The correct answer is Liberate.

• The synonyms of it are free, release, let go, discharge, extricate, rescue.
• An example of using this word is 'Freedom fighters fought to liberate the country.

• The synonyms of the word ‘ignore’ pay no attention to, take no notice of, disregard, shut one's eyes to.
• The synonym of the word ‘pardon’ is forgiven, have mercy on, overlook, leniency.
• The synonym of the word ‘quit’ leaves, abandon, desert, abandon, evacuate, go away from. 

currect answer is 100

let, the number be 'x' 

therefore,

x - 3x/5 = 40

2x/5 = 40 

x = 40×5/2 = 100

therefore, value of x is 100.

so option (b) is correct.

Correct answer is (b)

Let the number be x.

then, it's three-fifth is 3x/5 .

Now,

x-3x/5= 40     (difference given in question)

5x-3x/5 =40

= 2x/5=40

2x= 200

so, x= 100✓

Language lab helps in learning the English language efficiently. The purpose of a language lab is to involve students to actively participate in language learning exercises. It provides students a platform to enhance English language skills, communication skills, and practice soft skills.

Language lab is more helpful in:

• Pronunciation correction: The language lab enables the students to listen to the correct English pronunciation, make them repeat, and become masters in pronunciation.
• Understanding spoken English: This lab will train the students in producing and understanding spoken English, grammatical skills, and vocabulary, overall improving the English language.
• Innovative teaching: It helps the teachers in teaching language efficiently and using innovative methods for teaching. Text, images, audio, and video can easily be integrated into teaching and learning languages; language teachers can alter learning materials to fit their requirements and curriculum. 

Thus,it is concluded that the Language lab is more helpful for pronunciation correction, understanding spoken English, and innovative teaching.

Word formation is the meaningful arrangement of words in accordance with natural laws and universally accepted principles.

• Language is systematically organized at the level of words also.
• There are fixed rules about how a singular would be converted into plural or a noun to adjective. Rules are so systematic that they clearly differentiate consonant ending words from vowel ending words and also words ending with different vowel sounds.

​ The process of word-formation consists of compounding, suffixing, affixing, and Prefixing.

• Compounding:- Compounding is the process of creating compound words. Words that combine in this way in any language to form new words (with a meaning that is different from that of the two as separate words) are known as compound words. For example:- Everything, everybody, hailstorm, earthquake, etc. In each of these words, we recognize two distinct words each of which has a distinct meaning of its own. These two words are combined to form new words with a new and sometimes special meaning. 
• Affixing:- Affixes are the root or base word that is added to form a meaning. Let us first look at some base forms of Hindi words and see how related words have been built up to increase the vocabulary of the language

1. (ghar) (ghareloo) (gharana) (gharonda)  house homely family nest
2. (vyakti) (vyaktitv) (vyaktigat) person personality personal

• Notice that in 1st the second, third, and fourth words are related to the first word which means ‘house. Similarly, the second and third words in 2nd are related to the first (vyakti) which means ‘person’. In both cases, the first word is the base word and the other words in the sets are words that have been formed by adding or affixing an additional element to the base word.

​Thus, it is concluded that The process of word-formation consists of compounding and affixes.

Reading has been recognized to be one of the primary skills to be mastered in a language. It is believed that reading can open up a wealth of information and knowledge to young learners. Reading is an active process.

• While reading, we do not merely sit as passive receivers of the text. We also draw on our own knowledge of the world and of the language to help us guess what the text will say next.
• Decoding is a skill that readers use to decode the meaning of words that they do not recognize. It is used to analyze and understand the words.
• To decode is to make sounds to figure out what a word (especially a new one) says. It helps in comprehending the text.

Thus, it is concluded that when reading, to 'decode' means to analyze and understand.

