<span>A pearl is not a mineral because it is created artificially. It is a gemstone, not a mineral because it is a composite of mineral Aragonite and a protein compound which is called conchiolin. Pearls are formed by organic and living organisms which is preserved to become a gemstone.</span>

No. Pearl is an organic substance

Pearl is an organic gemstone. It is a reaction to an irritant within a living pearl-producing mollusk. Mollusks have a soft body often protected by a shell such as calm, mussel, and oyster. Pearls are actually formed when the mollusk produce thousands of nacre. Pearls are commonly used in the jewellery industry.

A profit of ₹ 1581 is to be divided amongst three partner P,Q and R in ratio 1/3:1/2:1/5.theshareof R will be?​
Burka [1]

Answer:

R's share = 306

Explanation:

Sum of ratio = 1/3 + 1/2 + 1/5

LCM = 30

Sum of ratio = (10 + 15 + 6) / 30 = 31 /30

Profit to be shared = 1581

P = 1/3 ; Q = 1/2 ; R = 1/5

Share of R :

(Total profit / sum of ratio) * R ratio

[1581 / (31/30)] * 1/5

(1581 / 1 * 30/31) * 1/5

51 * 30 * 1/5

51 * 6 = 306

Tornado Alley is located in the middle of the United States, extending from Texas up through the Dakotas. The above statement is
Papessa [141]

Answer:

The above given statement is a fact.

Explanation:

A fact is nothing but a real statement which can never be false or imaginary or told in a future perspective. Let us analyze other options

Option 2: Opinion => An opinion can be anything and it can differ. A opinion is the way one people understand or perceive and give a statement according to that. An opinion always differs.

Option 3: Graphic => This is computer generated file, which can be true or false or imaginary. So this option is invalid

Option 4: Text => A text is nothing but words written together to convey a meaning. Though we feel like it suits the question, since the question speaks about the place, then it must definitely be fact and not just text.

Art [367]

Answer:

Super key is a set of attributes that uniquely identifies all attributes in a relation.Super keys are more than candidate key.

Explanation:

For example in the given schema where

Customer: (id , name , street , city,state,zip,phone)

We have a relation we check super keys by following dependencies

Functional Dependencies                          Super Key

id                                                                     YES

name                                                               YES

id , name -> street , city,state,zip,phone       YES

id , street  ->name , city,state,zip,phone       YES

id,city ->name , street ,state,zip,phone         YES

id,state ->name , street ,city,zip,phone         YES

id,phone  ->name , street ,state,zip,city        YES

id , name , street                                             YES

id , name , street , city                                    YES

id , name , street , city,state                          YES

id , name , street , city,state,zip,phone         YES

All these are uniquely identified

All these are super key but in reverse they are not super key such as

street , city,state,zip,phone->id , name        No
