Answer:
80% of Apple shares and 20% of Microsoft shares must be acquired.
Explanation:
To determine in what proportion each stock can be purchased, it must be determined how much profit will be obtained according to the percentage in which each stock is subscribed. Thus, acquiring 60% of Apple stocks and 40% of Microsoft, the benefit will be as follows:
((60 x 30) + (40 x 80)) / 100 = X
(1800 + 3200) / 100 = X
5000/100 = X
50 = X
Therefore, the ratio must be greater than 60/40. So, testing an 80/20, the benefit will be as follows:
((80 x 30) + (20 x 80)) / 100 = X
(2400 + 1600) / 100 = X
4000/100 = X
40 = X
Therefore, 80% of Apple shares and 20% of Microsoft shares must be acquired.
Answer:
C. The weather is nice today rainy, wet and cold tomorrow.
Explanation:
Run-on sentences are those types of sentences where two or more independent clauses or sentences are joined in one sentence improperly. So, instead of keeping them in separate sentences, they are joined in one sentence but without the use of an appropriate conjunction.
In the given sentences, the one with a run-on sentence is option C. This is because sentence C contains two independent clauses <u>"the weather is nice today"</u> and <u>"rainy, wet and cold tomorrow"</u>. And when they are joined together, no appropriate or proper conjunction is used to make them into one sentence.
Sentence A is wrong as it contains just one independent clause.
Sentence B is wrong as it correctly uses "and" to join the two independent clauses.
Sentence D is wrong as it is just a single independent clause.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.
