Why should switch be connected only on the live wire and never on the neutral wire?

Last answer: Current runs from the transformer, through the protective device, through the load and back through the protective device (if on RCD). If the protective device is only a CB the current passes ... the circuit will operate correctly but this is an unsafe practice and does not meet the standards.

R invested Rs. 4000 for nine months, his profit was 3/2 times that of Q's and his investment was four times that of P. 2. P and Q invested for one year in the proportion 1 : 2 respectively. 3. The three together got Rs. 500 as profit at the year end. A) Only 1 and 3 B) Only 1 and 2 C) All 1, 2 and 3 D) None of above

Last answer: Answer: C) 1 and 2 will give : R = Rs. (4000 x 9) for 1 year = Rs. 36000 for 1 year. P = Rs. (1/4 * 4000 * 12 ) for 1 year = Rs 12000 for 1 year Q = Rs 24000 for one year R:P:Q = ... Profit = 500 Now from the ratio and total profit we can get Share of R. R share will be = 500 * 2/6 = 166.66
