Answers:

1. 3; 

2. 3; 

3. 4; 

4. 2; 

5. 4;

6. 1;

7. 2; Distance travelled by Varun shown in fig. i.e.

DC = EB = 2m.

EA = EB + BA = 10 + 2 = 12m

Triangle(DEA) is right angled at E.

DA^2 = DE^2 + EA^2

DA = sqroot(DE^2 + EA^2)

DA = 13m

8. 2

Sex of Kumud is unknown So, Pramod at least have two daughters.

9. 5

Option (3) is re-statement and only option (4) can be

concluded as ‘<‘ supersedes ‘≤‘. Hence, Q < B.
