Correct Answer: 392 cm²

Solution : Given: The height of the triangle = 56 cm, and the base = $\frac{1}{4}$ × 56 = 14 cm
Therefore, the area of the triangle
= $\frac{1}{2}$ × Height × Base
= $\frac{1}{2}$ × 56 × 14
= 392 cm²
Hence, the correct answer is 392 cm².

Correct Answer: Rani

Solution : Given:
Vidhi is sitting second to the left of Sriti and is in between Tania and Urusha.

(II) Sriti is not a neighbour to Rani or Tania.

So, Rani is sitting to the immediate right of Priti. Hence, the fourth option is correct.

Correct Answer: 64 km/hr

Solution : Let the distance of each trip be $d$.
For the first trip,
speed = 240 km/hr
$\therefore$ time = $\frac{d}{240}$
For the second trip,
speed = $\frac{240}{2}$ = 120 km/hr
$\therefore$ time = $\frac{d}{120}$
For the third trip,
speed = $\frac{120}{2}$ = 60 km/hr
$\therefore$ time = $\frac{d}{60}$
For the fourth trip,
speed = $\frac{60}{2}$ = 30 km/hr
$\therefore$ time = $\frac{d}{30}$
Average speed = $\frac{\text{total distance}}{\text{total time}}$
= $\frac{d+d+d+d}{\frac{d}{240}+\frac{d}{120}+\frac{d}{60}+\frac{d}{30}}$
= $\frac{4d}{\frac{15d}{240}}$
= $\frac{960}{15}$
= 64 km/hr
Hence, the correct answer is 64 km/hr.

Correct Answer: Neither conclusion follows

Solution : According to the given statements, the Venn diagram is –

Let us analyse the conclusions –
Conclusion I: All S are P – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that the circles representing S and P overlap and have a part of their area in common. So, it can be concluded that some S are P but all S are not P.
Conclusion II:. All L are S – It is a possibility that the circle representing L is completely overlapped by the circle representing S. But this is not definite. So, this conclusion does not follow.

So, neither conclusion follows. Hence, the second option is correct.

Correct Answer: 1 and 4

Solution : Given:
8 × 1 – 9 ÷ 3 + 4 = 30

Replace the given numbers according to the options one by one with the original numbers in the given equation.
First option: 4 and 3
Solving the L.H.S. of the equation –
= 8 × 1 – 9 ÷ 4 + 3
= 8 × 1 – 2.25 + 3
= 8 – 2.25 + 3
= 8.75 ≠ 30
Second option: 1 and 4
Solving the L.H.S. of the equation –
= 8 × 4 – 9 ÷ 3 + 1
= 8 × 4 – 3 + 1
= 32 – 3 + 1
= 30 = R.H.S.
Third option: 3 and 9
Solving the L.H.S. of the equation –
= 8 × 1 – 3 ÷ 9 + 4
= 8 × 1 – 0.34 + 4
= 8 – 0.34 + 4
= 11.67 ≠ ​​​​​​​30​​​​​​​
Fourth option: 8 and 4
Solving the L.H.S. of the equation –
= 4 × 1 – 9 ÷ 3 + 8
= 4 × 1 – 3 + 8
= 4 – 3 + 8
= 9 ≠​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​30

So, only the second option satisfies the R.H.S. of the given equation. Hence, the second option is correct.