Concept used:

Factors are those numbers that divide a number completely and they do not leave any remainder behind

Calculation:

⇒ 1 × 100 = 100

⇒ 2 × 50 = 100

⇒ 3 does not divide 100

⇒ 4 × 25 = 100

⇒ 5 × 20 = 100

⇒ 6, 7, 8, 9, do not divide 100

⇒ 10 × 10 = 100

The factors are 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 25, 50, 100

∴ The total number of factors of 100 is 9

CCE (Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation), the flagship project of CBSE has clearly outlined the significance of speaking and listening skills as part of co-scholastic areas of achievement by every learner and also stresses the clear integration of assessment of speaking and listening skills as a part of the curriculum transaction.

 During this exchange, while assessing students' speaking - listening skills, mark/s would be deducted for the Speaker I as:

• as he has missed listening to what Speaker II has said.
• He was not attentive in listening.

• The Listening Comprehension section tests the student’s ability to listen for basic interpersonal, instructional, and academic purposes.
• A number of sub-skills need to be developed in the everyday classroom transaction. The Listening Assessment comprises a variety of tasks. These tasks are graded according to the length of the task and the difficulty level.
• The Speaking skill had acquired a very important place as a communication skill. Like listening skills, a number of sub-skills of speaking need to be consciously developed among students.

Thus, it is concluded that during the assessment of students' speaking-listening skills, mark/s would be deducted during this exchange for Speaker I.

Given:

L.C.M of two numbers is 1680

H.C.F of two numbers is 20

One of the two numbers is 240

Formula used:

H.C.F × L.C.M = Product of two numbers

Calculation:

Let the other number be x

20 × 1680 = 240 × x

⇒ 33600 = 240 × x

⇒ x = 3360/240 = 140

∴ The other number is 140.

Given:

Woman 1 = 10 days
Woman 2 = 8 days

2 woman + 1 man = 3 days

Formula used:

1/T = (1/T1) + (1/T2)

Here, T1 = work done in days by 1, T2 = work done in days by 2

Calculation:

Let’s calculate total number of units in form of work done

⇒ LCM of 10, 8, 3 is 120

⇒ Efficiency of woman 1 = (120/10)

⇒ Efficiency of woman 1 = 12

⇒ Efficiency of woman 2 = 15 (∵ 120/8 = 15)

⇒ Efficiency of 2 woman + Man = 40 (∵ 120/3 = 40)

Now,

Efficiency of man

⇒ Efficiency of man = Total efficiency – Efficiency of 2 women

⇒ Efficiency of man = 40 – 27

⇒ Efficiency of man = 13

For, Total work done wage to be paid was Rs 3200

⇒ for 40 units of work wage = 3200

⇒ For 13 units of work, wage = 3200 × 13/40

⇒ Wage to be paid to man = 80 × 13

∴ Man will be paid Rs 1040

Given:

P = Q – (0.30 × Q) (Efficiency)

P = Q – 12 (In days)

Formula used:

Efficiency = Work done in units/Time in days

1/T = (1/T1) + (1/T2)

Here, T1 = work done in days by 1, T2 = work done in days by 2

Calculation:

If Q completes work in 3 days than P completes it in 1 day

⇒ In terms of efficiency P = 3 units and Q = 1 units

⇒ Difference = 2 units

⇒ 2 units = 12 days

⇒ 1 unit = 6 days

⇒ 3 units = 18 days

⇒ 1/T = (1/6) + (1/18)

⇒ 1/T = (3 + 1)/18

⇒ 1/T = 4/18

∴ Time taken by both of them to complete the work is 4.5 days

Given:

A can do a piece of work = 15 days

B can do a piece of work = 18 days

C can do a piece of work = 24 days

Calculations:

Let the total work done be in 'x' days

A's one day's work = 1/15

A worked for 5 days = 1/3

A can do 1/3 of work in 5 days

B's one day work = 1/18

B's (x - 6) days work = (x - 6)/18

C's one day work = 1/24

C's 'x' days work = x/24

(A + B + C) together work = 1

⇒ 1/3 + (x - 6)/18 + x/24 = 1

⇒ (24 + 4x - 24 + 3x)/72 = 1

⇒ 7x = 72

⇒ x = 72/7

⇒ x = \(10\frac{2}{7}\)

