Q:

1 Billion Seconds Equals to

A) 34.76 years B) 32.48 years
C) 33.31 years D) 31.68 years
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 31.68 years

Explanation:

We know that 1 year = 365.25 days

1 day = 24 hours

1 hour = 60 minutes

1 minute = 60 seconds

 

=> 1 Year = 365.25 x 24 x 60 x 60 Seconds

But 1 billion seconds = ?

1 Year = 365.25 x 24 x 60 x 60 Seconds

    ?     =  1000000000 Seconds

 

? = 1000000000365.25 x 24 x 60 x 60 years = 31. 68 years.

Q:

The circumferences of two circles are 264 meters and 352 meters. Find the difference between the areas of the larger and the smaller circles  ?

A) 2413 sq.m B) 1234 sq.m
C) 4312 sq.m D) 2143 sq.m
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 4312 sq.m

Explanation:

Let the radii of the smaller and the larger circles be 's' m and 'l' m respectively.  

 2πs = 264 and 2πl = 352  

 

 s = 2642π and l = 3522π   

Difference between the areas =πl2-πs2   

  = π1762π2-1322π2 

  = 1762π-1322π  

  = (176 - 132)(176 + 132) / π  

  = (44 x 308) / (22/7) = 4312 sq.m

C) 33% D) 44%
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 38%

Explanation:

% Change in Curved Surface Area is given by 

%Change in radius + %Change in height + %Change in radius × %Change in height 100  

+20 + 15 + 20×15100 = 38%

Q:

If (2a + 3b)/(5a - 3b) = 23/5 , then the value of ba is ?

A) 5 B) 4
C) 20 D) 28
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 20

Explanation:

Given (2a + 3b)/(5a - 3b) = 23/5
=> 10a + 15b = 115a - 69b
=> 105a = 84b => 5a = 4b
a/b = 4/5 => a=4 & b=5
=> bxa = 5x4 = 20.

Q:

The average weight of 45 passengers in a bus is 52 kg. 5 of them whose average weight is 48 kg leave the bus and other 5 passengers whose average weight is 54 kg join the bus at the same stop. What is the new average weight of the bus?   

A) 54.21 kgs B) 51.07 kgs
C) 52.66 kgs D) 53.45 kgs
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 52.66 kgs

Explanation:

Given total number of passengers in the bus = 45

First average weight of 45 passengers = 52 kgs

Average weight of 5 passengers who leave bus = 48

Average weight of passengers who joined the bus = 54

Therefore, the net average weight of the bus is given by

= 45 x 52 - 5 x 48 + 5 x 5445 = 237045= 1583= 52.66 kgs.
