Q:

At what time between 4 and 5 o'clock will the hands of a watch point in opposite directions?

 A) 54 past 4 B) (53 + 7/11) past 4 C) (54 + 8/11) past 4 D) (54 + 6/11) past 4

Explanation:

4 o'clock, the hands of the watch are 20 min. spaces apart.
To be in opposite directions, they must be 30 min. spaces apart.
Minute hand will have to gain 50 min. spaces.
55 min. spaces are gained in 60 min

50 min. spaces are gained in $\frac{60}{55}×50$ min. or $54\frac{6}{11}$

Required time = $54\frac{6}{11}$ min. past 4.

Q:

A batsman makes a score of 87 runs in the 17th inning and thus increases his average by 3. Find his average after 17th inning?

Q:

If the radius of a circle is decreased by 50%, find the percentage decrease in its area.

 A) 55% B) 65% C) 75% D) 85%

Explanation:

New radius = $\frac{50}{100}R$$\frac{50}{100}R$

Original area =$\frac{R}{2}$  and new area = ${\mathrm{\pi R}}^{2}$

$\frac{3{\mathrm{\pi R}}^{2}}{4}*\frac{1}{{\mathrm{\pi R}}^{2}}*100$

Decrease in area = $\mathrm{\pi }{\left(\frac{\mathrm{R}}{2}\right)}^{2}=\frac{{\mathrm{\pi R}}^{2}}{4}$ = 75%

Q:

If log 2 = 0.3010 and log 3 = 0.4771, the values of log5 512 is

 A) 2.875 B) 3.875 C) 4.875 D) 5.875

Explanation:

ANS:      log5512 = log512/log5  =  $\frac{\mathrm{log}{2}^{9}}{\mathrm{log}\left(10/2\right)}$  =$\frac{9\mathrm{log}2}{\mathrm{log}10-\mathrm{log}2}$ =$\frac{9*0.3010}{1-0.3010}$ =2.709/0.699 =2709/699 =3.876

Q:

The blue colour of the clear sky is due to

 A) Diffraction of light B) Dispersion of light C) Reflection of light D) Refraction of light

Explanation:

A clear cloudless day-time sky is blue because molecules in the air dissipate blue light from the sun more than they dissipate red light. When we look towards the sun at sunset, we see red and orange hues on the grounds because the blue light has been scattered out and away from the line of sight.
