t, u, u and t.

The sequence is : tut tut tut tut.

Time taken by 8th tap = 2 x 2 x 2= 8 hours

Time taken by 12th tap = 2x (1/2) x (1/2)  = 1/2 hour

Ratio of time taken by 8th tap and 12th tap = 8 : 1/2 =16:1

Therefore, Ratio of efficiencies of 8th tap and 12th tap =1:16

Let the number of Rose plants be ‘a’.
Let number of marigold plants be ‘b’.
Let the number of Sunflower plants be ‘c’.
20a+5b+1c=1000; a+b+c=100

Solving the above two equations by eliminating c,
19a+4b=900

b = (900-19a)/4 

b = 225 - 19a/4----------(1)

b being the number of plants, is a positive integer, and is less than 99, as each of the other two types have at least one plant in the combination i.e .:0 < b < 99--------(2)

Substituting (1) in (2),

 0 < 225 - 19a/4 < 99

225 <  -19a/4 < (99 -225)

=> 4 x 225 > 19a > 126 x 4

=> 900/19 > a > 505

a is the integer between 47 and 27 ----------(3)
From (1), it is clear, a should be multiple of 4.

Hence possible values of a are (28,32,36,40,44)

For a=28 and 32, a+b>100
For all other values of a, we get the desired solution:
a=36,b=54,c=10
a=40,b=35,c=25
a=44,b=16,c=40

Three solutions are possible.

This is the number of permutations of five things taken all at a time.

Therefore, answer = 5P5 = 120 ways

We know that, 60 minutes = 1 Hour. Similarly, 60 seconds = 1 Minute.

Therefore, Minute is to hour as second is to Minute.

The kerosene oil sprayed on the water provodes a thin cating and the larvae of the mosquitoes are prevented from coming up to breathe. Thus, they die.
Hence, A is true but R is false.

The words in each pair are opposites of each other. 

Hence, Dilatory : Expeditious :: Direct : Circumlocutory.
