A scientific theory is a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world, based on a body of facts that have been repeatedly confirmed through observation and experiment. Such fact-supported theories are not "guesses" but reliable accounts of the real world. Scientific theories are not ever proved in the sense of being proved to be 100% correct.

Examples of some scientific theories are ::

Evolution, gravity, atomic theory, the germ theory of disease, relativity, quantum theory, electromagnetic theory, layered Earth theory, etc...

The PS command prints the process status for some or all of the running processes

P( only one of them will be selected) = p[(E and not F) or (F and not E)] 

 = PE∩F∪F∩E 

= PEPF+PFPE

Given ratio of number of sheep and horses = 4 : 15
Let number of sheep and horses are 4k and 15k
Number of horses = 13200/110 = 120
Now 15K = 120 and k = 8
Number of sheep = 4k = (4 x 8) = 32

We know that 1 yard = 3 feet. 

A yardstick which is used for measurement has 3 feet long but it cannot walk.

The servant worked for 9 days instead of 12 days, he should receive 9/12 of his total payment

Let the price of 1 shirt be Rs. S 

i.e., 3/4 (400 + S).

However, the question states that the servant receive Rs. 280 + S where S is the price of the shirt.

By equating the two equations we get 3/4 (400 + S) = 280 + S.

Therefore, Price of the shirt S = Rs. 80.

1/K + 1/L + 1/M = 1/8 (Given)
Also given that K = 2L and L = 2M
=> 1/2L + 1/L + 2/L = 1/8
=> (1 + 2 + 4)/2L = 1/8
=> 2L/7 = 8
=> L = 28 hours.

Let filling capacity of the pump be 'F' m3/min

Then, the filling capacity of the pump will be (F + 10) m3/min

From the given data,

$$\begin{gathered} 2400F - 2400F+10= 8 \\ ⇒ 2400 F+10-FF(F+10) =8 \\ ⇒ F2 + 10F - 3000 = 0 \\ ⇒ F = 50 m3/min \end{gathered}$$
