A) 22% B) 27%
C) 20% D) 18%
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 20%

Given

      125% ---- 3400

=> 100% ---- ?

=> ? = 3400x100/125 = 2720

=> Cost price of the article = Rs. 2720

Profit when article sold at Rs. 3265 = 3265 - 2720 = 545

Hence, Profit% = Gain x 100/cost price

=> P% = 545 x 100/2720

=> P% = 20%

Q:

Which type of molecule is CF4?

A) nonpolar, with a symmetrical distribution of charge B) polar, with an asymmetrical distribution of charge
C) nonpolar, with an asymmetrical distribution of charge D) polar, with a symmetrical distribution of charge
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) nonpolar, with a symmetrical distribution of charge

Explanation:

CF4 is tetrahedral.

Since the four 'F' atoms have the same electronegativity values, there is no bias in electron distribution toward any one.

 

Therefore, electron/charge distribution is symmetrical, which also means that the molecule is nonpolar.

 

Hence, CF4 is nonpolar molecule with a symmetrical distribution of charge.
