06. (C) Let Nisha age be 5 years 12. (A) Travelled time = 45 min
 Manisha age be 7 years Started time = ?
Vidya age = 5 + 6 = 11 years Reached time = 12:05
Difference of ages of Vidya & Manisha 12:05 – 45 min = 11:65 – 45
= 11 years – 7 years = 4 years
= 11:20 a.m.
07. (D) 1×9=9
13. (C) Mass of cashew nuts = 8 kg 360 g
2 × 9 = 18
Number of bags = 4
3 × 9 = 27
Mass of nuts in each bag = 8360 g  4
9 + 18 + 27 = 54
= 2090 g
08. (C) 32 × 19 = 608 (total number of pencils)
= 2 kg 90 g
608  4 = 152 groups

25. (D) 40 min × 2 = 80 min minimal. Only at much higher
40 min + 80 min = 120 min temperatures is the energy of the
radiation (light) sufficient to make it
visible. When the wick of the candle
burns, it produces the visible light energy
and heat (the transfer of thermal energy
from one substance to another).
