Q:

Two stations A and B are 200 km apart on a straight track. One train starts from A at 7 a.m. and travels towards B at 20 kmph. Another train starts from B at 8 a.m. and travels towards A at a speed of 25 kmph. At what time will they meet?

A) 12 a.m. B) 1 p.m.
C) 11 a.m. D) 12 p.m.
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 12 p.m.

Explanation:

Assume both trains meet after 'p' hours after 7 a.m.
Distance covered by train starting from A in 'p' hours = 20p km
Distance covered by train starting from B in (p-1) hours = 25(p-1)
Total distance = 200
=> 20x + 25(x-1) = 200
=> 45x = 225
=> p= 5
Means, they meet after 5 hours after 7 am, ie, they meet at 12 p.m.

Q:

If Hema walks at 12 km/hr instead of 8 km/hr, she would have walked 20 km more. The actual distance travelled by Hema is ?

A) 40 kms B) 30 kms
C) 46 kms D) 32 kms
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 40 kms

Explanation:

Let the actual distance travelled be x km.
Then x/8=(x+20)/12
=> 12x = 8x + 160
=> 4x = 160
=> x = 40 km.

Q:

The compound interest on a certain sum for 2 years at 10% per annum is Rs. 1155. The simple interest on the same sum for double the time at half the rate percent per annum is ?

A) Rs. 1100 B) Rs. 5500
C) Rs. 1400 D) Rs. 4120
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Rs. 1100

Explanation:

Let the sum be Rs.x. Then, 

 

 x1+101002-x=1155

 

x11102-1=1155

 

=> x =5500

 

sum = Rs. 5500.

 

So, S.I = Rs. 5500×5×4100 = 1100

Q:

Water is a compound because it?

A) it contains two different elements joined by chemical bond B) it contains hydrogen & oxygen
C) it exists as solid, liquid or gas D) it cannot be split up into simpler substances by chemicals means
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) it contains two different elements joined by chemical bond

Explanation:

We know that All compounds are molecules, but not all molecules are compounds.

Water is a molecule because it is made from atoms that have been chemically combined. It is also a compound because the atoms that make water are not all the same - some are oxygen and some are hydrogen.

 

Hence, Water is a molecule and a compound.

Q:

Two trains start from same place at same time at right angles to each other. Their speeds are 36km/hr and 48km/hr respectively. After 30 seconds the distance between them will be ?

A) 900 mts B) 300 mts
C) 250 mts D) 500 mts
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 500 mts

Explanation:

Using pythagarous theorem,
distance travelled by first train = 36x5/18x30 = 300m
distance travelled by second train = 48x5/18x30 = 400m
so distance between them =√( 90000 + 160000) = √250000 = 500mts.
