According to the given statement,

Let; the Ambu's age = x

Let; the Pranesh age = y

Ambu's age is twice that of Pranesh. 

x = 2y ----- (1)

Three years ago, his age was three times that of Pranesh

x - 3 = 3 (y - 3) ----- (2)

Putting the value of x in equation 1 in 2.

⇒ 2y - 3 = 3 (y - 3)

⇒ 2y - 3 = 3y - 9

⇒ 9-3 = 3y - 2y

⇒ y = 6

The Pranesh is 6 years old.

Then Ambu's age will be x = 2 × 6 = 12 years

Hence, the correct answer is "12 years".

The correct answer is Bacteria.

Key Points

Here is how insulin from recombinant DNA was made.

Recombinant DNA is a technology scientist developed that made it possible to insert a human gene into the genetic material of a common bacterium. This “recombinant” micro-organism could now produce the protein encoded by the human gene.

Scientists build the human insulin gene in the laboratory. Then they remove a loop of bacterial DNA known as a plasmid and…

insert the human insulin gene into the plasmid.

Researchers return the plasmid to the bacteria and…

put the “recombinant” bacteria in large fermentation tanks.

There, the recombinant bacteria use the gene to begin producing human insulin.

Scientists harvest the insulin from the bacteria and…

purify the substance for use as a medicine for people.

The correct answer is 

Key Points

• The buoyant force depends upon the density of the fluid.
• Buoyancy is defined as an upward force exerted by any fluid when an object is immersed in it.
• The pressure is more on the bottom of the object than the top of the object as the pressure increases with depth.
• These forces acting on the body are called Buoyant forces.
• Upward pressure exerted by the fluid depends upon the density of a fluid.
• The formulae for Buoyant force (f) = ρgv.
• Where ρ is the density of the fluid, g is the gravity, and v is the volume of fluid displaced.

Important Points

• When the buoyant force of liquid is less than the weight of the object, the object will be submerged or sank.
• When the buoyant force of liquid is equal to the weight of the object, the object will float on the surface of the liquid.
• NOTES: Buoyancy is the tendency of a liquid to exert an upward force on an object immersed in it.
• The buoyancy of a liquid depends upon the density of the fluid and the volume of the object immersed in the liquid.
• Thus we can say the buoyant force is greater if the volume of an object submerged in a liquid is Larger.

The correct answer is 1 and 2 both.

Key Points

• Net national product or NNP is the market value of all the finished goods and services that are produced by citizens of a nation, living domestically and internationally during a year.
• Net national product is also referred to as the value that is obtained by subtracting depreciation from the gross national product (GNP).
• Net national product considers all the goods, products, and services that are manufactured by the country’s citizens, irrespective of their location, or in other words, net national product considers products that are produced domestically and also from overseas.
• NNP is one of the important metrics for determining the actual growth of a nation.
• NNP of an economy is the GNP after deducting the loss due to depreciation
• It measures how much the country is able to consume in a given period of time.

Additional Information

• When the net national product (NNP) of a country declines or falls, then the businesses consider moving to industries that are deemed to be recession-proof.

• In case there is a rise in the net national product, then the businesses shift their focus on industries that are consumer-led, such as travel and sales in order to generate more sales.

• The depreciation that is calculated refers to the wear and tear of the capital assets and the depreciation of human capital is observed when there is workforce turnover.

• The extent of workforce turnover helps in understanding the resources that will be required to be spent by the companies in order to find new employees.

• The net national product can be calculated by the following formula:

• NNP = GNP – Depreciation

• NNP = GDP + income from abroad - Depreciation

• This concludes the concept of NNP which is one of the indicators of the economic health of a nation.

Given:

When a person sells 14 articles, he incurs a loss equal to the cost price(CP) of 2 articles

Formula used:

Loss% = (Loss/CP) × 100

Calculation:

Let the CP of 1 article = c

Total CP = 14c

⇒ Loss = 2c

Loss% = (2c/14c) × 100 = 14.28

Loss = 14.3%

∴ Its loss percentage is 14.3%.

