Calculate the resistance between the terminals A and B in the image?

8 resistors (orange color) are connected to form a regular octagon. 8 more resistors (blue color) connect the vertices of the octagon to its center. All the 16 resistors are of resistance 420 ohms.

enter image description here

If the connecting wires have negligible resistance, calculate the equivalent resistance (in ohms, rounded to the nearest integer) between the terminals A and B.

How does the speed of the rocket vary with time if fuel is ejecting at a uniform rate?

A rocket, initially at rest in deep space, starts its thrusters, which then burn and eject fuel at a uniform rate to provide constant thrust to the rocket.

How does the speed of the rocket vary with time?

a) The speed remains constant
b) The speed increases at a constant rate
c) The speed increases at a decreasing rate
d) The speed increases at an increasing rate

A number is divided into two parts such that 60% of the first part is 3 more than the 80% of the second part...........

A number is divided into two parts such that 60% of the first part is 3 more than the 80% of the second part.
Also 40% of the first part is 5 less than the 65% of the second part.
What is the number?
