Q:

What holds the sides of the DNA ladder together?

A) Polar covalent bonds B) Ionic bonds
C) Metallic bonds D) Covalent bonds
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Covalent bonds

Explanation:

Deoxyribose, which is a pentose, and a phosphate group are the two molecules together form the two sides of the DNA i.e, A sugar (deoxyribose) and a phosphate.

DNA is a double-stranded molecule twisted into a helix (think of a spiral staircase). Each spiraling strand, comprised of a sugar-phosphate backbone and attached bases, is connected to a complementary strand by non-covalent hydrogen bonding between paired bases. The bases are adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C) and guanine (G). A and T are connected by two hydrogen bonds. G and C are connected by three hydrogen bonds.

Q:

Solve the missing number puzzle?

missing-number-puzzle1558420078.jpg image

A) 9 B) 6
C) 5 D) 4
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 4

Explanation:

Let the value to be find be 'x'.

 
Sum of individual column value = 14

 
C1 = 7 + 2 + 1 + 4 = 14
C2 = 3 + 8 + 1 + 2 = 14
C3 = 6 + 5 + 2 + 1 = 14

 

C4 = 2 + 4 + 4 + x = 14

x = 14 - 10

x = 4

 

Hence, the missing number is '4'.

Q:

Which compound is a nonelectrolyte?

A) C2H6O B) HCl
C) Na2CO3 D) NaCl
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) C2H6O

Explanation:

C2H6O is a Non-electrolyte.

 

An electrolyte is a compound that conducts an electric current when it is in an aqueous solution or melted. In order to conduct a current, a substance must contain mobile ions that can move from one electrode to the other. All ionic compounds are electrolytes. When ionic compounds dissolve, they break apart into ions which are then able to conduct a current ( conductivity ). Even insoluble ionic compounds such as CaCO 3 are electrolytes because they can conduct a current in the molten (melted) state.

 

A nonelectrolyte is a compound that does not conduct an electric current in either aqueous solution or in the molten state. Many molecular compounds, such as sugar or ethanol, are nonelectrolytes. When these compounds dissolve in water, they do not produce ions.

 

Electrolytes are of 3 types ---- Strong Electrolytes, Weak Electrolytes and Non Electrolytes.

 

Strong Electrolytes ---- Compounds which completely dissolves. ( NaCl, Na2Co3, HCl )

Weak Electrolytes ----- Compounds which do not completely dissolves.

Non Electrolytes ------ Compounds which do not dissolves at all.

Q:

Succus Entericus is secreted by

A) Auerbach's plexus B) Peyers patches.
C) Brunner's glands D) Crypts of Lieberkuhn
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Crypts of Lieberkuhn

Explanation:

Succus Entericus is the alkaline secretion produced by glands in the wall of the duodenum, consisting of water, mucoproteins, and hydrogencarbonate ions.

 

Succus Entericus is secreted by Crypts of Lieberkuhn.

 

It helps to counteract the highly acidic and proteolytic chyme entering the small intestine from the stomach, and thus protects the duodenum from damage.

Q:

In a certain Business, the profit is 220% of the cost. If the cost increases by 25% but the selling price remains constant, approximately what percentage of the selling price is the profit ?

A) 61% B) 75%
C) 55% D) 81%
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 61%

Explanation:

Let C.P.= Rs. 100.

Then, Profit = Rs.220, 

S.P. = Rs.320.

 

New C.P. = 125% of Rs. 100 = Rs. 125 

New S.P. = Rs.320.

Profit = Rs. (320 - 125) = Rs. 195

 

Required percentage = 195320×100== 60.9 =~ 61%

Q:

A man covered a certain distance at some speed. Had he moved 3 kmph faster, he would have taken 40 minutes less. If he had moved 2 kmph slower, he would have taken 40 minutes more. The distance (in km) is 

A) 30 B) 36
C) 40 D) 42
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 40

Explanation:

Let distance = x km and usual rate = y kmph.
Then, x/y - x/(y+3) = 40/60 --> 2y (y+3) = 9x ----- (i)
Also, x/(y-2) - x/y = 40/60 --> y(y-2) = 3x -------- (ii)
On dividing (i) by (ii), we get:

x = 40 km.

Q:

88 cubic centimetres of silver is drawn into a wire 1 mm in diameter. The length of the wire in metres will be ?

A) 112 mts B) 84 mts
C) 96 mts D) 108 mts
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 84 mts

Explanation:

Vol of silver = πR2h  = 66 C.C  

Given D= 1mm => R = D/2 = 1/20 cm  

 

=> 227×1202×h = 66

= 66 x 400 x (7/22) = 8400 cm = 84 mtrs.
