Q:

What is the primary component of natural gas?

A) Nitrogen B) Ethane
C) Propane D) Methane
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Methane

Explanation:

Natural gas is primarily composed of methane, but also contains ethane, propane, and heavier hydrocarbons.

 

Natural gas is a colorless, tasteless, odorless, and non-toxic gas. Because it is odorless, mercaptan is added to the natural gas, in very small amounts to give the gas a distinctive smell of rotten eggs. This strong smell can alert you of a potential gas leak.

 

It also contains small amounts of nitrogen, carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulphide and trace amounts of water.

Q:

A motorboat goes 8 km an hour in still water, but takes thrice as much time in going the same distance against the current than going with the current. Then find the speed of the current?

A) 4 kmph B) 6 kmph
C) 3 kmph D) 2 kmph
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 4 kmph

Explanation:

Let the speed of current = 'C' km/hr

 

Given the speed of boat in still water = 6 kmph

 

Let 'd' kms be the distance it covers.

 

According to the given data,

 

Boat takes thrice as much time in going the same distance against the current than going with the current

 

i.e, d8 - C = 3 × d8 + C

 

 24 - 3C = 8 + C 4C = 16 C = 4 kmph

 

Hence, the speed of the current C = 4 kmph.
