Q:

When I was married 10 years ago my wife is the 6th member of the family. Today my father died and a baby born to me.The average age of my family during my marriage is same as today. What is the age of Father when he died ?

A) 50 yrs B) 60 yrs
C) 70 yrs D) 65 yrs
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 60 yrs

Explanation:

Let the Father be x years when he died

Average Age 10 years ago be A

Total Age 10 years ago = 6*A

Total Age after 10 years(Just before father's Death) = 6A + 6*10 = 6A + 60

Father Died and Baby was born => the Total number of people in the family is Same (6)
Baby born today so age of baby = 0

(6A +60 - x)/6 = 6A/6
=> A + 10 -(x/6) = A
=> x/6 = 10
=> x = 60

Therefore we can conclude that the father was 60 years old when he died.

Q:

Permanent Hardness of water can be removed by adding

A) Bleaching powder B) Chlorine
C) Wasshing soda D) Potassium permanganate
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Wasshing soda

Explanation:

Hardness can be removed by adding sodium carbonate (washing soda) or by passing the water through an ion-exchange column.

 

Hardness in water is caused by dissolved magnesium ions and calcium ions. These can get into the water when it comes into contact with limestone and other rocks that contain calcium compounds. This can happen, for example, when rainwater flows over these rocks on its way to a reservoir.

 

Hardness in water is of two types. They are :

1. Temporary hardness

2. Permanent hardness

 

1. Temporary hardness:: Temporary hardness is caused by dissolved calcium hydrogen carbonate.


2. Permanent hardness:: Permanent hardness is caused by dissolved calcium sulfate. Unlike temporary hardness, it is not removed by boiling the water.

A) UPVCZLR B) VPCVZRL
C) CVCPZRL D) VCPCZLR
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) VPCVZRL

Explanation:

ROUTINE IS 7 LETTER WORD.. (1st=R,2nd=O,3rd=U,4th=T,5th=I,6th=N,7th=E)
1st and 3rd letter interchanging. (UORTINE)
5th and 7th letter interchanging. (UORTENI)
1st letter shifting one after that (VORTENI)
2nd letter shifting two befor that (VMRTENI)
3rd letter remains same (VMRTENI)
4th letter
(total alphabets - current)+1
(26 - 20)+1= 7.(i.e) G (VMRGFNI)
5th letter shifting one after that (VMRGFNI)
6th letter shifting two befor that (VMRGFLI)
7th letter remains same (VMRGFLI
Like that,
CRUELTY IS 7 LETTER WORD.. (1st=C,2nd=R,3rd=U,4th=E,5th=L,6th=T,7th=Y)
1st and 3rd letter interchanging. (URCELTY)
5th and 7th letter interchanging. (URCEYTL)
1st letter shifting one after that (VRCEYTL)
2nd letter shifting two befor that (VPCEYTL)
3rd letter remains same (VPCEYTL)
4th letter
(total alphabets - current)+1
(26 - 5)+1= 22.(i.e) V (VPCVYTL)
5th letter shifting one after that (VPCVZTL)
6th letter shifting two befor that (VPCVZRL)
7th letter remains same (VPCVZRL).

Q:

At what time, between 3 o’clock and 4 o’clock, both the hour hand and minute hand coincide each other  ? 

A) 3:16 7/11 B) 3:16 11/4
C) 3:30 D) 3:16 4/11
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 3:16 4/11

Explanation:

Coincide means 00  angle.

This can be calculated using the formulafor time A to B means  [11m/2 - 30 (A)]

Here m gives minutes after A the both hands coincides.

Here A = 3, B = 4

0 =11m/2 –30 × 3
11m = 90 × 2 = 180
m= 180/11 = 16 4/11

So time = 3 : 16 4/11
