Given the angles of a quadrilateral are in the ratio of 2:4:7:5
Let the angles of a quadrilateral are 2x, 4x, 7x, 5x
But we know that sum of the angles = 360 degrees.
=> 2x + 4x + 7x + 5x = 360
=> x = 20
Therfore, the smallest angle of the quadrilateral = 2x = 2x20 = 40 degrees.
One of the angle of the triangle = 2 x 40 = 80 degrees
The other angle is 180 - (40 + 80) = 60 degrees.

Hence the second largest angle of the triangle is 60 degrees.

As given Kapil's 8th birthday was celebrated 2 years ago,

Kapil’s present age = 8 + 2 = 10 years.

Father's age is twice of Kapil’s age after 10 years.
=> F + 10 = 2 (K + 10) = 2 (10+ 10)
F = 30years,

Avanthi's age =1/6(F) = 30/6 = 5 years.

Rain is what only comes down but never goes up.

Let the the age of the elder boy = E

Let the the age of the younger boy = Y

Given that Y = cube root of EY

=> Y3 = EY => E = Y2 .....(1)
By the condition of number replacement the age of the father is YE

The Mother's age = EY/2

But she is 3 years less than father => EY/2 + 3 = YE
2YE = EY + 6 ......(2)

Then now from the given options we can identify which satisfies the all the conditions.

Here Y =2 and E = 4 satisfies all the conditions.

Here the given series follows a pattern that,

2² - 0 = 4  

3² - 1 = 8  

4² - 2 = 14

5² - 3 = 22

6² - 4 = 32

Hence, the missing number is 32

Method 2 ::

The difference between 4 and 8 is 4, the difference between 8 and 14 is 6, the difference between 14 and 22 is 8. So the next difference between 22 and the next number will be 10 since it follows (4,6,8,10 - add +2 each time)

Hence, 22 + 10 = 32 is the missing number.

Let the average bill paid by twenty members = 'x'

But 19 men paid each = Rs. 70

20th man paid Rs. 90.25 more than the avg bill of 20 = x + 90.25

20x = 19(70) + x + 90.25
19x = 1330 + 90.25
19x = 1420.25
x = 1420.25/19 = Rs. 74.75

But the total bill = 20 x 74.75 = Rs. 1495.

Length of the thread is 36 cms.
length wise twice breath wise once then totally thrice.
so 36/3 = 12.
so length is 12 x 2 = 24 cms
breath is 12 cms
Area of the book = length x breath = 24 x 12 = 288 sq.cm

The outermost layer of the sun is called The Corona.

The inner layers are the Core, Radiative Zone and Convection Zone. The outer layers are the Photosphere, the Chromosphere, the Transition Region and the Corona. IRIS will focus its investigation on the Chromosphere and Transition Region.
