Question 

 

Mirza Hakim who ruled in Kabul, was the half brother of which Mughal emperor?


1.   Babur 


2..  Aurangzeb 


3.  Akbar


4.  Shah jehan



Answer 


As I remember my high school days,  I know first Mughal King Babur had come from Kabul.


If I am not wrong, his grave is also in Kabul.


Babur is from Kabul, so his step brother also must be from Kabul !!!


This was my way of thinking.....


As usual I was  wrong ........!!!!!


Babur is from Kabul.  But his son Humayun had a child named Mirza Hakim in Kabul.


He ruled Kabul.


Mirza Hakim is the son of Humayun.


That means         He is the half brother of Akbar    !!!!!


Correct answer is          AKBAR.

Why aren't we get crushed by the weight of Earth's atmosphere ?

 The mass of a cylindrical column of air is 754 kg.


This much atmospheric pressure acts on our body   !!!!!


Why aren't we get crushed by this much weight exerted on us  ????


We are not crushed by air pressure because our body has evolved over time to withstand the pressure.


The air inside our body is at essentially at the same pressure pushing outward.


This makes the pressure forces, balanced.


This internal pressure from our body is the main reason why we can not travel in space without a space suit.


The pressure in space is essentially zero.


Without the air pressure pushing down the body, the internal pressure inside the body would make the body to inflate like a balloon.


This will go on until the pressure is released.

Bheja fry question

 This bheja fry question I came across when searching Internet.


212    =   25

213     =  36

214      =  47

215   =  ?? 


Answer 


When I saw this question, I was happy that finally I have solved a problem. 


But I kept scratching my head because in the second column, it has to be  49  instead of 47  !!!!


All must have understood what was my logic  !!!


There must be something else for solution. 


First row is  212  =  2 + 1 + 2 =  5

  Taking  2 which is the last digit of 212, we got 2 and 5.

Which is            25


Second row is 213  =  2  +  1  +  3  =  6

Taking 3 which is the last digit of 213, we got 3 and 6

Which is             36.



Third row is 214  =  2  +  1 +  4 =  7

Taking  7  which is the last digit of 214, we got  4 and 7.

Which is               47



Fourth row is   215  =  2  +  1  + 5 =  8

Taking  8  which is the last digit of 215,  we got  5 and 8. 

Which is                  58      !!!!!
