Explanation

Salalah, in Oman, is known as the "Land of Authenticity"

Due to its rich cultural heritage, traditions, and historical significance.

It is famous for its Khareef (monsoon) season, frankincense trees, and ancient ruins that reflect authentic Arabian culture.

Explanation

Let's analyze the situation:

When Iqra puts 2, 3, or 4 sweets in a pack, she is left with 1 sweet. This means the total number of sweets is 1 more than a multiple of 2, 3, and 4.

The least common multiple (LCM) of 2, 3, and 4 is 12. So, the number of sweets can be represented as 12k + 1, where k is an integer.

When she puts 7 sweets in a pack, all sweets are packed, meaning the total number of sweets is a multiple of 7.

Let's check the options:

49 = 12(4) + 1 and 49 = 7 × 7

So, 49 satisfies both conditions.

Explanation

Let's assume the original price is 100.

After a 20% discount, the price becomes:

100 - 20% of 100 = 100 - 20 = 80

To get back to the original price of 100, the increase needed is:

100 - 80 = 20

The percentage increase needed on the discounted price (80) is:

(20 / 80) × 100 = 25%

Explanation

Let's analyze the situation:

You have 9 pieces in total, and one half of the cake is cut into smaller pieces. Since the other half is not cut, it counts as 1 piece, and the remaining 8 pieces come from the other half.

Each small piece weighs 15g, so the total weight of the half that was cut is:

8 pieces × 15g/piece = 120g

Since the cake was cut into two equal halves, the total weight of the cake is:

2 × 120g = 240g

Explanation

To find the distance:

Speed = 60 km/hr

Time = 4 hours 15 minutes = 4.25 hours (convert 15 minutes to hours)

Distance = Speed × Time

= 60 km/hr × 4.25 hr

= 255 km

Explanation

Let's analyze the sequence:

The pattern appears to be obtained by adding 3, 6, 12, ... (doubling the previous increment).

2 + 3 = 5

5 + 6 = 11

11 + 12 = 23

23 + 24 = 47

Explanation

Typhoid primarily affects the small intestine, causing ulcers and inflammation.

It is caused by the Salmonella typhi bacteria, usually spread through contaminated food or water.

Explanation

Active voice: "Why did she return the precious books?" (past simple)

Passive voice: Use structure "Why + were + object + past participle?"

So, it becomes: Why were the precious books returned?

Explanation

Let's denote the batsman's average after 15 innings as x. Then, the total runs scored in 15 innings is 15x.

After scoring 64 runs in the 16th inning, the new average becomes x + 3.

The total runs scored in 16 innings is 15x + 64.

The new average is (15x + 64) / 16 = x + 3

Multiply both sides by 16:

15x + 64 = 16x + 48

Subtract 15x from both sides:

64 = x + 48

Subtract 48 from both sides:

16 = x

So, the average after 15 innings is 16.

The average after 16 innings is x + 3 = 16 + 3 = 19.
