Q:

A man pays Rs. 6.40 per litre of milk. He adds water and sells the mixture at Rs. 8 per litre, thereby making 37.5% profit. The proportion of water to milk received by the customers is

A) 1 : 10 B) 10 : 1
C) 9 : 11 D) 11 : 9
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 1 : 10

Explanation:

Customer ratio of Milk and Water is given by

Milk          ::        Water

  6.4                         0

         81 + 38 =6411

 6411                      6410 - 6411 

=> Milk : Water = 110 : 11 = 10 : 1

 

Therefore, the proportionate of Water to Milk for Customer is 1 : 10

Q:

Computer storage units smallest to largest?

Answer

The smallest unit of data storage in a computer is called Bit (Binary Digit). Half a byte (four bits) is called a Nibble.


 


1 bit (binary digit) = the value of 0 or 1


8 bits = 1 byte


1024 bytes = 1 kilobyte


1024 kilobytes = 1 megabyte


1024 megabytes = 1 gigabyte


1024 gigabytes = 1 terabyte


1024 terabytes = 1 petabyte


 


Hence, Computer storage units smallest to largest i.e, in ascending order is


 1 bit  <  1 byte  <  1 KB  <  1 MB  <  1 GB  <  1TB  <  1 PB.

Q:

What are the reactants in a chemical reaction?

Answer

In a chemical reaction, substances (elements or compounds) called reactants are changed into other substances (compounds or elements) called products. Hence, reactants are those which start the chemical reaction.


 


For example:


1. In the burning of natural gas, methane (CH4) and oxygen (O2) are the reactants in the chemical reaction. are the substances formed by a chemical reaction. In the burning of natural gas, carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) are the products formed by the reaction.


 


2. H2+O2 ----> H2O


Here H2 & O2 are called Reactants and H2O is called Product.

Q:

K can build a wall in 30 days. L can demolish that wall in 60 days. If K and L work on alternate days, when will the wall be completed ?

A) 120 days B) 119 days
C) 118 days D) 117 days
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 117 days

Explanation:

K's work in a day(1st day) = 1/30
L's work in a day(2nd day)= -1/60(demolishing)
hence in 2 days, combined work= 1/30 - 1/60 =1/60
since both works alternatively, K will work in odd days and L will work in even days.
1/60 unit work is done in 2 days
58/60 unit work will be done in 2 x 58 days = 116 days
Remaining work = 1-58/60 = 1/30
Next day, it will be K's turn and K will finish the remaining 1/30 work.
hence total days = 116 + 1 = 117.
