Q:

Where are Maglev trains used?

A) London B) Russia
C) Germany D) Japan
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Japan

Explanation:

Maglev trains are used in Japan, South Korea and China only.

Maglev derived from magnetic levitation using the principle of magnetic repulsion is a system of train transportation that uses two sets of magnets, one set to repel and push the train up off the track as in levitation then another set to move the 'floating train' ahead at great speed taking advantage of no friction. Maglev trains are therefore quieter and smoother than conventional trains, and have the potential for much higher speeds

Despite over a century of research and development, maglev transport systems are in operation in just three countries Japan, South Korea and China.

 

Hence Maglev -- Magnetic-levitation.

Q:

A man who recently died left a sum of Rs. 3,90,000 to be divided among his wife, five sons and four daughters. He directed that each son should receive 3 times as much as each daughter receives and that each daughter receives and that each daughter should receive twice as much as their mother receives. What was the wife’s share?

A) Rs. 14,000 B) Rs. 12,000
C) Rs. 10,000 D) Rs. 9,000
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Rs. 10,000

Explanation:
Let his wife get a share of Rs x
Each of the 4 daughters get = Rs 2x
Each of the 5 sons get = Rs 6x
So x + 4*2x + 5*6x = 390000
So 39x = 390000
X=10000 = wife’s share
