2. In the years since the city of London imposed strict air-pollution regulations on local industry, the number of bird species seen in and around London has increased dramatically.

1. D 2. E 3. A. It's not B because harsh times only increased the appeal of norms that softened laissez-faire capitalism (38-42), it's not C because the norms still existed in the late 19th century (33-37), D is tricky - we know that mercantilist notions supported the norms (27-30), but we're not to...

15% of 360 degrees (a full circle) = 54 degrees. Answer is (c).

x does 1/12 of the job in 1 hour.
y 1/15
z 1/18

y + z = (1/15) + (1/18) = (33/270)

x/(y + z) = (1/12)/(33/270) = 15/22

These are the rates, so the time is in the ratio 22/15.

Common-sense check: 33/270 > 1/12, so y + z is faster than x, so x must take more time!

I am still not clear with this can some one give a better explanation?? Let me give it a shot. We're looking for the option that does not contradict the passage. That doesn't mean it has to explicitly support the passage - it can be a neutral statement too, as long as it doesn't contradict. D is sa...
