Resistances of both the bulbs are

R1=V^2/P1 = 220^2/25

R2 = V^2/P2 = 220^2/100

Hence  R1gt ; R2

When connected in series, the voltages divide in them in the ratio of their resistances. The voltage of 440 V devides in such a way that voltage across 25 w bulb will be more than 220 V. Hence 25 w bulb will fuse.

The alpha and the omega means the beginning and the end; the entirety of something. (Alpha and omega are the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet).

     CP : MP = 2x : 3x

 => Profit = x

( %) profit : (%) discount = 3:2

Let  CP = 2000,  SP = 300

But  3x100×200 + 2x100×300 = 100

=>  x = 8.33%

Discount 2x = 16.66% 

The modal ‘Could’ is used to express possibility. It is simply used to state one or more things that are possible or were possible in the past. In this statement, ‘to have achieved’ needs to be replaced with ‘for achieving’ to make the sentence correct. Thus, the correct sentence would be, ‘When I finished writing the letter, I could not help admiring myself for achieving the impossible’.

Rakshasa marriage is the marriage of a maiden involving her forcible abduction from her home after her kinsmen have been slain or wounded much like its practice in Khazakh and Uzbek cultures where it is still practised as a ritual.

After 10 days : 150 men had food for 35 days.

Suppose 125 men had food for x days.

Now, Less men, More days (Indirect Proportion)

 125 : 150 :: 35 : x    =>    125 x x = 150 x 35

 =>

=> x = 42.
