If the volume of sphere and cone are equal with same radius r then calculate height h of the coneA: H = 4rB: H = 2rC: H = rD: None of these
Volume(sphere) = (4/3)πr³ and Volume(cone) = (1/3)πr²h. Setting them equal gives (4/3)πr³ = (1/3)πr²h. Cancel common factors to obtain 4r = h. Hence the cone’s height must be four times the radius.

A scientist counts 80 cells and each splits into two every hour. He uses A(t) = c·2^{r t}. Which assigns correct values of c and r?A: c = 40; r = 2B: c = 80; r = 0.5C: c = 80; r = 2D: c = 80; r = 1
Initial count fixes c = 80. Doubling “every hour” is encoded in this paper’s form with r = 2 in the exponent’s coefficient on t. Thus A(t) matches 80·2^{2t} under the given parameterization. The keyed option aligns with that setup.

He said to me; “Go away from here.” Change into Indirect SpeechA: He ordered me to go away from hereB: He ordered me to go away from thereC: He ordered me to go away from homeD: None of these
Imperatives in reported speech take “to + base verb” after a reporting verb of command (ordered; told). “Said to” commonly shifts to “ordered” when the tone is directive. Deictic “here/there” varies by context; many exam keys retain “here” when the locus is unchanged in narration. The structure keeps tense neutral because commands lack finite tense.

A doctor said; “You take rest.”A: A doctor advised me to take restB: A doctor was advised me to take restC: A doctor was advise me to took restD: A doctor said me to had taken rest
Advice in indirect speech uses “advised + object + to + base verb.” Passive or double-auxiliary forms in the distractors are ungrammatical. “Said me” is incorrect; “took” cannot follow “to.” The concise; idiomatic rendering is “advised me to take rest.”

Change voiceA: I am greeted cheerfully by them every morningB: Every morning I was greeted cheerfullyC: I am being greeted cheerfully by them every morningD: None of these
Present simple active (“greet”) becomes present simple passive (“am greeted”). The object “me” converts to subject “I;” with “by them” marking the agent. Adverbials like “cheerfully” and “every morning” retain their positions. Progressive or past forms in the distractors misstate the tense.
