Major and Squadron leader are equivalent ranks in Army and Air Force respectively . In the same way Lieutenant and Flying officer are equivalent ranks in Army and Air Force respectively.

Given (2a + 3b)/(5a - 3b) = 23/5
=> 10a + 15b = 115a - 69b
=> 105a = 84b => 5a = 4b
a/b = 4/5 => a=4 & b=5
=> bxa = 5x4 = 20.

There is no maximum age limit for the President of India. Minimum age limit for president of India is 35 years.

Graphite is a covalent-network type of crystalline solid.

There are two main categories of solids.

1. Crystalline solids and

2. Amorphous solids.

Crystalline solids are those in which the atoms, ions, or molecules that make up the solid exist in a regular, well-defined arrangement.

There are four types of crystalline solids :

Ionic solids :— Made up of positive and negative ions and held together by electrostatic attractions. They’re characterized by very high melting points and brittleness and are poor conductors in the solid state. An example of an ionic solid is table salt, NaCl.

Molecular solids :— Made up of atoms or molecules held together by London dispersion forces, dipole-dipole forces, or hydrogen bonds. Characterized by low melting points and flexibility and are poor conductors. An example of a molecular solid is sucrose.

Covalent-network (also called atomic) solids :— Made up of atoms connected by covalent bonds; the intermolecular forces are covalent bonds as well. Characterized as being very hard with very high melting points and being poor conductors. Examples of this type of solid are diamond and graphite, and the fullerenes. As you can see below, graphite has only 2-D hexagonal structure and therefore is not hard like diamond. The sheets of graphite are held together by only weak London forces!

Metallic solids :— Made up of metal atoms that are held together by metallic bonds. Characterized by high melting points, can range from soft and malleable to very hard, and are good conductors of electricity.

We know the rule that,

At particular time for all object , ratio of height and shadow are same.

Let the height of the pole be 'H'

Then

 188=H48

=> H = 108 m.

As Trains are moving in same direction,

Relative Speed = 60-20 = 40 kmph

--> 40×518=1009 m/sec

Length of Train= Speed * Time

Length = 1009×6

$$\begin{gathered} ⇒2003=6623 mts \\ \end{gathered}$$ 

Here the two pair of words related in such a way that, a blind can't see the light. Similarly, a dumb cannot speech.

Hence, Light : Blind :: Speech : Dumb.

Next train comes at 17:00 hrs.
So, last train will be = 17:00hrs - 2:30hrs
= 14:30hrs
Announcement made after 37 min of the last train.
S0, 14:30hrs + 00:37 min
= 15:07 hrs.