Shortcut TrickFormula used:

\(a.\overline {bc} = \frac{abc - 1}{99}\)

\(0.\overline {ab} = \frac{ab}{99}\)

Calculation:

\(1.\overline{23}-0.\overline{86}+0.\overline{29}\)

By using the above formula

⇒ \(\frac{123-1}{99}-\frac{86}{99}+\frac{29}{99}\)

⇒ \(\frac{122-86+29}{99} = \frac{65}{99}\)

∴  \(1.\overline{23}-0.\overline{86}+0.\overline{29}\) = \(0.\overline{65}\)

Alternate Method

Calculation:

Let x = \(1.\overline{23}\)     ----eq.1

⇒ 100x = \(123.\overline{23}\)     ----eq.2

By subtracting eq.1 from eq.2: 

99x = 122

⇒ x = 122/99

Let y = \(0.\overline{86}\)     ----eq.3

⇒ 100y = \(86.\overline{86}\)     ----eq.4

By subtracting eq.3 from eq.4:

99y = 86

⇒ y = 86/99

Let z = \(0.\overline{29}\)     ----eq.5

⇒ 100z = \(29.\overline{29}\)     ----eq.6

By subtracting eq.5 from eq.6:

99z = 29

⇒ z = 29/99

\(1.\overline{23}-0.\overline{86}+0.\overline{29}\) = x - y + z

⇒ (122/99) - (86/99) + (29/99) = 65/99

∴ ​\(1.\overline{23}-0.\overline{86}+0.\overline{29}\)​ = \(0.\overline{65}\)

Given:

The fractions = \({3\over 2}\ and\ {3\over 8}\)

Concept:

a : b :: b : c then mean proportion is

b² = ac 

b = √ac

a : b :: b : c then third proportion 

c = \({b^2\over a}\)

Calculation:

⇒ The mean proportion of \({3\over 2}\ and\ {3\over 8}\) = \({\sqrt ({3\over 2\ }\ \times\ {3\over 8})}\ =\ {3\over 4}\)

⇒ The third proportion of \({3\over 2}\ and\ {3\over 8}\)  = \(({3\over 8})^2 \over ({3\over 2})\) = \({9\over 64}\ \times {2\over 3}\) = \({3\over 32}\)

⇒ The required difference = \({{3\over 4}\ -\ {3\over 32}}\ =\ {24\ -\ 3 \over 32}\ =\ {21\over 32}\)

∴ The required result will be \({21\over 32}\).

Given:

The speed of the boat in still water = 9 km/h

The upstream distance = 18 km

The downstream distance = 15 km

Formula used:

The upstream speed = B - S

The downstream speed = B + S     (Where B = The speed of the boat in still water, and S = The speed of the stream)

Calculation:

Let us assume the speed of the stream be X

⇒ The upstream speed = 9 - X

⇒ The downstream speed = 9 + X

⇒ The total time = 4 hours 15 minutes = 4.25 hours

⇒ \({18\over 9\ -\ X}\ +\ {15\over 9\ +\ X}\ =\ 4.25\)

⇒ By solving the equation 

⇒ The speed of the stream = X = 3 km/h

∴ The required result will be 3 km/h.

Concept:

The unit digit of power of a number repeats itself every 4^th time

Calculation:

791 - 358 + 2415

⇒ (7)(22 × 4) + 3 - (3)(14 × 4) + 2 + (24)(3 × 4) + 3

⇒ Unit digit will be determined by unit digit of (73 - 32 + 243) 

⇒ Unit digit of 73 = 3

⇒ Unit digit of 32 = 9

⇒ Unit digit of 243 = 4

Hence, unit digit will be (3 - 9 + 4) = - 2

Since unit digit can not be negative, we will add 10 to it because these numbers are in decimal form.

∴ Unit digit of (7)91 - (3)58 + (24)15 = - 2 + 10 = 8

Given:

The number = 24000

Concept:

28³ = 21952

29 = 24389

Calculation:

⇒ The cube of 24000 is near the cube of 28, and 29

⇒ The cube of 28 = 21952

⇒ The cube of 29 = 24389

⇒ Now, we have added a number to 24000 then,

⇒ The required number = 24389 - 24000 = 389

⇒ The sum of the digit of the number = 3 + 8 + 9 = 20

∴ The required result will be 20.

