A) fish are cold-blooded animals B) ice is a bad conductor of heat
C) there will always be water just beneath the ice level D) they can adapt themselves to live in ice
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) there will always be water just beneath the ice level

Explanation:

Water has the maximum density at 4oC. So at this temperature, it sinks down to bottom and stays here. If it cools further, it will become less dense and move up. So while the upper layers can cool enough to form ice, the bottom layers remain as water at  4oC .  

Therefore, (C) is correct.

Q:

A can do a work in 9 days, B can do a work in 7 days, C can do a work in 5 days. A works on the first day, B works on the second day and C on the third day respectively that is they work on alternate days. When will they finish the work ?

A) [7 + (215/345)] days B) [6 + (11/215)] days
C) [6 + (261/315)] days D) [5 + (112/351)] days
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) [6 + (261/315)] days

Explanation:

After day 1, A finishes 1/9 of the work.

After day 2, B finishes 1/7 more of the total work. (1/9) + (1/7) is finished.

After day 3, C finishes 1/5 more of total work. Total finished is 143/315.

So, after day 6, total work finished is 286/315.

 

Now remaining work =  29 /315

 

On day 7, A will work again 

 

Work will be completed on day 7 when A is working. He must finish 29/315 of total remaining work.

 

Since he takes 9 days to finish the total task, he will need 261/315 of the day. 

 

Total days required is 6 + (261/315) days.
