Q:

A text book of mathematics cost 2 Rs/- more than a text book of literature. If 5 literature books cost 38 Rs/- more than 3 mathematics books, what is the cost of each literature book?

A) 44 B) 22
C) 24 D) 11
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 22

Explanation:

Let each literature text book cost be Rs. X

Then, cost of mathematics text book = Rs. (X + 2)

ATQ,

5X = 38 + 3(X + 2)

5X = 38 + 3X + 6

2X = 44

X = 22.

 

Therefore, cost of each literature text book = Rs. X = Rs. 22.

And that of masthematics = X + 2 = Rs. 24.

Owvels = 4

This can be done in 6P4 ways 

Remaining 7 letters can be arranged in 7!/3! x 2! ways

Q:

Soil erosion can be prevented by

A) Removal of vegetation B) Overgrazing
C) Afforestation D) Increasing bird population
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Afforestation

Explanation:

The four most common soil erosion prevention methods are vegetation, geotextiles, mulch, and retaining walls.

By planting grass in areas of concentrated water flow, farmers can prevent much of the soil erosion that results from runoff, as the grass stabilizes the soil while still providing an outlet for drainage.

Preventing soil erosion is critical in protecting your property and exposed soil, whether from wind, weather, running water, and even the after-effects of the forest fire.
