The International Date Line, established in 1884, passes through the mid-Pacific Ocean and roughly follows a 180 degrees longitude north-south line on the Earth. It is located halfway round the world from the prime meridian—the zero degrees longitude established in Greenwich, England, in 1852.

The International Date Line functions as a “line of demarcation” separating two consecutive calendar dates. When you cross the date line, you become a time traveler of sorts! Cross to the west and it’s one day later; cross back and you’ve “gone back in time."

xeze [42]

The correct answer is - C. The river carried enormous amounts of silt.

The Yellow River, got this nickname because it is yellowish from the enormous amounts of silt it carries. When there were heavy rains, or the snow was melting, the river got more water, but also more silt, so the silt was partially blocking the free movement of all of the water, so it was flooding the surrounding are. In one way, the floods were terrible because they were destroying pretty much everything on their way, but on the other side, were living huge amounts of deposits that were fertilizing the soil for the agriculture.

Tanya [424]

Answer:

i. 3/5

ii. 2/5

Explanation:

Solving the problem by any of the students A, B and C is an independent event as solution by one does not restrict the other one from solving

However, the problem will be solved if even one of them solves the question

Now Probability of not solving the question by A, B and C are

PA (not solving a problem) - 1-1/3 = 2/3

PB (not solving a problem) - 1-1/4 = 3/4

PC (not solving a problem) - 1-1/5 = 4/5

ii) Probability of not solving - 2/3*3/4*4/5 = 2 *1/5 = 2/5

i) Probability of solving - 1- Probability of not solving

= 1 - 2/5 = 3/5
