Ques:- When a blue stone is thrown into a red sea, what would happen?
Recent Answer : Added by Deven Sharma On 2023-05-31 18:33:40:

If a blue stone is thrown into a red sea, several things could happen depending on the context and the properties of the stone and the sea:

Symbolically: Since blue and red are contrasting colors, the interaction of a blue stone in a red sea could be seen as a visual or metaphorical contrast. It could represent a stark difference or an unexpected element introduced into an existing situation.

Scientifically: In reality, the color of the stone and the sea would not have a direct physical impact on each other. The stone would sink or float based on its density and the water’s buoyancy. The color of the water, whether red or any other color, does not change the fundamental principles of objects interacting with liquids.

It’s important to note that red seas, in the context of bodies of water, typically do not exist naturally. The phrase “red sea” is often used metaphorically or symbolically rather than referring to an actual body of water with a red color.

A year has 52 weeks and every week has 7 days.
We just add up one day to the present day of the year and that would automatically act as the day of the next year.
In case of leap years in between, one extra day gets added in the entire year making it 366 days instead of 365 days in an ordinary year and we add two days in that case.

Ques:- Mr. T has a wrong weighing pan. One arm is lengthier than other. 1 kilogram on left balances 8 melons on right. 1 kilogram on right balances 2 melons on left. If all melons are equal in weight,what is the weight of a single melon?
Recent Answer : Added by samarth khare On 2021-06-23 17:56:06:

Suppose the lengthier arm of weighing pan is of x cm and other arm is y cm .Also let weight if each melon be m kg.
so applying equilibrium of torque principles ,we get
case 1:-
1x-8my=0
case 2:-
2mx-1y=0
using case 1 equation , we substitute value of x into case 2 equation;
16mmy-1y=0
(16mm-1)y=0
y is length of weighing arm and cannot be 0,
therefore ,
16mm-1 =0
16mm=1
mm=1/16
m= square root (1/16)
m=+-1/4
m is weight of melon and cant be negative.
Hence m, weight of one melon is 1/4 kg

Ques:- A man was engaged on a job for 30 days on the condition that he would get a wage of Rs. 10 for the day he works, but he have to pay a fine of Rs. 2 for each day of his absence. If he gets Rs. 216 at the end, he was absent for work for … days.
Recent Answer : Added by Qhizer On 2021-08-11 07:22:47:

30 days of earning =300 rs
No of days he was absent = x

Equating the abv
300 – 10 x – 2 x = 216
After solving for x you will get 7days

Ques:- Find out the wrong number in the series:
3, 8, 15, 24, 34, 48, 63
A. 15
B. 24
C. 34
D. 48
Recent Answer : Added by majd On 2022-08-14 16:44:45:

8-3 = 5
15-8 = 7
24-15 = 9
34-24 = 10 this one should be 35-24 = 11
48 – 34 = 14 based on the correction will be 48-35 = 13
63-48 = 15
the difference will create a series 5,7,9,11,13,15…..etc

Ques:- A boat running downstream covers a distance of 16 km in 2 hours while for covering the same distance upstream, it takes 4 hours. What is the speed of the boat in still water?
Recent Answer : Added by Anonymous On 2021-08-14 13:06:13:

Let:
1. speed of boat in still water = x
2. speed of stream = y;

Then net speed of boat upstream = x – y = 16km / 4 h = 4kmph
Net speed of boat downstream = x + y = 16 / 2 = 8kmph

Now solve for x to get x = 6kmph in still water.
