An amorphous or non-crystalline solid is a solid that lacks the long-range order that is characteristic of a crystal. In Brief, An amorphous solid is any noncrystalline solid in which the atoms and molecules are not organized in a definite lattice pattern. Such solids include glass, plastic, and gel.

Quartz glass (SiO2) is an amorphous solid due to its short range order of constituent particles. Note Quartz is a crystalline solid while quartz glass is an amorphous solid.

Simple interest is given by the formula SI = (pnr/100), where p is the principal, n is the numberof years for which it is invested, r is the rate of interest per annum

In this case, Rs. 1250 has become Rs.10,000.

Therefore, the interest earned = 10,000 – 1250 = 8750.

8750 = [(1250 x n x 12.5)/100]

=> n = 700 / 12.5 = 56 years.

Given total number of rats = 999919

999919 = 1000000 - 81 = 10002 - 92 = (1000+9)(1000-9) = 1009 x 991.
Since there were more rats than there were cats, 991 cats killed 1009 rats each.

required percentage = πr22πr×100 =250%

Here the answer is 98.

The logic in the given puzzle:

2+3 = 8
3+7 = (7+2)x3 = 27
4+5 = (5+3)x4 = 32
5+8 = (8+4)x5 = 60
6+7 = (7+5)x6 = 72

Similarly,

7+8 = (8+6)x7 = 98.
