The correct answer is Igneous Rock.

Key PointsThe earth's crust is made up of various types of rocks, differing from one another in texture, structure, colour, permeability, mode of occurrence, and degree of resistance to denudation.

Generally speaking, all rocks may be classified into three major groups:

• Igneous Rocks,
• Sedimentary Rocks,
• Metamorphic Rocks. 1. Igneous Rocks:
• Igneous rocks are formed by the cooling and solidification of molten rock (magma) from beneath the earth's crust.
• Example: Granite, Gabbro, Basalt, etc.

2. Sedimentary Rocks:

• Sedimentary rocks are formed by the process of weathering and cementation or precipitation on the Earth's surface.
• Example: Sandstones, shales, limestones, Mudstones, etc 3. Metamorphic Rocks:
• Formed when rocks are subjected to high heat, high-pressure changes inside the Earth.
• Example: Gneissoid, slate, schist, marble quartzite, etc

→ (5 × 6 × 4) ÷ 10 = 120 ÷ 10 = 12 = Middle number

→ (10 × 4 × 9) ÷ 10 = 360 ÷ 10 = 36 = Middle number

 → (15 × 6 × 7) ÷ 10 = 630 ÷ 10 = 63 = Middle number

Hence the correct answer is "Option (63)"

The correct answer is Raipur.

Key PointsChhattisgarh is a state of central India.

• O n 1 November 2000, this state was carved out of Madhya Pradesh.

The correct answer is First.

Key Points

• A common balance (or a beam balance) is an example of a first-class lever.
• In a first-class lever, the fulcrum (pivot point) is situated between the effort and the load. In simple terms, it's the spot where the lever rotates or pivots.
• For a common balance, this is clearly seen as the following:
• The effort is applied at one end (you place an object on one balance pan), the load is at the other end (you place counterweights on the other balance pan), and the fulcrum is in the middle (the point around which the balance beam rotates).
• When a common balance is balanced, it means that the effort times its distance from the fulcrum equals the load times its distance from the fulcrum.
• First class levers are the most familiar in our daily lives as they include tools like scissors, pliers, seesaws, and crowbars.

Additional Information

• A second-class lever is one where the load is between the effort and the fulcrum, like in a wheelbarrow or a nutcracker or a door opened by a handle.
• A third-class lever is when the effort is between the load and the fulcrum, like in a pair of tweezers or a human arm (with the elbow as the fulcrum, the biceps muscle providing the effort, and the load in the hand).

The logic followed here is - Add the positional value of the letters.

S(19) + L (12) + I (9) + P (16) = 56

Similarly,

T (20) + A (1) + S(19) + K (11) = 51

Calculation:

\(999\frac{{88}}{{99}} \times 99 = ?\)

? = (999 × 99 + 88)/(99) × 99

⇒ (98901 + 88)/99 × 99 =  =

⇒ 98989/99 × 99

⇒  98989

∴ Option 4 will be the correct choice.
