C) Rigveda D) Samaveda
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Atharvaveda

Explanation:

Ayurveda Owes its Origin to Atharvaveda.

 

The early history of ayurveda asserts that around 1500 BC, ayurveda's fundamental and applied principles got organised and enunciated. In this historical construction, Ayurveda traces its origins to the Vedas, Atharvaveda in particular, and is connected to Hindu religion. Atharvaveda (one of the four most ancient books of Indian knowledge, wisdom and culture) contains 114 hymns or formulations for the treatment of diseases. Ayurveda originated in and developed from these hymns. In this sense, ayurveda is considered by some to have divine origin. Indian medicine has a long history, and is one of the oldest organised systems of medicine. Its earliest concepts are set out in the sacred writings called the Vedas, especially in the metrical passages of the Atharvaveda.

Let initially 'X' ticket has been sold.
So now in 2nd week 20% increases, so
=> X x 120/100
In 3rd week 16% increases, so
=> X x (120/100) x (116/100)
In 4th week 20% decrease, so
=> X x (120/100) x (116/100) x (80/100) = 1392
X = 1250.

Q:

A son and father goes for boating in river upstream . After rowing for 1 mile son notices the hat of his father falling in the river. After 5 min he tells his father that his hat has fallen. So they turn round and are able to pick the hat at the point from where they began boating after 5min. Find the speed of river  in miles/hours ?

A) 4 mile/hr B) 6 mile/hr
C) 2 mile/hr D) 5 mile/hr
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 6 mile/hr

Explanation:

Let the speed of river and boat be 'r' m/min and 'b' m/min.
so relative speed in upstream (b-r)m/min and in downstream (b+r)m/min.
Now in upstream distnce covered in 5 min is 5(b-r)miles
so total distnce covered => 1 + 5(b-r)miles in upstream
In downstream distance covered in 5min is 5(b+r)miles
Now 1 + 5(b-r) = 5(b+r)
1+5b-5r = 5b+5r
1 = 10r
r = 1/10 mile/min => 6 mile/hr.

Q:

Water flows into a tank which is 200 m long and 150 m wide, through a pipe of cross-section (0.3m x 0.2m) at 20 km/h. In what time will the water level be 12m  ?

A) 200 hrs B) 240 hrs
C) 300 hrs D) 270 hrs
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 300 hrs

Explanation:

Volume of water collected in the tank in 1 hour

⇒ (0.3 × 0.2 × 20km × 1000mts) = 1200 m cubic

If after t hours, the water is at height of 12m,

1200t=200×150×12 

⇒ t = 300 Hours.

Blotting paper absorbs ink by the process of capillary action. The capillary action is based on the property of surface tension of liquid.

 

All unsized paper will absorb water. Blotting paper is not sized and made bulkier to provide capillary action for faster absorption of liquid.
