Q:

What is the Probability of all cars not clashing each other ?

triangular1504515041.jpg image

A) 1/8 B) 0
C) 1/4 D) 1
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 1/4

Explanation:

Non collision can happen only when all the cars move in same direction.

That is either all cars moving in clockwise direction or all cars moving in anti clockwise direction.
P(all cars not colliding)

= P(all cars moving in the same direction)

= P(all cars moving in clockwise direction)  +  P(all cars moving in anticlockwise direction)

= [p(A --> C) x p(C --> B) x p(B --> A)]  +  [p(A --> B) x p(B --> C) x p(C --> A)]

= [1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2] + [1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2]

= 1/8 + 1/8

= 1/4

Q:

A woman says, "If you reverse my own age, the figures represent my husband's age. He is, of course, senior to me and the difference between our ages is one-eleventh of their sum." The woman's husband age is ?

A) 45 B) 24
C) 42 D) 54
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 54

Explanation:

By trial and error method from the given options,

as 54 - 45 =  (1/11) x (45+54)  = 99/11  = 9

Hence this satisfies the given conditions.

Then the woman's husband age is 54.

Q:

What causes brownian motion in colloids?

A) coagulation of particles and the dispersed phase B) erratic flashes of light
C) molecules of the dispersion medium colliding with dispersed phase particles D) All the above
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) molecules of the dispersion medium colliding with dispersed phase particles

Explanation:

When their is a colloid in the solution, then it will show the Brownian movement, such as dust particle in the air will show the Brownian movement.

 

Hence, Brownian movement arises due to the impact of the molecules of the dispersion medium with the colloidal particles. It has been postulated that the impact of the molecules of dispersion medium on the colloidal particles are unequal.

 

This leads to the zig-zag (random) motion of the colloidal particles.

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.

7 + 3 - 4 = 6


Similarly,


4 + 2 - 2 = 4


9 + 5 - 4 = 10

Q:

A, B and C can do a piece of work in 72, 48 and 36 days respectively. For first p/2 days, A & B work together and for next ((p+6))/3days all three worked together. Remaining 125/3% of work is completed by D in 10 days. If C & D worked together for p day then, what portion of work will be remained?

A) 1/5 B) 1/6
C) 1/7 D) 1/8
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 1/6

Explanation:

Total work is given by L.C.M of 72, 48, 36

Total work = 144 units

Efficieny of A = 144/72 = 2 units/day

Efficieny of B = 144/48 = 3 units/day

Efficieny of C = 144/36 = 4 units/day

 

According to the given data,

2 x p/2 + 3 x p/2 + 2 x (p+6)/3 + 3 x (p+6)/3 + 4 x (p+6)/3 = 144 x (100 - 125/3) x 1/100

3p + 4.5p + 2p + 3p + 4p = 84 x 3 - 54

p = 198/16.5

p = 12 days.

 

Now, efficency of D = (144 x 125/3 x 1/100)/10 = 6 unit/day

(C+D) in p days = (4 + 6) x 12 = 120 unit

Remained part of work = (144-120)/144 = 1/6.
