What type pf mining is used to obtain mineral ores that are near the surface?
[ "multi-layered mining", "core mining", "surface mining", "function mining" ]
C
Surface mining is used to obtain mineral ores that are near the surface. Blasting breaks up the soil and rocks that contain the ore. Enormous trucks haul the broken rocks to locations where the ores can be removed. Surface mining includes open-pit mining, quarrying, and strip mining.

R campers fished for 4 hours. If m of the campers caught 2 fish apiece and the rest caught a combined total of n fish, how many fish did the R campers catch per hour?
[ "2m + n(R-m)", "(2m + n)/4", "(2m + n(m-R))/3", "(2m + n)/3" ]
B
m of the campers caught 2 fish apiece in 4 hours --> total fish caught by m campers = 2m; The rest caught a combined total of n fish. Total fish caught in 4 hours = 2m+n --> per hour (2m+n)/4. Answer: E.

when W is divided by 13, the reminder is 0. if W is three more than it value and when divided by 11 its remainder is 0. what is the value of W ?
[ "35", "52", "26", "39" ]
B
W is divided by 13 so that is multiple of 14 as 13,26,39... W+3 is divided by 11 the remainder is 0 so it is divisible by 11. Consider from option let us take the number is 13 it is divisible by 14 but 13+3 is not divisible by 11 so it is not answers so let us take 2nd option 52 which is divisible by 13 and 52+3=55 is ...

An electric pump can fill a tank in 3 hours. Because of a leak in the tank, it took 3 hours 30 min to fill the tank. In what time the leak can drain out all the water of the tank and will make tank empty ?
[ "17 hours", "25 hours", "13 hours", "21 hours" ]
D
Explanation: We can get the answer by subtrating work done by leak in one hour by subtraction of filling for 1 hour without leak and with leak, as Work done for 1 hour without leak = 1/3 Work done with leak = 3 1/2=7/2 Work done with leak in 1 hr=2/7 Work done by leak in 1 hr=1/3=2/7=1/21 So tank will be empty by the l...

A man tosses three coins in the air. When they land, he finds that two of the coins have heads up and one has tails up. What is the probability that when the coins are tossed again, they will land again with two heads up and one tails up. Please note that the coins are unbiased.
[ "45%", "45%", "50%", "61%" ]
C
A 50% Explanation: When the coins are tossed there can be eight possible outcomes (2*2*2) HHH HTT HTH HHT TTT THH THT TTH If you find out, we have only four favorable outcomes. Also, the events here are independent and thus we can calculate the probability by using these only. Thus the probability is 50 percent.