∴ The number of days together is \(10\frac{2}{7}\)  days

Given:

P = 12 Days

Q = 24 days

Formula used:

1/T = (1/T1) + (1/T2)

Here, T1 = work done in days by 1, T2 = work done in days by 2

Calculation:

P completes work in 12 days and Q in 24 days

⇒ 1/T = (1/12) + (1/24)

⇒ 1/T = (2 + 1)/24

⇒ Together they complete work in 8 days

Work done for 6 days

⇒ Left work = 1 - (6/8)

⇒ Left work = 1/4

⇒ Q completes work in 24 days hence; left work would be completed in (1/4 × 24)

⇒ Left work would be completed in 6 days

Now, Total work done is LCM of 12 and 24 = 24 units

⇒ Efficiency of P = 2 units/day

⇒ Efficiency of Q = 1 unit/day

⇒ P’s work in units = 6 × 2

⇒ Q’s work in units = 12 × 1

⇒ Total work done = 12 + 12

⇒ Total work done = 24 units

⇒ 24 units = Rs 3000

Hence, 12 units = 3000/2

∴ Wage of Q is Rs 1500 

Given

A group of men decided to do work in 20 days

Due to the absence of 5 men, the rest complete the work in 24 days

Formula used

M₁D₁H₁ = M2D2H2

M₁ = number of men initially and M₂ = final number of men

D₁ = Number of days initially and D₂ = Finally number of days

Calculation

Let, initially, the number of men be x

According to the question

⇒ x × 20 = (x - 5) × 24

⇒ 20x = 24x - 120

⇒ 4x = 120

⇒ x = 30

∴ The number of men originally is 30

(I + A)³ − 7A = I + A + 3A + 3A − 7A = I

Option : (c)

\(f'(x)=\frac{-2x^2-10x+100}{\sqrt{100-x^2}}\)

\(f'(x)=0\Rightarrow x=-10\,or\,5,\)

If \(x=-10\) then area = \(f(x)=0\) which is not maximum

Therefore, \( x=5\)

Now, \(f''(x)=\frac{2x^3-300x-1000}{(100-x^2)^{\frac{3}{2}}}\) 

 \(\Rightarrow f''(5)=\frac{-30}{\sqrt{75}}<0\)

\(\Rightarrow\) Maximum area of trapezium is \(75\sqrt3cm^2\) when x = 5

Let the point (x,y) divides AB in the ratio k:1.

By section formula,

x = (2k+1)/(k+1)  ,  y = (7k+3)/(k+1)

Now, this point also lies on the given line so it would satisfy the equation 3x+y-9=0

Therefore,

3(2k+1) + (7k+3) -9(k+1) = 0

k = 3/4

Hence, the required ratio is 3:4.

The vector AB = i+j+2k

The vector AC = - i+j+3k

The area of triangle 

∆=(1/2)|AB×AC|= (1/2)|(i+j+2k)×(-i+j+3k)|

=(1/2)|-i×i-j×i-2k×i +i×j+j×j+2k×j+3i×k+3j×k+6k×k|

Consider the an electric dipole of charges +q and −q separated by distance 2a with center at O.

Goal : To find electric field at point P on the axial line of the dipole, OP = r.

Let E₁ and E₂ be electric field on P due to charges +q and −q respectively.

E₁ = \(\frac{kq}{(r-a)^2}\) along BP

E₂ = \(\frac{kq}{(r+a)^2}\) along BP

The resultant electric field at P, E = E₁ - E₂ (as both E₁ and E₂ are in opposite direction)

E = \(\frac{kq}{(r-a)^2}\) - \(\frac{kq}{(r+a)^2}\)

= kq \(\frac{4ra}{(r^2-a^2)^2}\)

Define,  p = 2aq

E = k \(\frac{2pr}{(r^2-a^2)^2}\)

If r >> a, then E = k \(\frac{2pr}{r^4}\) = k \(\frac{2p}{r^3}\)

In vector form, \(\vec E\) = k \(\frac{2\vec p}{r^3}.\)

Bank Reconciliation Statement is prepared by Businessman/Debtor/Account holder.

