None of the options except (B) satisfy above values.
Most experts feel that in spite of possessing all the technical skills required to be a batsman of the highest order, he is unlikely to be so due to lack of requisite temperament. He was guilty of throwing away his wicket several times after working hard to lay a strong foundation. His critics pointed out that until he addressed this problem success at the highest level will continue to elude him.
Which of the statement (s) below is/are logically valid and can be inferred from the above passage? (i) He was already a successful batsman at the highest level (ii) He has to improve his temperament in order to become a great batsman (iii) He failed to make many of his good starts count (iv) Improving his technical skills will guarantee success
(i) is incorrect “He was guilty of throwing away his wicket several times after working hard to lay a strong foundation. ”
(ii) is correct, “His critics pointed out that until he addressed this problem, success at the highest level will continue to elude him.”
(iii) is correct, “His critics pointed out that until he addressed this problem, success at the highest level will continue to elude him.”
(iv) is incorrect “Temperament is also required”.

Choose the most appropriate word from the options given below to complete the following sentence.
He could not understand the judges awarding her the first prize, because he thought that her performance was quite __________.
If (z + 1/z)2 = 98, compute (z2+1/z2).
(z + 1/z)2 = 98 use the formula (a + b)2=a2+b2+2ab (z + 1/z)2 = z2 + 1/z2 + 2*z*1/z =98 98 = z2 + 1/z2 + 2 98-2 = z2+1/z2 (z2+1/z2) = 96.
The roots of ''2+ 'x + '= 0 are real and positive a, b and c are real. Then ''2+ '|'| + ' = 0 has
The roots of a quadratic equation is The discriminant of a quadratic equation is D = b2 - 4ac If the quadratic equation has real and equal roots then D = 0 If the quadratic equation has real and distinct roots then D > 0 In the given equation, a, b, c are real roots. Discriminant of x i.e is b2 - 4ac > 0 Then x is also real and positive. So ''2+ '|'| + ' = 0 has 4 real roots.
