Answer

From the assumption and trial and error method,


last three digits sum must leave the same digit as the answer. It is possible only if the answer must be units digit number leaving tens digit as carry.


And the possible 3rd digit is 5. Since 5 + 5 + 5 = 15 


Now, 2nd step is  1 + x + x + x = 5


=> 3x = 4


It is possible with x = 8. 8 + 8 + 8 + 1 = 25 leaving 2 as carry. 


Now, 3rd step is 2 + x + x + x = 5 => x = 1


 


Hence, the three dgits are 1, 8, 5.


185 + 185 + 185 = 555.

Which of the following is true of a scientific theory?

A) It is only accepted after the person who came up with it has died. B) It is a method or device that applies scientific knowledge for some specific purpose.
C) It generates testable hypotheses, is supported by a large body of evidence, and is broad in scope. D) It must demonstrate the effect of one variable by testing control groups and experimental groups.
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) It generates testable hypotheses, is supported by a large body of evidence, and is broad in scope.

Explanation:

A scientific theory is a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world, based on a body of facts that have been repeatedly confirmed through observation and experiment. Such fact-supported theories are not "guesses" but reliable accounts of the real world. Scientific theories are not ever proved in the sense of being proved to be 100% correct.

 

Examples of some scientific theories are ::

Evolution, gravity, atomic theory, the germ theory of disease, relativity, quantum theory, electromagnetic theory, layered Earth theory, etc...

Q:

K is 4 times as fast as L and working together, they can complete a work in 24 days. In how many days can L alone complete the work ?

A) 30 days B) 40 days
C) 120 days D) 80 days
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 30 days

Explanation:

Given K=4L 

-->K+L = 4L+L = 5L

 

These 5L people can complete the work in 24 days, which means L alone can do the work in (24 x 5)=120 days.

 

Hence, K alone can do the work in 120/4= 30 days.

Q:

Pavan and Sravan are two persons. If Pavan works with his actual efficiency and Sravan twice of his actual efficiency then it takes 25 days to complete the work. But If Pavan works twice of his actual efficiency and Sravan with his normal efficiency then the work is completed in 20 days. How many days would it take if Sravan alone works with his actual efficiency (in Days)?

A) 50 B) 100
C) 70 D) 35
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 100

Explanation:

Let the Efficiency of pavan be E(P)

Let the Efficiency of sravan be E(S)

Here Work W = LCM(25,20) = 100

Now, E(P+2S) = 100/25 = 4 ....(1)

E(2P+S) = 100/20 = 5 ....(2)

Hence, from (1) & (2) we get

E(S) = 1

=> Number of days Savan alone work to complete the work  = 100/1 = 100 days.
