Explanation

Let's analyze the given sequence:

5 ? 14 10 97

Step 1: Identify a Pattern

We will check for possible arithmetic or geometric patterns.

Observing the numbers:

• 5 → ? → 14 → 10 → 97

Step 2: Check Differences

Let's check if there's an increasing or decreasing pattern:

• Difference between 14 and 10 = -4

• Difference between 10 and 97 = +87

Since the jumps are inconsistent, we may need a different approach.

Step 3: Look for an Alternating Pattern

• The missing number could fit a pattern involving alternating operations.

One possible pattern:

• $5\times 2+4=14$

• $14 - 4 = 10$

• $10 times 10 - 3 = 97$

Thus, checking backwards:

• The missing number should satisfy: $5 times 2 + 4 = ?$

• $5\times 2+4=10+4=12$

Explanation

1. Stone dropped from 400 ft tower — Impact sound heard time:

• What happens: Stone falls, hits water, sound travels back up.

• Key points:

  • Time to fall = $sqrt{frac{2h}{g}} = sqrt{frac{2 times 400}{32}} = 5 text{ seconds}$

  • Time for sound to travel up = $frac{400}{1120} approx 0.36 text{ seconds}$
    

• Total time: Around $5+0.36=5.36$ seconds (approximate).

Meddle – دخل اندازی کرنا، مداخلت کرنا

Interfere (دخل اندازی کرنا، مداخلت کرنا)

Explanation

OBVERSE (سامنے کا رخ، الٹ، برعکس)

 Opposite – (برعکس، مخالف)

Explanation

Let the principal = ₹100

Rate = 20% per annum, compounded annually

Now calculate the amount over the years:

After 1 year: 100 × 1.20 = ₹120

After 2 years: 120 × 1.20 = ₹144

After 3 years: 144 × 1.20 = ₹172.80

After 4 years: 172.80 × 1.20 = ₹207.36

So, the amount just exceeds double (₹200) after 4 years.
