A number consists of two digits. If the digits interchange places and the new number is added to the original number, then the resulting number will be divisible by :
[ "11", "9", "3", "13" ]
A
Solution Let the ten's digit be x and units digit be y. Then, number = 10x + y. Number obtained by interchanging the digits = 10y + x. ∴ (10x + y) + (10y + x) = 11 (x + y), which is divisible by 11. Answer D

A sum of Rs. 2704 is lent into two parts so that the interest on the first part for 8 years at 3% per annum may be equal to the interest on the second part for 3 years at 5% per annum. Find the second sum?
[ "1677", "1664", "1698", "1672" ]
B
(x*8*3)/100 = ((2704 - x)*3*5)/100 24x/100 = 40560/100 - 15x/100 39x = 40560 => x = 1040 Second sum = 2704 – 1040 = 1664 Answer:B

[ "diesel oil", "coal", "methane", "uranium" ]
B
Many of the problems with fossil fuels are worse for coal than for oil or natural gas. Burning coal releases more carbon dioxide than either oil or natural gas. Yet coal is the most common fossil fuel, so we continue to burn large amounts of it. That makes coal the biggest contributor to global warming.
