3 x 1.5 + 1.5 = 6

6 x 2.5 + 2.5 = 17.5

17.5 x 3.5 + 3.5 = 64.75

64.75 x 4.5 + 4.5 = 295.875

The Prime Minister Narendra Modi has inaugurated India’s longest bridge “Dhola-Sadia Bridge” in Assam on May 26, 2017. This three lane, 9.15 kilometre bridge has been built over river Lohit, a tributary of the Brahmaputra river. It links Dhola in Assam to Sadia. The bridge will reduce the distance from Rupai on NH- 37 in Assam to Meka-Roing on NH-52 in Arunachal Pradesh by 165 KM. The travel time between the two places will come down from the current six hours to just one hour, a total five hour reduction. This will result in saving of petrol and diesel worth Rs 10 Lakh per day. It will also cater to the strategic requirements of the country in the border areas of Arunachal Pradesh, besides facilitating numerous hydro power projects coming up in the state.

Let 'M' be the maximum marks in the examination.

Therefore, Madhu got 32% of M = 32M/100 = 0.32M
And Kumar got 42% of M = 42M/100 = 0.42M.
In terms of the maximum marks Kumar got 0.42M - 0.32M = 0.1M more than Madhu. ---- (1)

The problem however, states that Kumar got 16 marks more than the cut-off mark and Madhu got 8 marks less than the cut-off mark. Therefore, Kumar has got 16 + 8 = 24 marks more than Madhu. ---- (2)

Now, Equating (1) and (2), we get
0.1M = 24 => M = 24/0.1 = 240
'M' is the maximum mark and is equal to 240 marks.
We know that Madhu got 32% of the maximum marks.
Therefore, Madhu got 32 x 240/100 = 76.8 marks.
We also know that Madhu got 8 marks less than the cut-off marks.

Therefore, the cut-off marks will be 8 marks more than what Madhu got
= 76.8 + 8 = 84.8.

Let the place be at a distance of 'd' kms

From the given data,

$$\begin{gathered} d5 - 1 + d5 + 1 = 7560 kms \\ d4 + d6 = 54 \\ \end{gathered}$$

5d/12 = 5/4 => d = 3 kms.

Hence, the place is 3 kms far.

Giraffe has the highest blood pressure among animals. 

This is due to the fact that there is a large pressure drop (~100 mmhg) as the blood is transported from the heart, up the neck, to the brain. This is about twice the normal blood pressure of humans (120/80 mmhg).

The U.S. e-commerce giant, Amazon has been awarded a patent for launching a giant flying warehouse that would acts as a launch pad for drones to deliver items within minutes.The patent reveals plans for setting up an “Airborne Fulfillment Center” (AFC) such as an Airship or Blimp, floating at an altitude of around 45,000 and stocked with lots of products especially in area where the demand for certain items is expected to be high. When a customer places an order, a drone or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) will fly down and deliver the package. The patent claims that this would require little or no power because the drone would be gliding down rather than having to take off and land.
