C) locating geostationary satellites D) receiving a signals in a radio receiver
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) detecting and locating the position of objects such as Aeroplanes

Explanation:

RADAR - RAdio Detection And Ranging.

A radar system consists of a transmitter producing electromagnetic waves in the radio or microwaves domain, a transmitting antenna, a receiving antenna (often the same antenna is used for transmitting and receiving) and a receiver and processor to determine properties of the objects. 

 

Radar is an object-detection system that uses radio waves to determine the range, angle, or velocity of objects. It can be used to detect aircraft, ships, spacecraft, guided missiles, motor vehicles, weather formations, and terrain.

 

Radio waves from the transmitter reflect off the object and return to the receiver, giving information about the object's location and speed.

Q:

Which of the following fraction is the largest?

A) 7/12 B) 9/16
C) 13/20 D) 32/80
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 7/12

Explanation:

Here to say which fraction is greater from the given options, the fraction with greater numerator with same denominator or smaller denominator with same numerator.

To find the greater fraction, among the given options, make the denominators same for the options by finding the LCM of all the denominators.

7/12, 9/16, 13/20, 32/80

Now, LCM of 12, 16, 20, 80 = 240.

Then,

140/240, 135/240, 156/240, 96/240

Here 

156240 > 140240 > 135240 > 96240=> 1320 > 712 > 916 > 3280

 

Hence, largest fraction = 13/20.

Q:

K, L and M can do a piece of work in 20, 30 and 60 days respectively. In how many days can K do the total work if he is assisted by L and M on every third day ?

A) 15 days B) 13 days
C) 12 days D) 10 days
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 15 days

Explanation:

In one day work done by K = 1/20

Work done by K in 2 days = 1/10

 

Work done by K,L,M on 3rd day =1/20 + 1/30 + 1/60 = 1/10

Therefore, workdone in 3 days is = 1/10 + 1/10 = 1/5

 

1/5th of the work will be completed at the end of 3 days.

The remaining work = 1 - 1/5 = 4/5

1/5 of work is completed in 3 days

Total work wiil be done in 3 x 5 = 15 days.

Q:

Two trains running in opposite directions cross a pole placed on the platform in 47 seconds and 31 seconds respectively. If they cross each other in 33 seconds, what is the ratio of their speeds?

A) 1:7 B) 7:1
C) 2:3 D) 3:2
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 1:7

Explanation:

Let the speed of the trains be x and y respectively
length of train1 = 47x
length of train2 = 31y
Relative speed= x + y
Time taken to cross each other = 33 s
=> 47x+31yx+y= 33
=> (47x + 31 y) = 33(x + y)
=> 14x = 2y
=> x/y = 2/14 = 1/7

 = 1:7
