Question
Prices of scooter and TV are in the ratio 7:5. If the scooter costs Rs 8000 more than the TV. What is the price of TV ??
Answer
It is given that prices of scooter and TV are in the ratio 7:5
==>> scooter = 7
------------ -------
TV 5
Let the price of both scooter and TV be 7x and 5x
It is given that scooter costs Rs 8000 more than TV.
==>> 7x = 5x + 8000
==>> 7x - 5x = 8000
==>> 2x = 8000
==>> x = 4000
Price of TV = 5x = 5 * 4000 = 20000
Price of scooter = 7x = 7 * 4000 = 28000

Question
What does black in the name of ' black mamba ', one of world's most venomous snake means ??
1. It's body colour
2. Colour of its eyes
3. Colour inside its mouth
4. Colour of the place where it belongs
Answer
I never heard of this snake nor I saw its photo !!!
Usually snakes are identified by colour of their skin.
Like we have green snake in gardens.
Who have guts to look into its eyes or mouth ??!!
Usually I heard about name of the place not about colour of the place !!!
So I decided it must be its body colour ......
Contestant opted for audience poll helpline.
Audience voted for colour of its mouth !!!
I wondered and searched Internet.
The snake got its name because of dark colour of inside of its mouth !!!
When threatened, black mamba opens its mouth wide, revealing the inky black interior .....
This serves as warning signal to predators !!!
