Q:

If a 36 cm thread is used to wrap a book, lengthwise twice and breadth wise once, what is the size of the book ?

A) 288 sq.cm B) 188 sq.cm
C) 144 sq.cm D) 244 sq.cm
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 288 sq.cm

Explanation:

Length of the thread is 36 cms.
length wise twice breath wise once then totally thrice.
so 36/3 = 12.
so length is 12 x 2 = 24 cms
breath is 12 cms
Area of the book = length x breath = 24 x 12 = 288 sq.cm

Q:

What does one mole of H2O correspond to

A) 16 gms B) 18 gms
C) 20 gms D) 22 gms
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 18 gms

Explanation:

The molar mass of H2O can be calculated as the following.

M(H2O)= [2 x M(H)] + [M(O)].

And we know that M(H) = 1g/mol, M(O) = 16g/mol.

So, M(H2O)= 2x1 + 16 = 18g/mol,

That means 1 mole of H2O contains 18g.

 

Hence, one mole of H2O corresponds to 18 grams.

Q:

If 6 engines consume 24 metric tonnes of coal, when each is working 8 hours day, how much coal will be required for 9 engines, each running 13hours a day, it being given that 2 engines of former type consume as much as 3 engines of latter type ?

A) 45 metric tonnes B) 47 metric tonnes
C) 55 metric tonnes D) 34 metric tonnes
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 45 metric tonnes

Explanation:

2 engines of former type for one hour consumes (2 x 24)/(6 x8) = 1 metric ton 

i.e. 3 engines of latter type consumes 1 ton for one hour

Hence 9 engines consumes 3 tons for one hour

For 15 hours it is 15 x 3 = 45 metric tonnes.

Q:

The average age of 7 boys is increased by 1 year when one of tem whose age is replaced by a girl. What is the age of the girl ?

A) 33 yrs B) 27 yrs
C) 21 yrs D) 29 yrs
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 29 yrs

Explanation:

Let the avg age of 7 boys be 'p' years
Let the age of the girl be 'q' years
From given data,
The age of 7 boys = 7p years
Now the new average = (p + 1) when 22 yrs is replaced by q
Now the age of all 7 will become = 7(p + 1) yrs
Hence, 7p - 22 + q = 7(p + 1) yrs
7p - 22 + q = 7p + 7
q = 22 + 7 = 29

Therefore, the age of girl = q = 29 years.

Q:

What is the gram formula mass of Li2SO4?

A) 101.2487 B) 109.9446
C) 111.2687 D) 106.5871
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 109.9446

Explanation:

The term gram formula mass is synonymous with molecular mass. So, to get this, we must add molar mass of all the elements in this compound.

 

Given compound is Lithium Sulphate - Li2SO4

Elemental calculation ::

Li  -  Lithium   -   6.941    -     2   -   13.88200 %
S  -  Sulfur     -    32.065   -    1   -   32.065 %
O  -  Oxygen   -   15.9994  -    4   -   63.9976 %

Now, total = 12.6264 + 29.1647 + 58.2090 = 109.9446 

 

Hence, the gram formula mass of Li2SO4 = 109.9446.

Q:

The respective ratio between the speed of a bike, a van  and lorry is 3 : 5 : 2. The speed of the van is 250 percent of the speed of the lorry which covers 360 km in 12 hours. What is the average speed of the bike and the van together?

A) 60 kmph B) 62 kmph
C) 64 kmph D) 63 kmph
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 60 kmph

Explanation:

Speed of lorry = 36012 = 30 kmph

Speed of van =250100 x 30 = 75 kmph

Speed of bike = 35 x 75 = 45 kmph

Therefore, now required average speed of bike and van  = 75 + 452= 60 kmph.

Q:

Sum of present ages of P and Q is 41. Age of P 2 year hence is equal to age of R, 1 year ago. Age of P, 4 year hence is equal to age of Q 1 year ago and ratio of present age of P and S is 3 : 4. Find the difference of age of R and S. 

A) 2 B) 3
C) 4 D) 5
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 3

Explanation:

According to the given data,

P + Q = 41 ......(1)

R - 1 = P + 2

R = P + 3

and

P + 4 = Q - 1

=> Q = P + 5 ....(2)

From (1)&(2)

P = 18

Q = 18 + 5 = 23

R = 18 + 3 = 21

=> P/S = 3/4

=> S = 4/3 x 18 = 24

Required Difference = S - R = 24 - 21 = 3.
