This problem can be solved using the concept of work and time. We will calculate the individual work rates of Ram and Shyam and then use these rates to find the time Ram takes to complete the task alone.
Calculate the combined work rate of Ram and Shyam:
If Ram and Shyam can finish the task together in 6 days, their combined work rate is:
Calculate Shyam's individual work rate:
If Shyam can finish the task alone in 8 days, his work rate is:
Calculate Ram's individual work rate:
The combined work rate is the sum of individual work rates. So, Ram's work rate can be found by subtracting Shyam's work rate from the combined work rate:
To subtract these fractions, find a common denominator, which is 24:
\[ \text{Ram's work rate} = \frac{4}{24} - \frac{3}{24} = \frac{4 - 3}{24} = \frac{1}{24} \text{ task per day} \]Calculate the time Ram takes to finish the task alone:
If Ram's work rate is \(\frac{1}{24}\) task per day, then the time he takes to complete the entire task is the reciprocal of his work rate:
D) 24 days
The question asks to identify the author of the historical work 'Early History of India'. This requires knowledge of prominent historians of India and their notable publications.

To find the tallest person, we need to establish the height relationships between all individuals mentioned in the problem statement. We will use inequality signs to represent "taller than" and then combine these inequalities to form a complete order of height.
The overall order, from tallest to shortest, would be: Shalini > (Mary and Gunjan, whose order is unknown) > Aayushi.
Correct Option: A) Shalini is taller than Mary, and Shalini is also taller than Gunjan. Since Gunjan and Mary are both taller than Aayushi, Shalini is the tallest among all of them.
The question asks to identify a specific user interface element found on desktops, characterized as a small blinking symbol or an arrow. We need to evaluate each option based on its common definition in computing.
Correct Option: B) Cursor — A cursor is a visual indicator used to show the current position for user interaction on a computer monitor or other display device. It can appear as a blinking vertical line (text cursor or caret) in text fields or as an arrow (mouse cursor or pointer) that moves across the screen to select, drag, and click on items.
How many 7s are there in the following series that are immediately preceded by 8 but not immediately followed by 3?
87898762263269732872778747794
The problem asks us to count the number of 7s in a given series that satisfy two conditions: they must be immediately preceded by an 8, and they must NOT be immediately followed by a 3. We will scan the series from left to right, identifying each 7 and checking if it meets both criteria.

To solve this problem, we need to follow the order of operations (BODMAS/PEMDAS). In this case, we only have division and multiplication. When only these operations are present, we perform them from left to right.
Let's break down the given expression: \(240 \div 8 \times 512 \div 4\)
Thus, the final answer is \(3840\).
Correct Option: C) 3840