Bank Reconciliation Statement of Mr. Syam as on 31/03/09

Credit balance in the passbook means a/an Asset to the depositor.

A statement prepared to reconcile the bank balance as per cash book with the balance as per passbook or bank statement, by showing the items of difference between the two accounts. By the preparation of bank reconciliation statement, one of the balances (either the cash book balance or passbook balance) may be equalized with the other

It is generally experienced that when a comparison is made between the bank balance as shown in the firms cash book, the two balances do not tally, to reconcile (tally) the two balances of cash book and passbook, bank reconciliation statement is prepared.

Adjusted Cashbook (Bank column)

1. Automated Teller Machine (ATM) 

2. Cash Deposit Machine (CDM) 

3. Point of Sale (POS) 

4. National Electronic Funds Transfer (NEFT) 

5. Real Time Gross Settlement (RTGS) 

6. Ledger folio (L.F.)

Favourable balance as per the cash book means Debit balance in the bank column of the cash book.

There are several reasons that contribute for the disagreement of the balance as shown by cash book and passbook. 

They are as under:

1. Cheques issued but not presented for payment:

When the trader issues a cheque, he credits its amount immediately in his cash book. The same will be entered in the passbook only on presenting the cheque and making payment by the bank. If the cheque is not presented for payment before the date of preparation of bank reconciliation statement, the balance as per Pass Book will be more than the balance as per Cash Book.

2. Cheque paid in for collection but not collected:

On deposition cheques into the bank for collection, the trader debits the same amount in the bank account. The bank credit the amount in the passbook only on getting the amount collected. Such uncleared cheques make the cash book balance to be more than the passbook balance.

3. Direct payment by a customer to the bank:

Customers of the trader occasionally make some payments directly into the trader’s bank account. The trader may come to know of an only later. But the banker gives immediate credit to the trader on receipt of the amount. If it remains unrecorded in the cash book, the balance as per pass book will be more than the balance as per cash book.

4. Interest on deposit credited by the banker:

At regular intervals, banks allow interests on the deposit balance of the trader and credit the amount in the passbook. The same usually remains unrecorded in the cash book. In such a case, the passbook balance will be more than the cash book balance.

5. Interest, dividend, rent, etc. collected by bank:

Bank collects interest, dividend, rent, etc. on behalf of the customer and credits the same to his account. The trader comes to know of it only on a later date. If such collection remains unrecorded in the cash book, the passbook balance will be more than the cash book balance.

6. Payment made on behalf of the customer:

The banker makes payment for rent, insurance, etc., for the customer as per standing instructions. The banker debit the trader’s account with such payments. The trader comes to know of it only later. Due to such payments that remain unrecorded in cash book, the balance as per pass book will be less than the balance as per cash book.

7. Bank charges as per Pass Book:

Bank charges and commission for collection of cheques, bills, etc., are debited in the passbook. The corresponding credits are often not given in the cash book. As these items are not entered in the cash book, its balance will be more than that of the passbook.

8. Bills Receivable discounted, but dishonored: 

When a trader discounts bills of exchange, the banker credits the trader’s account with the amount due. The same amount is debited by the trader in cash book. If such a bill is later dishonored, the banker immediately debits it in the passbook. But the same remains unrecorded in the cash book. This cause the balance as per cash book to be more than the passbook balance.

9. Interest on overdraft debited in passbook:

Periodically the bank calculates interest due by the trader on his overdraft and debits the amount in the passbook. Corresponding credit is often not made by the trader in his cash book. It leads to difference in the balance as per cash book and passbook.

10. Credit instruments credited by bank but not recorded in cash book:

Bills of exchange, promissory notes and other credit instruments collected by bank are credited in the passbook. But if they remain unrecorded in the cash book it may lead to disagreement between the balance as per the two books.

11. There may also be instance of cheque recorded as paid in for collection but failed to be deposited into the bank, by which the cash book balance will be more than the balance as per passbook.
