Question 4-Explanation: 
\'will have landed\' is Future Perfect Tense. Future Perfect Tense is used in those sentences where we need to explain an event or activity that will be completed in future by certain time. Those sentences where time expressions like - by the time(as given in this question), by then, by any date or by any year are used , we use Future Perfect Tense to explain the event.

whenever we are given any imperative sentence, to change it to passive voice we use \'LET\' as - Let + Object + Be/Get + Past Participle. i.e. Let + the doctor + be + called at once . Imperative sentences are those sentences that shows command, request, advice or instruction. It typically begins with a verb. As in the given Question - \"Call the doctor at once\".

P and Q can do a work in 30 and 60 days respectively. They agreed to work together and finish the work for 1000 Rupees. But they worked only for 10 days. How much money should they together get ?

500
Cross

Question 6-Explanation: 
one day combined work of P and Q= 1/30+1/60 = 1/20.
Thus P and Q can finish the work together in 20 days.
But they have worked only for 10 days which means they have finished half of the job.

So they will be paid half of the money= 500 rs

Question 7-Explanation: 
in base 10 we know 6+2= 8 but in this question it is given 1 so we have to find the base of these numbers.
Now let the base be x so 6+2=8 -x= 1 thus base =7 (because in base 7, 8 will be represented as 1 carry and 1 addition ).
Now subtracting given numbers in base 7. \"Mock_7\"
Question 8
‘A’ sells a DVD to ‘B’ at a gain of 17% and ‘B’ then sells it to ‘C’ at a loss of 25%. If 'C' pays Rupees 1053 to ‘B’. then what is the cost price of the DVD to ‘A’ ?

Question 8-Explanation: 
Explanation- let CP of A= x
SP price of A = 117x/100.
SP of b = SP of A – 25%of SP of A = 117x/100-117x/400 = 351x/400
351x/400=1053
x = 1200
Question 9

Cross

Question 9-Explanation: 
here total cases will be 4!= 24.
Now cases in favour as per given question –
A    B    C    D (fix pen 2 in A)
2    1    4    3
2    4    1    3
2    3    4    1 - 3 cases
Just like that fixing pen 3 and 4 at A will produce 3 cases each.
Therefore total favourable cases will be 9.
Probability = 9/24 = 3/8
