∴ Relative speed = 12 – 10 = 2 km/hr

Distance = 500 m = 0.5 km

Time taken to chase the thief

= 0.5/2 = ¼ hour

∴ Distance run by the policeman

= ¼ × 12 = 3 km

= 24 -10 + 9 = 23

Option B: (−22) + (−4−7)

= (−22) + (−11) = -33

Option C: (−18) − 45 + (−3−2)

= -63 + (-5) = -68

Option D: (−99) + (-44) – 12

= (−99) – 56 = -155

∴ Option A has the greatest value.

∴ Length of AG = [9/(2+1)] × 2

= 6 cm

⇒ 16767 = 14375[1 + r/100]²

⇒ 16767/14375 = [1 + r/100]²

⇒ 729/625 = [1 + r/100]²

Taking square root both sides, we get

27/25 = [1 + r/100]

⇒ r/100 = 27/25 – 1

⇒ r/100 = 2/25

⇒ r = 8

= [17/100] × 200

= 34

On observing all the options we can clearly see option B is embedded in the Question Figure.

Hence, option B is the correct answer.

34 x 5 – 1 = 169

42 x 5 – 1 = 209

Similarly,

28 x 5 – 1 = 139

Hence, option B is the correct answer.

8 x 4 = 32 x 2 = 64 – 16 = 48

16 x 4 = 64 x 2 = 128 – 16 = 112

Similarly,

19 x 4 = 76 x 2 = 152 – 16 = 136

Hence, option A is the correct answer.

Odd days between 31 August 2000 and 31 August 2009 = 1 + 1 + 1 + 2(2004 – Leap year) + 1 + 1 + 1 + 2(2008 leap year) + 1 = 11

Odd Days = 11/7 = 4

31 August 2000 = Friday

31 August 2009 = Friday + 4 = Tuesday.

Hence, option B is the correct answer.

Y and Z are common in both the dice so x is opposite to w.

Hence, option D is the correct answer.
