Hazrat Hajra (Hagar) is recognized in Islamic tradition as the wife (or concubine) of Hazrat Ibrahim (AS) and the mother of Hazrat Ismail (AS).

This is supported by Islamic historical sources and scholarly interpretations. Hazrat Sara (Sarah) was also a wife of Ibrahim but is not described as the Pharaoh's daughter. Therefore, option B is correct.

The original square has side length s, so its area is s². When the length is increased by 40%, the new length becomes 1.4s. When the breadth is increased by 30%, the new breadth becomes 1.3s. The area of the resulting rectangle is therefore 1.4s × 1.3s = 1.82s². This means the new area is 1.82 times the original area, which corresponds to an 82% increase in area. Hence, the correct answer is 82%, which is option B.

If the Earth's equatorial plane were not inclined to the plane of its orbit (the ecliptic), there would be no seasonal variation because the Sun's rays would strike the Earth uniformly throughout the year. Therefore, there would be no change of seasons.

The small intestine is the primary site for the absorption of nutrients from digested food due to its large surface area and specialized structures like villi and microvilli.
