Question Discussion & Solution

Rohit started walking towards the west.

He walked for 300 m and turned to his right from the post office.

From there, he walked for 200 m.

He then turned to the left and walked a few steps.

Rohit is now standing in front of West direction.

Hence, "West" is the correct answer.

The correct option is Most of the bees in the hive are worker bees.

• Every honey bee colony comprises a single queen, a few hundred drones and several thousand worker castes of honey bees.
• A queen bee is the only female bee in the hive that gets to reproduce.
• Worker bees are all female and are all offspring of the queen. 
• Queen is a fertile, functional female, the worker is a sterile female and the drone is a male insect.
• Queen and worker develop from the fertilized egg while drone develops from an unfertilized egg.
• Further differentiation of queen and worker depends on the quality and quantity of food that is fed to the queen or worker larvae.

Explanation:

​Every beehive has one male bee and many female bees → Inorrect.

Most of the bees in the hive are worker bees → Correct

The study of honey bee is sericulture → Inorrect.

Beehives are octagonal in shapes→ Incorrect. (Hexagonal)

​Additional Information

The queen:

• ​There is only one queen in a colony and considerably larger than the members of other castes.
• Swarming is the natural method that honeybee colonies use for multiplying their colonies.
• The old queen is killed as soon as the new queen is fertilized.
• The phenomenon of raising a queen in the off-season is called supersedure.
• The normal lifespan of a queen is 3 years.

​The drone:

• ​The drones are male bees with no sting.
• They are much larger and stouter than either the queen or the workers.
• Their only function is to impregnate the young queen a task which they are unable to perform until they are about 10 days of age.
• They also help in the maintenance of hive temperature. 
• The drones are produced by unfertilized eggs of the queen, or by those workers which take up the reproductive function due to the absence of a queen in a colony.
• The normal lifespan of a drone is 57 days. 

​The worker:

• ​Smallest inhabitants of the beehive.
• They are imperfect females incapable of laying eggs.
• Worker bees primary duties are cleaning, feeding developing larva once hypopharyngeal glands develop, ripening of honey, secreting/moulding of wax into combs.
• The lifespan of a worker is about 4 weeks during the active season and 8 to 10 weeks during the less active season.
• On certain occasions when the colony is in need of a queen, some of the workers start laying eggs from which only drones are produced.
• These workers called laying workers.

Linen, Polyester and Rayon are types of clothing fibers or fabric, while Terracotta is a clay-like earthenware ceramic.

Concept: To find out the cube of the next number.

Solution:

From the given figure, it can be seen-
1³ = 1

2³ = 8

3³ = 27

4³ = 64

5³ = 125

6³ = 216

So, the number is 216.
