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      !!!!! 

Animals with powerful healing abilities

 Some animals can regrow their organs if they are lost.


Best example is in our house only ....... 


It is    Lizard   !!!!!


Most of us have seen a lizard with no tail. 


After some time, tail grows back to its original condition. 


A lizard shed its tail in order to scare the predators. 


The fallen tail would be jumping for some time  !!!!!


Another animal I have seen is a cobra !!!


Cobra usually shed it's skin but this is not for its defence.


Such other animals are  - - -


Starfish  - - -  They can regenerate lost arms.


Sea cucumbers  - - -  They can regenerate internal organs.


Flatworms   - - -  They can regenerate themselves from just a fragment of their body.



Deer  - - -   Antlers of deer are shed annually and then regrown.

Different types of armed forces salute

 Saluting is a time honoured tradition within military culture.


In India, the armed forces comprising of army, navy and air force, each have their own unique style of salute.




Indian Army salute 

                      Indian  Army's salute characterized by an open palm facing forward.

                       The fingers and thumb are held together with the middle fingure nearly touching the brow.

                         This gesture is executed standing upright, facing the individual being saluted.






Indian Navy salute 

                              The Indian Navy salute involves an open palm facing downwards at 90 degree angle to the forehead.






Indian Air force salute 

                             The Indian Air force salute consists of an open palm  raised at 45 degree angle to the ground.

                               This position is midpoint between Army and Navy salutes.

Why do female astronauts don't tie their hair in space ??

 Before answering the above question, let me tell 


Why females tie their hair ?? Why don't they keep it open all the time ??


As I have a long hair , I am the best person to tell the reason !!


Managing long hair or shorter one, is a very difficult task.


If untied and if not properly oiled, hair strands just cover the face sometimes closing the eyes too !!!


If hair is not tied, hair will undergo friction and there are chances that it will get cut.


Main problem is the formation of knots in the hair.


If not combed properly, these knots become harder to open.


I always feel sweating if I keep open hair. I always prefer them to tie atlease before going to bed.


Now this is the story we experience on Earth.


In space, hair doesn't fall naturally as it does on Earth because of lack of gravity.


1.  With no gravity pulling hair downwards, there is no practical reason to tie it back  !!!


2.  Since hair doesn't get in their face, astronauts don't feel any discomfort.


Since astronauts don't have access to regular showers , they use no rinse shampoo.


In international space station, evaporated water from their hair is condensed and turned into drinking water  !!!!
