Affectation – دکھاوا، بناوٹ

Pretence (بناوٹ، دکھاوا)

Explanation

We use the formula for equal annual installments under compound interest:

Let the installment be Rs. x
Principal (P) = ₹2550
Rate (R) = 4% = 0.04
Time (T) = 2 years
Installments are paid at the end of each year.

Using the formula for compound installment repayment:

$$P = frac{x}{(1 + r)^1} + frac{x}{(1 + r)^2}$$

Substitute values:

$$2550 = frac{x}{1.04} + frac{x}{(1.04)^2}$$$$2550 = frac{x}{1.04} + frac{x}{1.0816}$$

Take LCM or solve directly:

$$2550=x(\frac{1}{1.04}+\frac{1}{1.0816})$$

$$2550 = x left(frac{1}{1.04} + frac{1}{1.0816} right)$$$$2550=x(0.9615+0.9246)=x(1.8861)$$

$$2550 = x (0.9615 + 0.9246) = x (1.8861)$$$$x = frac{2550}{1.8861} ≈ 1352$$

Explanation

The speed of sound depends on the medium's density and elasticity.

It travels fastest in solids (due to tightly packed molecules) and slowest in gases (like air).

Glass (Solid) – ~5,640 m/s

Water (Liquid) – ~1,480 m/s

Wood (Solid) – ~3,300–3,600 m/s

Air (Gas) – ~343 m/s

Explanation

"As high as" is the correct idiomatic phrase used to indicate a price reaching a certain amount.

Explanation

Given:

1. Ten years ago, C's mother was 4 times as old as C:

10 years ago, C = 15 → mother = 4×15 = 60 → Now = 70

After 10 years, mother = 80 → 2×25 = 50

Explanation

The Black Hole of Calcutta incident happened in 1756 when British prisoners were allegedly confined in a small room by the troops of Nawab Siraj-ud-Daula.

Explanation

The mistress enquired of Fanny if she had mailed the two letters she gave her the day before.

The reporting verb "enquired" changes the direct speech into indirect speech.

The past tense verb "gave" and the time word "yesterday" correctly change to "the day before" in indirect speech.

Explanation

Total work = 16 men × 10 days = 160 man-days
Time for 8 men = $frac{160}{8}$ = 20 days
