Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 149600 kgs

Explanation:

Let the total quantity of gold be p kgs.

According to the question,

50% of p + 25% of p + 12.5% of p = 130900

87.5% of p = 130900

p = 130900 x 100/87.5 = 149600 kgs.

Q:

P, Q and R start simultaneously from A to B. P reaches B, turns back and meet Q at a distance of 11 km from B. Q reached B, turns back and meet R at a distance of 9 km from B. If the ratio of the speeds of P and R is 3:2, what is the distance between A and B ?

A) 99	B) 100
C) 89	D) 1

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 99

Explanation:

Let, Distance between A and B = d

Distance travelled by P while it meets Q = d + 11

Distance travelled by Q while it meets P = d – 11

Distance travelled by Q while it meets R = d + 9

Distance travelled by R while it meets Q = d – 9

Here the ratio of speeds of P & Q => SP : SQ = d + 11 : d – 11

The ratio of speeds of Q & R => SQ : SR = d + 9 : d – 9

But given Ratio of speeds of P & R => P : R = 3 : 2

$\frac{S P}{S R} = \frac{S P}{S Q} x \frac{S Q}{S R} = \frac{(d + 11) (d + 9)}{(d - 11) (d - 9)}$

=> $\frac{(d + 11) (d + 9)}{(d - 11) (d - 9)}$ = 3/2

=> d = 1, 99

=> d = 99 satisfies.

Therefore, Distance between A and B = 99

Water is an example of?

A) Element	B) Molecule
C) Compound	D) Both B & C

Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Both B & C

Why Water Is Not an Element :

An element is a substance consisting of only one type of atom. Water consists of two types of atoms: hydrogen and oxygen.

water is both a molecule and a compound :

A compound forms whenever two or more atoms form chemical bonds with each other. The chemical formula for water is H2O, which means each molecule of water consists of one oxygen atom chemically bonded to two hydrogen atoms.

Thus, water is a compound.

It's also a molecule, which is any chemical species formed by two or more atoms chemically bonded to each other. The terms molecule and compound mean the same thing and can be used interchangeably.

Hence, water is both a molecule and a compound.
