Explanation

In indirect speech, "Need I" changes to "if he had to," and "this chapter" becomes "that chapter" for proper tense and reported speech structure.

Explanation

Total distance covered by both trains = 1160 + 1160 = 2320 meters

Time taken to cross each other = 20 seconds

Relative speed (combined speed of both trains) = Total distance / Time = 2320 / 20 = 116 meters/second

Since both trains have the same speed, the speed of each train = Relative speed / 2 = 116 / 2 = 58 meters/second

Convert meters/second to km/second: 58 / 1000 = 0.058 km/second (approximately)

Convert km/second to km/hour: 0.058 * 3600 = 208.8 km/hour

Explanation

Let's break down Zara's journey step by step:

1. She walks 4 km northwards, which means she is now 4 km away from her starting point in the northern direction.

2. Then, she turns left and goes 3 km, which means she is now moving in the western direction (since she turned left from north). So, she is now 3 km west and 4 km north of her starting point.

3. Next, she turns left again and goes 1 km, which means she is now moving in the southern direction (since she turned left from west). So, she is now 3 km west and 3 km north (since she covered 1 km of the 4 km she was north) of her starting point.

4. Finally, she turns right and walks straight, which means she is now moving in the western direction again (since she turned right from south).

Therefore, Zara is walking in the western direction.

Explanation

The sky was clear, and the sun was setting.

A compound sentence joins two independent clauses using a coordinating conjunction like "and."

Here, both "The sky was clear" and "The sun was setting" are independent clauses combined with "and."

Explanation

These presidencies were given the power to make laws for their respective regions.

The act restored the legislative powers that had been taken away by the Charter Act of 1833.

Explanation

Number of students who like football or hockey = Number of students who like football + Number of students who like hockey - Number of students who like both

We know that the total number of students is 49, and the number of students who like football or hockey is the sum of the students who like football and the students who like hockey, minus the students who like both (to avoid double-counting).

Let's denote the number of students who like both football and hockey as x.

Then, we can set up the equation:

49 = 35 + 29 - x

Combine like terms:

49 = 64 - x

Subtract 64 from both sides:

-15 = -x

Divide by -1:

x = 15

So, the number of students who like both football and hockey is 15.

Explanation

Let's say Asad gives x sweets to Ahsan.

Then, Asad will have 20 - x sweets left.

And Ahsan will have 55 + x sweets.

We want Ahsan to have four times as many sweets as Asad, so we set up the equation:

55 + x = 4(20 - x)

Simplifying the equation, we get:

55 + x = 80 - 4x

Add 4x to both sides:

55 + 5x = 80

Subtract 55 from both sides:

5x = 25

Divide by 5:

x = 5

So Asad should give 5 sweets to Ahsan.

Then, Asad will have 20 - 5 = 15 sweets.

And Ahsan will have 55 + 5 = 60 sweets.

Indeed, Ahsan will have four times as many sweets as Asad: 60 = 4 × 15.

The correct answer is: 5

Explanation

The Mediterranean Sea is bordered by 21 countries: Albania, Algeria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Cyprus, Egypt, France, Greece, Israel, Italy, Lebanon, Libya, Malta, Monaco, Montenegro, Morocco, Slovenia, Spain, Syria, Tunisia, and Turkey.

It is connected to the Atlantic Ocean by the Strait of Gibraltar.

Explanation

The pattern in the analogy is based on the alphabetical position of each letter:

B (2) → P (16) (Shift by +14)

D (4) → T (20) (Shift by +16)

G (7) → Y (25) (Shift by +18)

K (11) → F (6) (Shift by -5)

Applying the same shifts to TVYC:

T (20) → H (8) (Shift by -12)

V (22) → L (12) (Shift by -10)

Y (25) → O (15) (Shift by -10)

C (3) → W (23) (Shift by +20)

So, TVYC maps to HLOW.

Important Note: According to SPSC and Topper Website Option A: HLOW is right answer.
