The given compound is NaHCO3 Sodium bicarbonate which is commonly known as Baking soda.

Oxidation numbers are the charges on ions. When a neutral atom loses electrons it becomes positively charged. When a neutral atom gains electrons it becomes negatively charged.

Here the C represents the oxidation state of carbon in this compound. Compounds are electrically neutral, which is why we set the sum of the oxidation states equal to zero.

Sodium has a +1 oxidation state. Hydrogen has a +1 oxidation state. Oxygen has a -2 oxidation state. There are three oxygen atoms, which means the total oxidation state provided by both oxygen ions is -6. Adding up these oxidation states we get:

1 + 1 + (-6) + C = 0

-4 + C = 0

=> C = 4

This means the oxidation state of carbon in this compound is +4.

If the interest earned is 25% more than the earlier interest then the rate of interest also should be 25% higher than the earlier rate.
Let the earlier rate of interest be x%.
Now it will be (x + 3)%
% increase = (x + 3) - x/x * 100 = 25
=> x = 12%

"Bacteria take DNA from their environment" is what best describes transformation in bacteria.

In the given options, "His stomach rumbled like an approaching train" is an example of Simile.

All the other options are examples of metaphors. 

Simile and Metaphor are both figure of speeches in English which are used for comparing things but the only difference is Simile uses LIKE or AS words in comparing and metaphor directly compares without using any words.

Let the price of required variety = Rs. P/kg

Then, respective amounts were m kg, m kg and 2m kg

= 126m + 135m + 2pm = 153 x 4m

=> 2p = 351

p = 175.5 / kg

Redistricting is the process of drawing electoral district boundaries in the United States.

The state legislature has primary responsibility for creating a redistricting plan, in many cases subject to approval by the state governor.

Redistricting has to follow certain criteria to be accepted:

* compactness
* contiguity
* equal population
* preservation of existing political communities
* partisan fairness
* racial fairness

The practice of gerrymandering involves the manipulation of district drawing in aims to leave out, or include, specific populations in a legislator's district to ensure his/her reelection.

Gerrymandering is the practice of drawing district lines to achieve political gain for legislators.
