Question
An agent gets a commission of 2.5% on sales of cloth. If on a certain day, he gets Rs 12.5 as the commission, what is the worth of the cloth sold on that day ??
Answer
Given ----
Commission rate = 2.5%
Commission amount = Rs 12.50
Total worth of the cloth sold = x = ??
We know,
Commission amount = commission rate * total sales
==>> 12.50 = 2.5% * x
==>> 12.5 = 2.5 /100 * x
==>> 12.5 * 100 = 2.5 x
==>> 1250 = 2.5 x
==>> x = 12500/25
==>> x = 500
Total worth of cloth sold = 500 Rs
Big cats roar .....
Small cats purr !!!!
They can't do both ........ !!!
WHY ??
Its about their throat .....
Big cats like lions and tigers have a stretchy throat.
Stretchy throat lets them make a BIG loud ROAR !!!
But it can't vibrate fast..... So they can't PURR ......
Small cats like house cats have a stiff throat.
This lets vibrate faster making sound PURR ......
It can't make a big ROAR !!!
Cheetahs are exception...
Though they are one among big cats, they can purr not roar
Because their throat is just like a small cat ....!!!!

Question
Which is the most populous country in southern hemisphere ??
1. Malaysia
2. Canada
3. Nigeria
4. New Zealand
Answer
In the question they were asking about most populous country in southern hemisphere.
But in the options given, 3 countries Malaysia, Canada and Nigeria are from northern hemisphere !!!
Only New Zealand lies in southern hemisphere......
But I doubt about New Zealand as the populous country.
I decided to cross check !!!!
I asked with Artificial Intelligence.
It directly rejected the name of New Zealand !!!
It said New Zealand is very small.
Population is nearly 5.2 million only.
Most populous countries in southern hemisphere are -----
Brazil with 215 million population.
Indonesia with 280 million population.
New Zealand is not even in top 10 !!!!
I know millipedes curl themselves when they are threatened.
Armadillos and pangolins also go round only to protect themselves. Then they will unroll to move !!!
On land, animals need strong legs and long bodies to survive.
There are 3 reasons why round animals are rare on land -----
1. Round means rolling. But we can not control where we roll !!!
Land animals require to run, climb, walk and dig.
That's why land animals evolved legs instead of round bodies !!!
2. Round shape has smallest surface area.
It is best to keep heat inside.
But land animals need to dump heat as they run.
That's why land animals evolved legs instead of round bodies !!!
3. Round animals don't have limbs.
They can not reach or grab.
Land animals need to move faster to escape from predators.
That's why land animals evolved legs instead of round bodies !!!
