powers are balanced because the branches of government have the responsibility to check each other.
