What kind of mammalian reproduction is risky for the offspring but not the mother?
[ "monotreme", "sexual", "asexual", "cactaceae" ]
A
Monotreme reproduction is the least risky for the mother. However, eggs are harder to protect than is an embryo or a fetus in a pouch or uterus. Therefore, monotreme offspring may have a lower chance of surviving than the offspring of therian mammals.

Two trains 100 meters and 120 meters long are running in the same direction with speeds of 100 km/hr, 82 km/hr. In how much time will the first train cross the second
[ "48 sec", "36 sec", "44 sec", "37 sec" ]
C
Explanation: Relative speed of the trains = (100 - 82) km/hr = 18 km/hr = (18× 5/18) m/sec = 5 m/sec. Time taken by the trains to cross each other = Time taken to cover (100 + 120) m at 5 m /sec = (220/5) sec = 44 sec. Answer: Option D

Of the 14 members of a dancing group,10 can perform modern dancing, 8 can perform traditional dancing, and 4 can perform both type of dancing. If one member is chosen at random, what is the probability that the member chosen will be someone who can not perform neither type of dancing?
[ "c) 1/7", "b) 1/10", "d) 1/4", "e) 0" ]
D
You know how to solve for Total number of people who can perform at least one type of dancing: Total = n(A) + n(B) - n(A and B) Total people who can use at least one machine = 10 + 8 - 4 = 14 So all 14 people know how to perform at least one type of dancing.

A man sold 20 articles for $50 and gained 20%. How many articles should he sell for $90 to incur a loss 20%?
[ "45", "36", "54", "48" ]
C
Production cost per article: $50*(100%-20%) / 20 = $2.0 Required production costs for a loss of 20%: $90*(100% + 20%) = $108 Number of articles to be sold for $108 to incur a 20% loss: $108 / $2.0 = 54 Thus, solution D is correct.
