As of 1950, the European Coal and Steel Community begins to unite European countries economically and politically in order to secure lasting peace. The six founding countries are Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg and the Netherlands. The 1950s are dominated by a cold war between east and west.

Q:

Which statement best describes Arteries?

A) They have thin walls and transport blood away from the heart B) They have thick walls and transport blood toward the heart
C) They have thin walls and transport blood toward the heart D) They have thick walls and transport blood away from the heart
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) They have thick walls and transport blood away from the heart

Explanation:

Because arteries have to have thick walls for use of protection. Its when you get to veins where the walls get thinner. And the use of the heart is to pump blood to all of the cells and organs in the body so it would be to transport blood away from the heart.

i.e. 

Arteries = Away from the Heart 
Veins = Back to the Heart.

Q:

On simple interest an amount becomes Rs. 812 in two years and Rs. 924 in four years. What is the rate of interest on that amount?

A) 7.2% B) 8%
C) 8.5% D) 9.3%
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 8%

Explanation:

We know, 

S.I = PTR/100 where P = principal amount, T = time, R = rate of interest

Here in the given data,

Interest for two years S.I = 924 - 812 = Rs. 112

Now, Principal amount P = 812 - 112 = Rs. 700 

Now,

R = S.I x 100/PT

R = 112 x 100/700 x 2

R = 11200/1400

R = 8%

 

Hence, the rate of interest R = 8%.

Q:

Equal distance is covered by a boat in upstream and in downstream in total 5 hours. Sum of speed of a boat in upstream and downstream is 40 km/hr. Speed of boat in still water is 600%
more than the speed of stream. Find theapproximate distance covered by boat in downstream (in km).

A) 45 B) 50
C) 55 D) 60
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 50

Explanation:

let speed of boat= X, speed of stream= Y
Upstream speed= X-Y
Downstream speed= X+Y
Sum of upstream & downstream= (X-Y) +(X+Y)= 2X
So, 2X= 40
X= 20 km/hr
Speed of boat : speed of stream= 600+100 :100= 7:1
So speed of Stream= 20/7 km/hr
ATQ, D/( X-Y) + D/( X+Y) = 5
D/(120/7) + D/(160/7)= 5
D= 480×5/49= 48.97 km= 50 Km(approx)
