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.

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

Q:

5 sin(x)+ 12 cos(x) + r is always greater than or equal to zero. What is the smallest value satisfied by 'r' ?

A) -13 B) 11
C) 13 D) -11
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 13

Explanation:

Given,

 5sinx + 12cosx ≥ -r 

13513sin x + 1213cos x  -rcosx) ≥ -r 

513= cosA => sinA =1213

 

=> 13(sinx cosA + sinA cosx) ≥ -r

 

=> 13(sin(x + A)) ≥ -r

 

we know that , -1 ≤ sin (angle) ≤ 1

 

=> 13sin (x + A) ≥ -13 rmin =13

The incomes of A and B be 3P and 4P.

Expenditures = Income - Savings

(3P - 100) and (4P - 100)

The ratio of their expenditure = 1:2

(3P - 100):(4P - 100) = 1:2

2P = 100 => P = 50

Their incomes = 150, 200

Q:

12 days payment to the servant in a cloth showroom in festival season is Rs. 400 plus one shirt. The servant leaves after 9 days and recieves Rs. 280 and a shirt. What is the price of the shirt ? 

A) Rs. 80 B) Rs. 120
C) Rs. 70 D) Rs. 100
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Rs. 80

Explanation:

The servant worked for 9 days instead of 12 days, he should receive 9/12 of his total payment

Let the price of 1 shirt be Rs. S 

i.e., 3/4 (400 + S).

However, the question states that the servant receive Rs. 280 + S where S is the price of the shirt.

By equating the two equations we get 3/4 (400 + S) = 280 + S.

Therefore, Price of the shirt S = Rs. 80.
