Given Pride is to lion as shoal is to ?.

Pride means a group of lions. Similarly, Shoal means a group of fish swimming. Here the other options have no relation with the given word in that manner.

Hence, Pride is to Lion as Shoal is to Fish.

P( selecting atleast one couple) = 1 - P(selecting none of the couples for the prize) 

 = 1-16C1× 14C1×12C1×10C116C4=1539

A periscope is an optical instrument that uses a system of prisms, lenses, or mirrors to reflect images through a tube.

Light from a distant object strikes the top mirror and is then reflected at an angle of 90 degrees down the periscope tube. At the bottom of the periscope, the light strikes another mirror and is then reflected into the viewer’s eye.

Hence, A periscope works by the principle of Total internal reflection.

Let total population = p
number of females = 5p/9
number of males =(p-5p/9) = 4p/9
married females = 30% of 5p/9 = 30x5p/100x9 = p/6
married males = p/6
unmarried males =(4p/9-p/6) = 5p/18
Percentage of unmarried males in the total males = {(5p/18)/4p/9}x100 = (5p/18)x(9/4p) = 125/2 % = 62.5%

Square units 13 by 9 of an office means office of length 13 units and breadth 9 units.

Now its area is 13x 9 = 117 square units or units square.

We know that perimeter of rectangle = 2(l+b) = 2(8+7)= 30cm
Given perimeter of square is twice the perimeter of rectangle = 2(30) = 60cm
Therefore, side of the square is = 1/4 x 60 = 15cm
Circumference of the required semicircle = πr + 2r = 227× 152 + 2×152 = 23.57 + 15 = 38.57cm.

To find the greatest number which divides the numbers 964, 1238 and 1400 leaving the remainders 41, 31 and 51 is nothing but the HCF of (964 - 41), (1238 - 31), (1400 - 51).

Therefore, HCF of 923, 1207 and 1349 is 71.

Let us name the trains as A and B.

Then, (A's speed) : (B's speed)

= √b : √a = √16 : √9 = 4:3