Given:

HCF and LCM of 2 numbers are 36 and 144 respectively

Concept:

Product of 2 numbers is equal to their product of HCF and LCM

Co prime numbers are those numbers that have only 1 as their common factor

Calculation:

Let the numbers be 36x and 36y; (since 36 is their HCF)

⇒ 36x.36y = 36 × 144

⇒ xy = 4

The pairs possible following the condition of co-prime = (1, 4)

The numbers are 36 and 144

∴ Sum of their reciprocals = 1/36 + 1/144 = 5/144

Given:

The ratio of efficiency of A, B, and C = 3 : 4 : 7

A, B, and C together can complete the work in 18 days

Formula used:

W = E × T     (Where W = Work, E = Efficiency and T = Time)

Calculation:

Let us assume the efficiency of A, B, and C are 3x, 4x, and 7x respectively

⇒ The total work = 18 × (3x + 4x + 7x) = 14x × 18

⇒ The C can complete the work alone = (14x × 18)/7x = 36 days

∴ The required result will be 36 days.

Given:

The sum = 14400

The time = 2 years

Formula used:

\(CI\ -\ SI\ =\ {P\ ×\ R^2\over 100^2}\)     

Where CI = Compounded interest,

SI = Simple interest,

P = The principle, and R = The rate)

Calculation:

Let us assume the rate of interest be R

⇒ \(51.84\ =\ {14400\ ×\ R^2\over 100^2}\)

⇒ 518400 = 14400 × R²

⇒ 5184/144 = R²

⇒ R = √(5184/144) = 72/12 = 6%

∴ The required result will be 6%.

Given:

The triangle has its sides as 20 cm, 21 cm, 29 cm

3 circles of radius 4 cm each are drawn at all the three vertices of the triangle.

Formula used:

Area of a circle = πr2

r = radius of the circle

Area of a traingle = bh/2

b = base of the triangle

h = height of the triangle corresponding to the base b

Right-angled triangle property:

Hypotenuse2 = perpendicular2 + base2

Calculation:

From the dimension of the sides, we can deduce that it is a right angles triangle, as 292 = 202 + 212

Area of the triangle(T) = (20 × 21)/2 = 210 cm2

Since, sum of all interior angles of a triangle = 180º, hence the area of the circles inside the triangle has a sector angle of 180º in total. Also, the sector angle of a complete circle = 360º

⇒ Area of the circles that is in the part of triangle as well(A) = πr2/2 

⇒ A = [3.14 × (42)]/2 = 25.12 cm2

∴ Required area = 210 - 25.12 = 184.88 cm2

Given:

The marked price of the article = 2500

Formula used:

SP = MP × (1 - D₁%) × (1 - D₂%)     (Where, SP = Selling price, MP = Marked price, D₁ = The first discount, and D₂ = The second discount)

Calculation:

⇒ 1763 = 2500 × (1 - 18%) × (1 - x%)

⇒ 1763 = 2500 × 0.82 × (1 - x%)

⇒ 1763 = 2050 × (1 - x%)

⇒ 1763/2050 = (1 - x%)

⇒ 0.86 = (100 - x)/100

⇒ 86 - 100 = -x

⇒ x = 14

∴ The required result will be 14.

Given:

The average speed of the person = 12 km/h

Formula used:

\({S}\ =\ {D\over T}\)     (Where, S = The speed, D = The distance, and T = The time)

\(Average\ speed\ =\ {Total\ distance\ \over Total\ time}\)

Calculation:

Let us assume the distance is D

⇒ The total time of the journey = \({D \over 10}\ +\ {D\over x}\)

⇒ \(12\ =\ {2D\over {D\over 10}\ +\ {D\over x}}\)

⇒ \(6\ =\ {D\over D\ \times\ ({1\over 10}\ +\ {1\over x})}\)

⇒ \({{1\over 10}\ +\ {1\over x}}\ =\ {1\over 6}\)

⇒ By solving the equation

⇒ x = 15

∴ The required result will be 15.

Given:

The average weight of the students = 45 kg

Formula used:

\({Average}\ =\ {The\ sum\ of\ all\ itmes \over The\ Total\ number\ of\ items}\)

Calculation:

Let us assume at the beginning the number of students in class be X

⇒ The total sum of the weight of the class at the beginning = 45X

⇒ The sum of the weight of the 4 students = 39 × 4 = 156

⇒ The total sum of the weight of all the students = 45X + 156

⇒ The total number of students = X + 4

Now, According to the formula used

\({45\ -\ 0.75}\ =\ {45X\ +\ 156\ \over X\ +\ 4}\)

⇒ 45X + 180 - 0.75X - 3 = 45X + 156

⇒ 0.75X = 21

⇒ X = 21/0.75 = 28

∴ The required result will be 28.

