Question : Which layer of the atmosphere helps in radio transmission?
Option 1: Exosphere
Option 2: Thermosphere
Option 3: Mesosphere
Option 4: Stratosphere
Correct Answer: Thermosphere
Solution : The correct answer is Thermosphere.

Question : In the given figure, $O$ is the centre of the circle and $\angle AOC=140°$. Find $\angle ABC$.
Option 1: 95°
Option 2: 110°
Option 3: 120°
Option 4: 103°
Correct Answer: 110°
Solution : In the given figure, $O$ is the centre of the circle and $\angle AOC=140°$. So, the reflex $\angle AOC=360°-140°=220°$ We know that $\angle ABC=\frac{1}{2}$ × Reflex$\angle AOC=\frac{1}{2}×220°=110°$ Hence, the correct answer is 110°.

Question : When $x$ is subtracted from each of 19, 28, 55 and 91, the numbers so obtained in this order, are in proportion. What is the mean proportional between ($x$ + 9) and $x$2?
Option 1: 27
Option 2: 32
Option 3: 28
Option 4: 24
Correct Answer: 28
Solution : When $x$ is subtracted from each of 19, 28, 55, and 91, the obtained numbers are in proportion. Using the concept of Componendo and Dividendo Rule If $\frac ab=\frac cd$, then $\frac{a+b}{a-b}=\frac{c+d}{c-d}$ Given numbers are 19, 28, 55, 91 According to the question, $(19 -
Question : Precipitation in the form of a mixture of rain and snow is called
Option 1: Drizzle
Option 2: Hail

Question : In triangle ABC, the bisector of angle BAC cuts the side BC at D. If AB = 10 cm, and AC = 14 cm, then what is BD : DC?
Option 1: 10 : 7
Option 2: 5 : 7
Option 3: 7 : 5
Option 4: 7 : 10
Correct Answer: 5 : 7
Solution : In a triangle, the ratio of the sides is equal to the ratio of the segments determined by the angle bisector. This is known as the Angle bisector theorem. So, in triangle ABC, if AD is the bisector of angle BAC, $⇒\frac{AB}{AC} =
