Q:

Two numbers are in the ratio 3 : 7. If 6 be added to each of them, then they are in the ratio 5 : 9. Find the numbers ?

A) 11 & 17 B) 7 & 17
C) 9 & 21 D) 13 & 23
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 9 & 21

Explanation:

Let the two numbers be x and y

Given x : y = 3 : 7 .....(1)

Now, x+6 : y+6 = 5 : 9 .....(2)

From (1), x = 3y/7

From (2), 5y - 9x = 24

=> 5y - 9(3y/7) = 24

=> y = 21

=> From(1), x = 9

Hence, the two numbers be 9 and 21

Q:

A boat running upstream takes 8 hours 48 minutes to cover a certain distance, while it takes 4 hours to cover the same distance running downstream. What is the ratio between the speed of the boat and speed of the water current respectively?

A) 7:4 B) 11:4
C) 4:7 D) 8:3
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 8:3

Explanation:

Let the speed of the boat upstream be p kmph and that of downstream be q kmph

 

Time for upstream = 8 hrs 48 min = 845hrs

 

Time for downstream = 4 hrs

 

Distance in both the cases is same.

 

=> p x  845= q x 4

 

=> 44p/5 = 4q

 

=> q = 11p/5

 

 Now, the required ratio of Speed of boat : Speed of water current

 

q+p2:q-p2

 

=> (11p/5 + p)/2  : (11p/5 - p)/2

 

=> 8 : 3

Q:

Which Noble Gas has the highest First Ionization Energy?

A) Neon B) Helium
C) Argon D) Xenon
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Helium

Explanation:

Helium has the highest First Ionization Energy in the Noble Gases group.

Ionization Energy ::

Ionisation energy is the energy required to remove one mole of electrons from one mole of gaseous atoms. Atoms are more stable when they have full valence shells.

Noble Gases have a very stable electron configuration, therefore, they have the highest amount of ionization energy within their periods. It decreases down a family because electrons farther from the nucleus are easier to remove.

Ionization Energy levels of Noble Gases group in Descending Order :: He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe, Rn

Q:

In what time will Rs. 1860 amount to Rs. 2641.20 at simple interest 12% per annum?

A) 2.9 years B) 3.5 years
C) 4.2 years D) 4.7 years
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 3.5 years

Explanation:

Given that Rs. 1860 will become Rs. 2641.20 at 12%

 

=> Simple Interest = 2641.20 - 1860 = Rs. 781.20

 

We know I = PTR/100

 

=> 781.20 x 100 = 1860 x T x 12

 

=> T = 78120/1860x12

 

=> T = 78120/22320

 

=> T = 3.5 years.
