Q:

A watch which gains uniformly ,is 5 min,slow at 8 o'clock in the morning on sunday and it is 5 min 48 sec.fast at 8 p.m on following sunday. when was it correct?

 A) 7pm on wednesday B) 20 min past 7pm on wednesday C) 15min past 7pm on wednesday D) 8pm on wednesday

Explanation:

This sunday morning at 8:00 AM, the watch is 5 min. Slow, and the next sunday at 8:00PM it becomes 5 min 48 sec fast.  The watch gains $\inline \fn_jvn \small 5+5\tfrac{48}{60}$ min in a time of  (7×24)+12 = 180 hours.

To show the correct time, it has to gain 5 min.

$\inline \fn_jvn \frac{54}{5}min\rightarrow 180 \; hours$

$\inline \fn_jvn 5\; min\rightarrow ?$

$\inline \fn_jvn \Rightarrow \frac{5}{\frac{54}{5}}\times 180$

$\inline \fn_jvn 83\frac{1}{3}hrs =72hrs+11\frac{1}{3}hrs=3days+11hrs+20min$

So the correct time will be shown on wednesday at 7:20 PM

Q:

A parallelogram has sides 30m and 14m and one of its diagonals is 40m long. Then its area is

 A) 136 B) 236 C) 336 D) 436

Explanation:

let ABCD be the given parallelogram

area of parallelogram ABCD = 2 x (area of triangle ABC)

now a = 30m, b = 14m and c = 40m

$\inline \fn_jvn s=\frac{1}{2}\times \left ( 30+14+40 \right ) = 42$

Area of triangle ABC = $\inline&space;{\color{Black}\sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)}}$

= $\inline&space;{\color{Black}\sqrt{42(12)(28)(2)}}$= 168sq m

area of parallelogram ABCD = 2 x 168 = 336 sq m

Q:

At what time between 5 and 6 o' clock are the hands of a 3 minutes apart ?

 A) 24min B) 12min C) 13min D) 14min

Explanation:

In this type of problems the formuae is
(5*x+ or - t)*12/11
Here x is replaced by the first interval of given time. Here x is 5.
t is spaces apart

Case 1 : (5*x + t) * 12/11

(5*5 + 3) * 12/11

28 * 12/11 = 336/11= $\inline 31\frac{5}{11}$ min

therefore the hands will be 3 min apart at 31 5/11 min past 5.

Case 2 : (5*x - t) * 12/11

(5*5 -3 ) * 12/11

22 *12/11 = 24 min

therefore the hands will be 3 min apart at 24 min past 5

Q:

The weight of an object will be minimum when it is placed at  ?

 A) The North Pole B) The South Pole C) The Equator D) The center of the Earth

Explanation:

The weight of an object is minimum when it is placed at the center of the earth because when an object is in the center, it experiences gravitational pull from all directions.