Given:

The total sum = 12,960

Calculation:

Let us assume share of A, B, and C are A, B, and C respectively

⇒ A + B + C = 12960     ----(1)

⇒ 6A = 4B     ----(2)

⇒ 6A = 3C or 2A = C     ----(3)

⇒ By equation (1), (2), and (3)

⇒ A + (6A/4) + 2A = 12960

⇒ A × (1 + 3/2 + 2) = 12960

⇒ A = 12960/4.5 = 2880

⇒ The share of B = (6A/4) = (6 × 2880)/4 = 4320

∴ The required result will be 4320.

Given:

The first number is less than third = 28%

The second number is less than third = 36%

Concept:

\({GM%}\ =\ {GM \over TM}\ × 100\)     (When, GM = Gain marks, and TM = Total marks)

Calculation:

Let be assume the third number is X

⇒ The first number = X × (1 - 28%) = 0.72X

⇒ The second number = X × (1 - 36%) = 0.64X

⇒ The required number = \({0.72X\ -\ 0.64X \over 0.64X}\times 100\ =\ 12.5%\)

∴ The required result will be 12.5%.

Given:

The expression = \(\frac{(68.4)^2+(31.6)^2}{(684+316)^2+(684-316)^2}\)

Concept:

(a + b)² + (a - b)² = 2 × (a² + b²)

Calculation:

Let us assume a = 684, and b = 316

⇒ \({({684\over 10})^2\ +\ ({316\over 10})^2}\over {(684\ +\ 316)^2\ +\ (684\ -\ 316)^2}\)

⇒ \({({684\over 10})^2\ +\ ({316\over 10})^2}\over {2\ \times\ (684^2\ +\ 316^2)}\)

⇒ \({1\over 200}\) = 0.005

∴ The required result will be 0.005.

Given:

The 200 men working 9 hours per day can complete 1/4 of the work = 10 days

Formula used:

W = E × T     (Where, W = Work, E = Efficiency and T = Time)

Calculation:

Let us assume X men can complete the work in 20 days working 6 hours per day

⇒ 200 men working 9 hours per day can complete the whole work = 10 × 4 = 40 days

⇒ 200 × 9 × 40 = X × 6 × 20

⇒ X = 600

⇒ The number of men who can complete the work in 20 days working 6 hours per day = 600

∴ The required result will be 600.

Formula used:

The volume of the sphere = 4π r3/3.

Calculation:

Let r be the radius of the sphere.

Then Initial volume V = 4π r3/3.

New radius is r - 60% of r = r - 0.6r = 0.4r.

∴ The new volume is \(V' = 4\pi \frac{{\left( {0.4r} \right)3}}{3}\)

∴ Percentage decrease in volume is,

\(\frac{{V - V'}}{V} \times 100 = \frac{{4{\rm{\pi }}\frac{{{{\rm{r}}^3}}}{3} - 4{\rm{\pi }}\frac{{{{\left( {0.4{\rm{r}}} \right)}^3}}}{3}}}{{4{\rm{\pi }}\frac{{{{\rm{r}}^3}}}{3}}} \times 100 = \left( {1 - 0.064} \right) \times 100 = 93.6% \)

Given:

x = 25

The students in interval 30 - 40 = 35

Concept:

A pie chart has = 360° 

Calculation:

⇒ The students in the class = 10 + 15 + x + 35 + 15 = 75 + x = 75 + 25 = 100

⇒ 1 student represent the central angle in degree in "pie chart" = 360°/100 = 18/5

⇒ The students in interval 30 - 40 represent the central angle = 35 × (18/5) = 126° 

∴ The required result will be 126°.

Given: 

Mean marks = 27.5

Concept:

Mean is the average of a data

Calculation:

Total number of students = 10 + 15 + x + 35 + 15 = 75 + x

Total marks of all students = (10 × 5) + (15 × 15) + 25x + (35 × 35) + (15 × 45) = 2175 + 25x

According to the question:

27.5 = (2175 + 25x)/75 + x

⇒ 2062.5 + 27.5x = 2175 + 25x

⇒ x = 45

∴ The value of x is 45.
