The correct answer is Norway.

Key Points

• Norway country is also known as the 'Land of Midnight Sun'.
• The country, Norway has acquired the name of the Land of Midnight Sun, as Norway experiences, the natural phenomena called the midnight sun.
• The land of the midnight sun is called so because the northern part of the country is located above the Arctic circle, where the sun shines 24 hours a day from Mid-May to Mid-July.
• From late May to late July, the sun never completely descends beneath the horizon in areas north of the Arctic Circle.
• The rest of the country experiences up to 20 hours of daylight per day.

Additional Information

• The midnight sun is a natural phenomenon that occurs in the summer months in places north of the Arctic Circle or south of the Antarctic Circle when the sun remains visible at the local midnight.
• When the midnight sun is seen in the Arctic, the sun appears to move from left to right, but in Antarctica, the equivalent apparent motion is from right to left.
• This occurs at latitudes from 65°44' to 90° north or south, and this doesn't stop exactly at the Arctic Circle or the Antarctic Circle, due to refraction.

The given conditions are: A + B = C + D and A + D > B + C.

A + D > B + C

Subtract B + C from both sides

⇒ A + B - (B + C) = C + D - (B + C) 

to get  A - B > D - C

This means that A is greater than B by more than D is greater than C.

Therefore, the following statement is definitely wrong: B > D

Since D is greater than B, the statement "B > D" is definitely incorrect.

So, the correct answer is B > D.

The correct answer is Gurugram.

The logic followed here is:

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Given Data:

Difference between CI and SI: Rs. 122

Rate of Interest: 5% per annum

Time Period: 2 years

Concept/Formula Used:

The formula for the difference between CI and SI for 2 years is given by: Difference = (P × (R/100)^2), where P represents the principal sum, and R represents the rate of interest.

Solution:

Re-arrange the formula to isolate the principal sum 'P':

⇒ P = Difference ÷ (R/100)^2

Substitute the given values: ⇒ P = Rs. 122 ÷ (5/100)^2

⇒ P = Rs. 122 ÷ 0.0025 ⇒ P = Rs. 48800

Hence, the correct answer is  Rs. 48800.

According to the given information:

The number in all the geometrical figures is 4.

Hence the correct answer is Option 2: 4

Given Data:

The number to which we want to add is 2055.

The number by which the sum has to be divisible is 27.

Concept/Formula Used:

When we want to find the smallest number to add to a given number so it's divisible by another number, we can use the remainder theorem.

Solution:

Divide the given number by 27 and obtain the remainder:

⇒ 2055 ÷ 27 = 76 remainder 3

Since we want the number to be exactly divisible by 27, we subtract the remainder from 27 to find out how far we are from the next multiple of 27:  ⇒ 27 - 3 = 24

Therefore,the correct answer is  24.

The correct answer is Finance.
