Since the color of milk is white and white is coded as black.

Hence the correct answer is Option 2: Black

The correct answer is 21 March.

Key Points

• Definition of Equinox – An equinox occurs when the Sun is directly above the equator, resulting in nearly equal day and night durations across the globe.
• Dates of Equinoxes – Equinoxes occur twice a year: around March 21 (Spring or Vernal Equinox) and September 22 (Autumn or Fall Equinox).
• Global Effect – During an equinox, all places on Earth experience roughly 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of darkness, as the Earth's axial tilt is neither towards nor away from the Sun.
• Seasonal Transition – In the Northern Hemisphere, the March equinox marks the start of spring, while the September equinox marks autumn. In the Southern Hemisphere, these seasons are reversed.

Given:

Total cost of 3 chairs and 2 tables is Rs.2900.

Total cost of 4 chairs and 3 tables is Rs.4200.

Concept:

We need to find the cost of one chair and one table using a system of linear equations.

Formula Used:

Let the cost of one chair be C and one table be T.

We have two equations:

3C + 2T = 2900          (1)

4C + 3T = 4200          (2)

Calculation:

Multiply equation (1) by 3 and equation (2) by 2 to make the coefficients of T equal:

⇒ 9C + 6T = 8700          (3)

⇒ 8C + 6T = 8400          (4)

Subtract equation (4) from equation (3):

⇒ 9C + 6T - (8C + 6T) = 8700 - 8400

⇒ C = 300

Substitute C = 300 back into equation (1):

⇒ 3(300) + 2T = 2900

⇒ 900 + 2T = 2900

⇒ 2T = 2000

⇒ T = 1000

Hence, the total cost of 1 chair and 1 table is:

⇒ C + T = 300 + 1000

⇒ 1300

∴ The correct answer is option 1.

Calculation:

1 - \(\frac{1}{2}\) - \(\frac{1}{4}\) + \(\frac{1}{8}\) - \(\frac{1}{16}\) 

⇒ \(\frac{16-8-4+2-1}{16}\)

⇒ \(\frac{5}{16}\)

∴ The correct answer is 5/16.
