Last Answer : (1) 6000 °C Explanation: The surface of the sun is called the photosphere. The photosphere is 340 miles thick and it's temperature s range from 5,500°C to 6,000°C. It has dark spots called sunspots which are the only solar activity observable by the naked eye.
Description : The average expenditure of A, Band C is Rs 10000 per month. Also, the average expenditure of B, C and D is Rs 14000 per month. If the average expenditure of D is thrice of that of A then the average expenditure of B and C is: A) 12000 B) 15000 C) 18000 D) 21000
Last Answer : A) Total expenditure of A, B & C=3×10000=30000 Total expenditure of B, C & D =3×14000=42000 D-A=42000-30000=12000 Also, we are given D=3A. so 3A-A =12000 & A=6000 Total expenditure of B & C=30000-6000=24000 Average expenditure of B& C=24000/2 =12000
