Q:

Rotate : Energy :: Stop : ?

A) Spin B) Break
C) Inertia D) None
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Inertia

Explanation:

To rotate is to energy to stop is to inertia. From the definition itself we know that inertia is a property by virtue of which a body continues to be in the state of rest or in state of motion. So over here whenever energy is supplied then the body starts to move that is a displacement is there and it is rotating where as whenever the body is stopped an inertia of rest is created.

 

So, Rotate : Energy :: Stop : Inertia.

Q:

In a town of 500 people, 285 read Hindu and 212 read Indian Express and 127 read Times of India, 20 read Hindu and Times of India and 29 read Hindu and Indian Express and 35 read Times of India and Indian express . 50 read no news paper . Then how many read only one paper ?

A) 123 B) 231
C) 312 D) 321
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 321

Explanation:

No. of people who read Hindu = 285
No. of people who read TOI = 127
No. of people who read IE = 212
Now,
No. of people who read Hindu and TOI both is = 20
No. of people who read TOI and IE both is = 35
No. of people who read Hindu and IE both is = 29
Let No. of people who read Hindu , TOI and IE all is = x ;
So, only Hindu is = 285-20-29-x = 236-x ;
Only TOI is = 127-20-35-x = 72-x ;
Only IE is = 212-35-29-x = 148-x ;
Now, 236-x + 72-x + 148-x + 20 + 29 + 35 + x + 50 = 500 590 -2x = 500
So, x = 45 this is the value who read all the 3 dailies.
So, No. of people who read only one paper is = 236-45 + 72-45 + 148-45 = 191 + 27 + 103 = 321.
