[ "7N", "15N", "10N", "20N" ]
C
In 1992, the company's assets were N. In 1993, the company's assets were N + 4N = 5N. In 1994, the company's assets were 5N + 5N = 10N. The answer is C.

Dolphins are interesting animals and researchers find them interesting to watch. They don't have hands, but can use tools to solve problems, just like us. Scientists have observed a dolphin trying to get a shy eel to come out of its hole by poking it with a dead fish. Many species of dolphin live in large societies. T...

If point A coordinates are (-7, -2) point B coordinates are (8 ,4 ) if C is along the line A-B so that AC = 1/2 CB. What are the coordinates of point C.
[ "(-2, - 2/3)", "(0, 2)", "(2/3, -2)", "(2, -2/3)" ]

Look at the diagram below: Line segment.pngSince, AC= 1/2 CB, then AC = 1/3 AB. This implies that point C is closer to A than to B, which on the other hand implies that the x-coordinate of C must be less than (-7+8)/2=0.5. Only D and A fits, but as (0 , 2) is clearly not on line segment AB, then the answer must be D. A...

[ "7: 42 am", "7:60 am", "7:50 am", "7:30 am" ]
A
Explanation: Relative speed between two = 6-1 = 5 round per hour They will cross when one round will complete with relative speed, which is 1/5 hour = 12 mins. So 7:30 + 12 mins = 7:42 Option C
