__________ of the following statements is not correct. (the law of physics are the same in all inertial frames, the speed of light in free space has the same value in all inertial frames, two events which occur simultaneously in one reference frame also must appear to occur simultaneous in another reference frame, Einstein rejected Newton’s idea of absolute time)
Ans: "the speed of light in free space has the same value in all inertial frames." This is because a frame moving with constant velocity 2c will not have the same velocity of light.

A, B and C jointly thought of engaging themselves in a business venture. It was agreed that A would invest Rs. 6500 for 6 months, B, Rs. 8400 for 5 months and C, Rs. 10,000 for 3 months. A wants to be the working member for which, he was to receive 5% of the profits. The profit earned was Rs. 7400. Calculate the share of B in the profit. A. Rs. 1900 B. Rs. 2660 C. Rs. 2800 D. Rs. 2840
Option B. Rs 2660/- A received = 5% of Rs. 7400 = Rs. 370. Balance = Rs. (7400 - 370) = Rs. 7030. Ratio of their investments = (6500 x 6) : (8400 x 5) : (10000 x 3) = 13 : 14 : 10 B's share = Rs.7030 x14/37 = Rs. 2660.
