If a triangle represents Men, a rectangle represents Businessman and the circle represents Millionaire, then which number represents Men that are both Businessman and Millionaire?

Detailed Explanation:
Venn Diagram Intersection: The region where all three shapes (triangle, rectangle, circle) overlap represents men who are both businessmen and millionaires.
Answer: From the diagram, 10 is the only number present in the common area of all three shapes.
How many triangles are there in the following figure?

Detailed Explanation:
Counting triangles systematically:
Smallest triangles: 6 individual regions formed by intersecting lines inside the main triangle.
Medium triangles (2 small combined): 3 triangles formed by merging two adjacent smallest triangles.
Larger triangles (3 small combined): 2 triangles formed by merging three smallest triangles.
Outermost triangle: 1 complete boundary triangle.
Total count: 6 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 12 triangles.
How many triangles are there in the following figure PQRS?

Detailed Explanation:
Step 1 – Identify base triangles from diagonals: The two diagonals PR and QS intersect at point O, creating 4 base triangles: △POQ, △QOR, △ROS, △SOP.
Step 2 – Count triangles formed by vertical line through O: The vertical line through O divides the rectangle, creating 4 additional triangles by combining adjacent base segments.
Step 3 – Count triangles formed by horizontal line through O: The horizontal line through O similarly creates 4 more triangles by combining base segments.
Total count: 4 (diagonal intersections) + 4 (vertical line combinations) + 4 (horizontal line combinations) = 12 triangles.

Motorcycle is related to battery in the same way as Life is related to:
Detailed Explanation:
A motorcycle requires a battery as its primary source of electrical energy to start and function.
Similarly, life on Earth depends on the Sun as its fundamental source of energy for photosynthesis, warmth, and sustaining all biological processes.
