Q:

A batsman scores 26 runs and increases his average from 14 to 15. Find the runs to be made if he wants top increasing the average to 19 in the same match ?

A) 74 B) 79
C) 72 D) 60
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 74

Explanation:

Number of runs scored more to increse the ratio by 1 is 26 - 14 = 12
To raise the average by one (from 14 to 15), he scored 12 more than the existing average.
Therefore, to raise the average by five (from 14 to 19), he should score 12 x 5 = 60 more than the existing average. Thus he should score 14 + 60 = 74.

Q:

A man spend Rs. 810 in buying trouser at Rs. 70 each and shirt at Rs. 30 each. What will be the ratio of trouser and shirt when the maximum number of trouser is purchased ?

A) 1:3 B) 2:1
C) 3:2 D) 2:3
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 3:2

Explanation:

Let us assume S as number of shirts and T as number of trousers
Given that each trouser cost = Rs.70 and that of shirt = Rs.30
Therefore, 70 T + 30 S = 810
=> 7T + 3S = 81......(1)
T = ( 81 - 3S )/7

We need to find the least value of S which will make (81 - 3S) divisible by 7 to get maximum value of T
Simplifying by taking 3 as common factor i.e, 3(27-S) / 7
In the above equation least value of S as 6 so that 27- 3S becomes divisible by 7

Hence T = (81-3xS)/7 = (81-3x6)/7 = 63/7 = 9

Hence for S, put T in eq(1), we get
S = 81-7(9)/3 = 81-63 / 3 = 18/3 = 6.
The ratio of T:S = 9:6 = 3:2.

Q:

Which bond has the greatest ionic character?

A) H-F B) H-Cl
C) H-N D) H-O
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) H-F

Explanation:

Ionic character depends on the electronegativity difference between the bonding elements. The greatest the elctronegativity diffference the greatest the ionic character.

Here in the given options, H-F has has the greatest ionic character. The electronegativity of Hydrogen is 2.1 and that of Fluorine is 4. Now the electronegativity difference is 4 - 2.1 = 1.9.

Q:

P and Q can do a work in 4 hours and 12 hours respectively. P starts the work at 9am and they work alternately for one hour each. When will the work be completed ?

A) 3 am B) 12 pm
C) 1 pm D) 3 pm
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 3 pm

Explanation:

Work done by P and Q in the first two hours, working alternately

= First hour P + Second hour Q

14+112=13

work is completed in 2 hours

Then, the total time required to complete the work by P and Q working alternately=2 x 3= 6hours

Thus, work will be completed at 3pm.

Q:

In a college, number of boys is 75% of number of girls. Difference between boys and girls is 35. On a particular day 20% boys were absent, then find the number of boys those who present?

A) 72 B) 84
C) 93 D) 81
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 84

Explanation:

Ratio of girls and boys = 100% : 75% = 4:3

Difference is 1 unit = 35

So, 3 units = 35 x 3 = 105

If 20% absent, that’s mean 80% present.

So, present boys = 80% of 105 = 80×105100 = 84
