Correct Answer: 60 feet

Solution : Given: Area = 1785 square feet
Height = 35 feet
One of the parallel sides = 42 feet
Let the other side be $x$.
Area of trapezium = $\frac{1}{2}\times$ Sum of parallel sides $\times$ Height
⇒ $1785 = \frac{1}{2}\times(42+x)\times35$
⇒ $102 =42+x$
$\therefore x=60$ feet
Hence, the correct answer is 60 feet.

Correct Answer: 3

Solution :

69 = 23 × 3
96 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3
99 = 3 × 3 × 11
$\therefore$ The highest common factor (HCF) of 69, 96, and 99 = 3
Hence, the correct answer is 3.

Correct Answer: 160%

Solution : 25% = $\frac{1}{4}$
So, Rani : Meena = 1 : 4 = 2 : 8
Now, 40% = $\frac{2}{5}$
So, Rani : Tara = 2 : 5
Now, the ratio of Rani : Meena : Tara = 2 : 8 : 5
Let the weight of Rani, Meena, and Tara be $2x,8x,$ and $5x$ respectively.
Let $r$% of Tara's weight equal to Meena's weight.
So, $r$% of $5x$ = $8x$
⇒ $r=\frac{8x}{5x}×100$
$\therefore r=$ 160%
Hence, the correct answer is 160%.

Correct Answer: 15,600

Solution : Investment of A = INR 13,750
Investment of B = INR 16,250
Investment of C = INR 18,750
The ratio of investments = 13750 : 16250 : 18750 = 11 : 13 : 15
Let $x$ be the total profit.
B's share of profit = INR 5,200
⇒ $\frac{13x}{11+13+15}$ = 5200
⇒ $\frac{13x}{39}$ = 5200
⇒ $\frac{x}{3}$ = 5200
⇒ $x$ = 5200 × 3 = 15600
Hence, the correct answer is INR 15,600.

Correct Answer: Pauper

Solution : The first option is the correct choice.

Explanation:
The word that means the same as the group of words underlined in the given sentence is pauper.

• Welcomed: Greeted with pleasure or approval; received with gladness or open arms.

• Recognised: Identified or acknowledged someone or something based on previous knowledge or information.

• Celebrated: Publicly acknowledged or praised for an achievement.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "A BBC reporter was expelled for what North Korea deemed a disrespectful portrayal of the country and its leader."
