The author's belief that puppies are friendly and playful is inferred from the given options. The other options are not supported by the statement. The author does not mention anything about puppies being less cute than adult dogs or less playful than adult dogs. The term "hardworking" is not mentioned at all. Therefore, the correct answer is that the author thinks puppies are friendly and playful.

Since A and B invested for the entire year, their total investment for the year is Rs. 36,000 + Rs. 42,000 = Rs. 78,000.
Let's assume C's investment is x.
Since C joined after 6 months, his investment is only for half the year.
So, C's share of the profit is (x/78,000) * Rs. 39,200 = Rs. 7350.
Simplifying this equation, we get x = Rs. 36,000.
Therefore, the investment of C is Rs. 36,000.

The first car starts at 8 am and travels at a speed of 46 kmph. The second car starts at 10 am and travels at a speed of 38 kmph. This means that the first car has a 2-hour head start. In those 2 hours, the first car would have traveled 92 km (46 kmph * 2 hours). The remaining distance between the two cars is 722 km - 92 km = 630 km. When both cars are moving towards each other, their combined speed is 46 kmph + 38 kmph = 84 kmph. To cover the remaining distance of 630 km at a speed of 84 kmph, it would take them 630 km / 84 kmph = 7.5 hours. Adding the 2-hour head start, the total time it would take for them to meet is 7.5 hours + 2 hours = 9.5 hours. If the first car starts at 8 am, they would meet at 8 am + 9.5 hours = 5.30 pm. Therefore, the correct answer is 5.30 pm.

In the given series, all the terms are obtained by multiplying the previous term by a certain number. Starting with 40, the first term, the second term is obtained by dividing 40 by 2, the third term is obtained by multiplying 20 by 1.2, the fourth term is obtained by multiplying 24 by 1.25, the fifth term is obtained by multiplying 30 by 2, and the sixth term is obtained by multiplying 60 by 2.5. Therefore, the correct term in the series should be obtained by multiplying the previous term by 1.25. However, the term 24 is not obtained by this rule, so it is the wrong term in the series.

Let's assume that there are x girls in the class. Since the average weight of girls is 41 kg, the total weight of all the girls would be 41x kg.

Similarly, let's assume that there are y boys in the class. Since the average weight of boys is 56 kg, the total weight of all the boys would be 56y kg.

The average weight of the entire class is given as 47.25 kg. So, the total weight of the entire class would be 47.25 times the total number of students in the class.

We can set up the equation:
(41x + 56y) / (x + y) = 47.25

Simplifying this equation, we get:
41x + 56y = 47.25(x + y)
41x + 56y = 47.25x + 47.25y
8.25y = 6.25x
y/x = 5/8

Therefore, the number of girls constitutes 5/8 or 62 3/3% of the total number of students in the class.

In the given passage, the word "behave" refers to how someone conducts themselves or carries out their actions. The best synonym for this meaning would be "act", as it implies taking action or behaving in a certain way.

The phrase "as well as" is the correct answer because it is used to add additional information to a sentence. In this context, it suggests that new hires in the laboratory can expect both excellent research opportunities and valuable clinical experience. The phrase "as well as" is commonly used to connect two similar or related ideas, indicating that both are true or applicable in this case.

The given answer, 1, is the correct answer because it represents the number of solutions for the given equations. In both equations, the highest exponent is 2, indicating that they are quadratic equations. A quadratic equation can have either 0, 1, or 2 solutions. Since the given equations are in the form of ax^2 + bx + c = 0, where a, b, and c are constants, they can be solved using the quadratic formula. The quadratic formula states that if the discriminant (b^2 - 4ac) is positive, there are 2 real solutions. If the discriminant is zero, there is 1 real solution. And if the discriminant is negative, there are no real solutions. Therefore, the correct answer is 1, indicating that both equations have 1 real solution.

The given sequence is a series of numbers where each number is obtained by adding the previous number with a specific pattern. Starting with 29, the pattern is to add 4, then 8, then 9, then 27, then 21, then 59. The next number in the series should follow the same pattern. Therefore, the next number is 98.

After taking out 12 liters of the mixture, there are 48 liters of the mixture left in the jar. Since the original ratio of milk to water is 7:5, we can calculate that there are 28 liters of milk and 20 liters of water in the 48 liters of the mixture.

Then, 8 liters of pure milk is added to the jar, making the total amount of milk 28 + 8 = 36 liters. The amount of water remains the same at 20 liters.

Therefore, the respective ratio of milk to water in the mixture after the final operation is 36:20, which simplifies to 9:5.

Since the total area of the rectangular plot is given as 1064 sq. m. and the length and width of the plot are known, we can calculate the area of the roads by subtracting the area of the lawn from the total area. The area of the lawn is given as 1064 sq. m., so the area of the roads is (42 * 32) - 1064 = 1344 - 1064 = 280 sq. m. Since the two roads are of the same width, we divide the area of the roads by 2 to get the width of each road. Therefore, the width of each road is 280 / 2 = 140 sq. m. Since the width of the roads is given in meters, we convert the area from sq. m. to meters by taking the square root, which gives us the width of each road as 4m.

Fastidious means having very high standards and being difficult to please. Therefore, if someone is not easily pleased by anything, they can be described as fastidious.

The correct answer is "is a graphic depiction of what was beautiful in". This is because the sentence is referring to the past, as indicated by the use of "was" instead of "is". The sentence is describing the vivid photos as a depiction of something that was beautiful in the past.

The best example of a dog that is housebroken is Spot goes outside to use the bathroom. This indicates that Spot is trained to go outside when it needs to relieve itself, showing that it is well-behaved and understands where it should go to do its business. The other options given in the question do not demonstrate housebroken behavior.

The author begins paragraphs 2 and 4 with the phrase "On the other hand" to introduce contrasting information or viewpoints that contradict what was previously stated. This phrase is used to present an alternative perspective or argument that challenges or contradicts the information presented earlier in the text.

The correct answer is 5 because it is the only option that satisfies both equations. By factoring the equations, we can see that (x-17)(x+3) = 0 for the first equation, and (y-17)(y-18) = 0 for the second equation. Therefore, x = 17 and y = 17 or y = 18. Only option 5 satisfies both conditions, making it the correct answer.

The passage explains that while puppies are cute, friendly, and playful, there are reasons why getting an adult dog may be a better choice. It mentions that training a puppy requires a lot of work, such as housebreaking, teaching them not to chew or jump on things, and leash training. It also states that puppies have a lot of energy and may not let you relax or sleep through the night. Additionally, the passage highlights that many adult dogs in pounds are in need of good homes. Therefore, the correct answer is that the passage speaks of how puppies do not make good pets.
