Q:

In which layer is the pressure the highest?

A) Ionosphere B) Stratosphere
C) Troposphere D) Inner core
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Inner core

Explanation:

"Pressure" is the ratio of mass to area. So, for any given area, the one with more mass pressing on it will experience a higher pressure.

 

As you go more deeply into the atmosphere OR earth itself, you are putting more and more mass over you. For the same unit area therefore, the pressure, (mass/area) increases.

 

Hence, the lowest layer will always have the highest pressure i.e, inner core.

Q:

On retirement, a woman gets Rs. 1,45,440 of her provident fund which she invests in a scheme at 20% per annum. Her monthly income from this scheme will be

A) Rs. 2550 B) Rs. 2424
C) Rs. 2224 D) Rs. 2380
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Rs. 2424

Explanation:

Now, the principal amount P = Rs. 1,45,440

Rate of interest R = 20%/annum

Now monthly income I = PTR/100 = 1,45,440 x 20 x 1/100 x 12

= 2908800/1200

= Rs. 2424.

 

Hence, her monthly income = Rs. 2424.
