The correct answer is 'A person who has been in jail many times'.

Key Points

• A "jail bird" is an informal term for someone who has been in jail many times.
• It is often used to describe someone who is a habitual criminal or who has a long history of arrests and convictions.
• The other options do not accurately reflect the meaning of the idiom "jail bird".

Therefore, the correct answer is 'Option 2'.

• Option 4) "A person who catches criminals" is incorrect because a jail bird is not a law enforcement officer.

Given:

(0.064) × (0.4)7 = (0.4)? × (0.0256)   

Calculation:

(0.064) × (0.4)7 = (0.4)? × (0.0256)  

Let the unknown number be x.

⇒ (0.4)³ × (0.4)7 = (0.4)^x × (0.4)⁴  

⇒ (0.4)^{3 + 7}  = (0.4)^{x + 4}   

⇒ (0.4)¹⁰  = (0.4)x + 4   

So, 10 = x + 4

⇒ x = 10 - 4 = 6

∴ x = 6

• to villages in Madhya Pradesh.
• Self-certification will also be given by the farmer that at present the electric pump is not operated/connected on that khasra/distributed khasra land of the farmer.
• If the concerned farmer disconnects the connection of the said electric pump or leaves the grant received on it, then he can be given a grant on the installation of the solar pump.

Additional Information

• Renewable energy is abundantly available in India and the world's largest program for the use of renewable energy products and systems is in place.
• The use of renewable energy resources, energy conservation, and promotion of energy efficiency devices is a big step taken by the state government in this direction.
• Therefore all four renewable energy resources (solar, wind, to promote power generation from biomass and small hydroelectric energy), policies, and Madhya Pradesh Energy Conservation Fund rules and other guidelines have been implemented by the state government.

"रात उसका प्राण - पखेरू उड़ गया।" यह वाक्‍य अशुद्ध है। 

Key Points

• अशुद्ध वाक्‍य- रात उसका प्राण - पखेरू उड़ गया।

Given:-

Marked Price of clock = ₹10,000

Selling Price of clock = ₹2,400

Two successive discounts = 40% and k%

Concept Used:-

SP = (100 - Discount%) / 100 * MP

Calculation:

⇒ 2400 = [(100 - 40) / 100] * [(100 - k) / 100 ] × 10000

⇒ 2400 = [60/100] × [(100 - k) / 100 ] × 10000

⇒ 2400 = 60 × (100 - k)

⇒ 100 - k = 2400/60

⇒ 100 - k = 40

⇒ k = 100 - 40

⇒ k = 60

∴ Value of k is 60.
