The 8 letters can be written in 8! ways.
n(S) = 8!
Let E be the event that the letters b,c,d,e always come together when the first 8 alphabets are written down.
Now the letters a, (bcde), f, g and h can be arranged in 5! ways.
The letters b,c,d and e can be arranged themselves in 4! ways.
n(E) = 5! x 4!
Now, the required P(E) = n(E)/n(S) = 5! x 4!/8! = 1/14
Hence the answer is 1/14. 

Work done by P and Q in the first two hours, working alternately

= First hour P + Second hour Q

⇒14+112=13

work is completed in 2 hours

Then, the total time required to complete the work by P and Q working alternately=2 x 3= 6hours

Thus, work will be completed at 3pm.

Given, 

25% of three-seventh of 26% of a number is 145.5

Let the required number be 'N'

i.e, 25100x37x26100xN = 145.5

N = 145.5x7x1000075x26

=> N = 5223.07

      It is a case of shifting as given below:

      1  2  3  4  5                    2  1  3  5  4

      O  F  T  E  N   →  F  O  T  N  E

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

       1  2  3  4  5                   5  4  3  1  2

1.    H  E  A  R  T       →      T  R  A  H  E    

2.    O  P  E  N  S  →  S  N  E  O  P

        1  2  3  4  5         2  1  3  5  4

3.    R  I  S  K  Y  →   I  R  S  Y  K

4.    F  I  R  S  T  →   I  F  R  S  T

Hence option 3 is correct.

Here total parts of milk and water in the solution is 6+2 = 8 parts.

1part = 640/8 = 80

old mixture contains 6parts of milk and 2 parts of water(6:2).

To get new mixture containing half milk and half water, add 4parts of water to the old mixture then 6:(2+4) to make the ratio same.

i.e, 4 x 80 = 320 ml.

When combining with nonmetallic atoms, metallic atoms generally will Lose electrons and forms cations.

As the ionization energy of te metals are very low, so they can easily lose electrons and form positively charged ion called cations.

SiCl4 is a non polar as the forces of attraction between the shared pair of electrons are equal and the molecule is symmetric.

Towel gets wetter and wetter the more it dries because we use that towel which is dried after used.
