This problem involves finding two numbers based on given conditions (their difference and division with remainder), and then calculating the Highest Common Factor (HCF) of one of these numbers and another given number. We will use algebraic equations to find the two numbers and then apply the Euclidean algorithm or prime factorization to find the HCF.
B) 44 is the HCF of 3432 and 3916.

The lines L1 and L2 are parallel lines cut by a transversal. If the measure of one of the corresponding angles is 75°, then what is the measure of the other corresponding angle?
This problem involves the properties of parallel lines cut by a transversal. Specifically, it asks about corresponding angles. The key concept is that when two parallel lines are intersected by a transversal, the corresponding angles are equal in measure.
D) \(75^\circ\) — When two parallel lines are intersected by a transversal, corresponding angles are equal. If one corresponding angle is \(75^\circ\), the other must also be \(75^\circ\).
To find the total time taken for stoppages, we need to calculate two things: the time the train would take to cover the given distance without any stoppages, and the time it actually takes with stoppages. The difference between these two times will give us the total stoppage time.
Given:
The formula for time is \(\text{Time} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}}\).
\[ T_1 = \frac{D}{S_1} = \frac{528 \text{ km}}{88 \text{ km/hr}} \]\[ T_1 = 6 \text{ hours} \]Given:
Using the same formula:
\[ T_2 = \frac{D}{S_2} = \frac{528 \text{ km}}{24 \text{ km/hr}} \]\[ T_2 = 22 \text{ hours} \]The total time for stoppages is the difference between the time taken with stoppages and the time taken without stoppages.
\[ \text{Stoppage Time} = T_2 - T_1 \]\[ \text{Stoppage Time} = 22 \text{ hours} - 6 \text{ hours} \]\[ \text{Stoppage Time} = 16 \text{ hours} \]C) 16
The total time taken by the local train for stoppages on a route of length 528 km is 16 hours.
The question asks to identify the statement(s) that are NOT correct regarding the Industrial Sector in India after the 1991 New Economic Policy (NEP). We need to evaluate each statement based on the reforms introduced as part of the NEP.
We are looking for statements that are NOT correct. Based on our evaluation, only Statement 3 is incorrect.
Correct Option: A) Only 3
The selling price of 24 books is equal to the cost price of 30 books. Find the loss or gain percentage.
25% gain
\( \frac{50}{3} \) % loss
25% loss
\( \frac{50}{3} \) % gain
To find the gain or loss percentage, we need to establish a relationship between the selling price (SP) and the cost price (CP) of a single book. The problem states that the selling price of 24 books is equal to the cost price of 30 books. We can use this information to find the ratio of SP to CP and then calculate the percentage.
Set up the equation based on the given information:
Let \( \text{CP} \) be the cost price of one book and \( \text{SP} \) be the selling price of one book.
According to the problem statement:
\[ 24 \times \text{SP} = 30 \times \text{CP} \]Find the ratio of SP to CP:
Rearrange the equation to express \( \frac{\text{SP}}{\text{CP}} \):
\[ \frac{\text{SP}}{\text{CP}} = \frac{30}{24} \]Simplify the fraction:
\[ \frac{\text{SP}}{\text{CP}} = \frac{5}{4} \]This implies that \( \text{SP} = \frac{5}{4} \times \text{CP} \).
Determine if there is a gain or loss:
Since \( \text{SP} = \frac{5}{4} \times \text{CP} \), and \( \frac{5}{4} > 1 \), it means the selling price is greater than the cost price. Therefore, there is a gain.
Calculate the gain percentage:
The gain is \( \text{SP} - \text{CP} \).
Gain percentage is given by the formula:
\[ \text{Gain Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{SP} - \text{CP}}{\text{CP}} \right) \times 100\% \]Substitute \( \text{SP} = \frac{5}{4} \times \text{CP} \) into the formula:
\[ \text{Gain Percentage} = \left( \frac{\frac{5}{4} \times \text{CP} - \text{CP}}{\text{CP}} \right) \times 100\% \] \[ \text{Gain Percentage} = \left( \frac{\left(\frac{5}{4} - 1\right) \times \text{CP}}{\text{CP}} \right) \times 100\% \] \[ \text{Gain Percentage} = \left( \frac{\frac{5-4}{4}}{\text{CP}} \right) \times 100\% \] \[ \text{Gain Percentage} = \left( \frac{\frac{1}{4} \times \text{CP}}{\text{CP}} \right) \times 100\% \] \[ \text{Gain Percentage} = \frac{1}{4} \times 100\% \] \[ \text{Gain Percentage} = 25\% \]A) 25% gain
The question asks to identify the Indian institution responsible for facilitating low-cost loans to boost defence exports. This requires knowledge of the roles of various financial institutions in India, particularly those involved in export financing.
D) Export-Import Bank of India (EXIM Bank) — EXIM Bank is India's premier export finance institution, established to facilitate and promote India's international trade. Its core functions include providing finance for exports and imports, offering lines of credit to foreign governments and entities to purchase Indian goods and services, and supporting strategic export initiatives like defence exports. Therefore, it is the primary institution responsible for facilitating such loans.
