A marketing strategy but mainly flavours are root based minimum; combinations with the percentages alone, is pushed into the market as if flavours changed; and the writer tasted all and writing it or simply copied the advt? Rubber bands cannot last long sir; but breakup from elasticity and relief from the hardness is stretched; but when pulled beyond will break; even cooker rubber gasket is like that only. Who said that enough gold? Pl check the write up clearly sir Q2 What is the maximum altitude any fighter jet can reach, and why can't it go further up? KR The flying height is not beyond 42000 feet; the reason for not flying air is thin ok; but the flight path and plane is balanced only by air, which may not be even and by which the shape of the plane might get altered; and the main reason is , fuel must periodically flow into the combustion for energy; this is done only the prevalence of good air circulation outside; and in the absence of good air, the combustion may not be continues, so will behave as if there is no fuel as happens to the car. Q3 What are some hacks that everyone should know? Mr G : About 90% of heart attacks occur early in the morning and it can be reduced if one takes a glass or two of water before going to bed at night.

KR Except the relationships between the nations are nothing bigger exceptional as history teaches us. There were Kings with only one wife also. There were kings who abdicated the throne in India nada abroad. Character and lust is common to all. Many Individuals married more than one as sastra permitted it. Polygamy and polyandry are not extinct even today. Why KK had 3 known and……… Q5 How did the Roman Catholic Church develop into one of the largest landholders in medieval Europe? What happened to the land they acquired? KR: Roman church is in British history and the Church controlling the King was once through land and other powers did exist.

Mr G: There is a species of jellyfish that never dies unless they are killed. KR: No sir; that is how the science sees it as a continuous process of Medusa living beneath the boats and the bushes as a polypus ; they die even without being killed; but the larva in death give vent to another growth as if continuously living; don’t we have plants growing continuously. There is nothing immortal at all on earth then Vedam will become a liar. And a person in iyer shall research and then answer. Mr G You have never technically watched a full movie because you are constantly blinking. KR: So you never read any question paper and answer because you are “BLINKING”?. Nonsensical answer. Sound cannot travel in space because there is no atmosphere for it to travel through. As a result, space is completely silent. KR: I had already written about it as a repeated lie consistently. Nothing like that. Then how de we get the sun light as shadows and light of space? Q7 Apart from humans, are there other animals that can be considered vengeful? KR: REVENGEFUL? OR HUNTING? DEFENCE MECHANISM IS INBORN TO LIFE; EVEN A PLANT BREAKS THE EARTH TO COME OUT; DOES IT MEAN REVENGE? REVENGE IS EMOTION AND ANIMALS HAVE THATAS IT CAN DISCERN?
