Bheja fry question

 This question I came across when I was watching the Internet.

Question 

7 men have 7 wives.  Each man and wife have 7 children. What's the total number of people ??

Answer 

Let's calculate 

7 men   +     7  wives     =     14   adults

Each of the 7 couple has 7 children. 

7 couple  *    7  children /couple   =    49  children

Total number of people  =  number of adults   +   number of children 

==>>    14   +    49   =    63   people

How do astronauts communicate with Earth from space ??

 We all have seen Indian astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla interacting with students from space.

Space has no network or mobile towers like Earth.  Then what made this conversation possible ??

Unlike Earth, space lacks air needed for sound waves to travel. This makes traditional voice communication impossible.

Sound is a mechanical wave that requires  a medium like air or water. Space is a vacuum.

Astronauts use RADIO WAVES, which is a type of electromagnetic radiation that does not require air to travel.

Microphones and transmitters on astronauts' helmet convert speech into radio signals.

These signals are then transmitted to Earth via the satellite relays and antennas.

These signals are then converted back to audio signal at ground station.

Hence, conversation was possible  !!!!

Why do bats are nocturnal animals ??

 Bats are the only living creatures who can fly but not considered as birds.

They directly give birth and breast feed too just like mammals but not considered one among land animals.

Once there was a huge fight between land animals and birds.

Bats didn't take any sides.

But when birds were about to become victorious, bats were taking side of birds as they can fly.

When land animals mainly mammals were about to become victorious, bats were taking side of animals as bats are also mammals.

This dual mentality of bats had gone unnoticed for some time.

But soon both animals and birds came to know of the dirty game being played by bats.

As a result, both animals and bats banned bats from their respective groups.

Unable to show their faces as bats have cheated both animals and birds,

Bats preferred to come out  at night when other birds and animals return to their homes.

Foods that should not be refrigerated

 1.  Tomatoes 

                        Storing tomatoes in refrigerator cause them to lose their flavour and texture.

                         Store tomatoes at room temperature away from direct sunlight.

 2. Bananas

                     Storing bananas in refrigerator causes them to turn black or brown.

                      Bananas must be stored at room temperature.

3.  Potatoes 

                      Keeping the potatoes in refrigerator makes them sweet and unappetizing.

                         Store them in cool and dark place.

4.  Onions and garlics

                        Keeping them in refrigerator makes them soggy and develop off flavours. 

                         They should be stored in well ventilated area away from sunlight.
