Perimeter of the circle = 2πr = 2 * 22/7 * 14 = 88 cm. Let the breadth of the rectangle be x cm. Then, length = 2x cm. Perimeter of rectangle = 2(x + 2x) = 6x cm. Equating, 6x = 88, x = 14.67 cm. Area = length * breadth = 2x * x ≈ 616 cm².

The HCF of two numbers divides both numbers completely. Since 12 is the HCF of 36 and ‘n’, ‘n’ must be a multiple of 12. Among the options, 48 is a multiple of 12 and when divided by 36, leaves 12 as HCF.

The passage indicates that the internet has had multiple impacts: making information more accessible, transforming communication, and changing social interactions. Hence, “All of the above” is the correct option.

Since PQ = QR, ΔPQR is isosceles. The angles opposite the equal sides are equal, so ∠QRP = ∠QPR. Let each of these angles be x. Then, x + x + 100° = 180° (sum of angles in a triangle). Solving gives x = 40°.

GST is an Indirect Tax which has replaced many Indirect Taxes in India. It is a comprehensive, multi-stage, destination-based tax.

The series alternates between increasing even numbers and subsequent letters. After 8G, the next term is 10I.

Let original length = l and breadth = b. New length = 1.1l, new breadth = 0.9b. New area = 1.1l * 0.9b = 0.99lb. Decrease = 0.01lb, which is a 1% decrease.

Total of 9 numbers = 9 * 50 = 450. Total of first 5 numbers = 5 * 54 = 270. Total of last 3 numbers = 3 * 52 = 156. The 6th number = Total – (Sum of first 5 and last 3) = 450 – (270 + 156) = 24.

The pattern is the first letter decreasing by 1, the number increasing by 3, 4, 5, etc., and the last letter increasing by 3. So, after W17L, it is V23O.

A’s 1 day’s work = 1/15, B’s 1 day’s work = 1/10. Work done by A and B in 2 days = 2 * (1/15 + 1/10) = 1/3. Remaining work = 1 – 1/3 = 2/3. B completes 1/10 of work in 1 day, so for 2/3 work, B will take 2/3 * 10 = 6.67 days, which is approximately 7 days.

Let the numbers be x and y with x > y. x + y = 45 and x – y = 15. Adding these two equations, 2x = 60, giving x = 30. Therefore, y = 45 – 30 = 15. So, the numbers are 30 and 15.

“She decided to worry about the problem later, choosing to cross that bridge when she comes to it” is the correct usage. ‘Cross that bridge when you come to it’ means to deal with a problem if and when it becomes necessary, not before.

Speed = 80 km/hr = 80 * (1000/3600) m/s = 22.22 m/s. Distance covered in 9 seconds (length of train) = Speed * Time = 22.22 m/s * 9 s ≈ 200 meters.

The sum of the numbers in the diagonal from the top left to the bottom right in any 3×3 grid with distinct numbers from 1 to 9 will always be 15 (for example, 1 + 5 + 9). This is because the middle number (5) is always included in this diagonal, and the remaining two numbers will always sum to 10.

Let the speed of the boat in still water be b km/hr and the speed of the stream be s km/hr. Upstream speed = b – s, Downstream speed = b + s. From the given equations, solve the two equations 30/(b-s) + 44/(b+s) = 10 and 40/(b-s) + 55/(b+s) = 13 to find b = 7 km/hr.

A ‘Mixed Economy’ combines elements of both capitalism and socialism, featuring a mix of public and private ownership and control. India is an example of a mixed economy.
