Explanation:

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...

Q:

A person lends Rs. 300 to A at 4% and Rs.540 to B at 6% for the same time. if the total amount that he gets at the end is Rs. 1032. What is the time?

Answer

Money lent to A+B = (300 + 540) = Rs. 840 


Amount received = Rs. 1032 


Interest received = Rs. 1032 - Rs.840 = Rs. 192


 


Interest on Rs. 300 lent to A for 1 year = 300×1×4100 = Rs. 12 


 


Interest on Rs.540 lent to B for 1 year = 540×6×1100 = Rs. 36 


 


 


Total yearly interest = Rs.(12+36) = Rs.48 


If interest is Rs. 48, time = 1 year 


If interest is Rs. 192, time =  192/48 = 4 years

Q:

12 days payment to the servant in a cloth showroom in festival season is Rs. 400 plus one shirt. The servant leaves after 9 days and recieves Rs. 280 and a shirt. What is the price of the shirt ? 

A) Rs. 80 B) Rs. 120
C) Rs. 70 D) Rs. 100
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Rs. 80

Explanation:

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.
