Q:

A plane is an undefined term because it

A) is a flat surface that extends indefinitely in all directions B) is where other geometric shapes can be constructed
C) is described generally, not using a formal definition D) can be named using three noncollinear points
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) is described generally, not using a formal definition

Explanation:

In geometry, we can define plane as a flat surface with no thickness.

The surface extends with no ends.

A plane does not have any edges even if we draw it on paper with edges, it does't mean it has edges.

 

Hence, A plane is an undefined term because it is described generally, not using a formal definition.

Q:

From a container of wine, a thief has stolen 15 litres of wine and replaced it with same quantity of water. He again repeated the same process. Thus, in three attempts the ratio of wine and water became 343 : 169. The initial amount of wine in the container was:

A) 75 litres B) 100 litres
C) 150 litres D) 120 litres
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 120 litres

Explanation:

wine(left)wine(added) = 343169

 

It means  wine(left)wine(initial amount) = 343512    (since 343 + 169 = 512)

  

Thus,  343x = 512x1 - 15k3

 

 343512 = 783 = 1 - 15k3

 

 1-15k=78=1-18

  

Thus the initial amount of wine was 120 liters.

Q:

A train covers 180 km distance in 5 hours. Another train covers the same distance in 1 hour less. What is the difference in the distances covered by these trains in one hour if they are moving in the same direction?

A) 15 kms B) 9 kms
C) 6 kms D) 18 kms
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 9 kms

Explanation:

The first train covers 180 kms in 5 hrs

=> Speed = 180/5 = 36 kmph

Now the second train covers the same distance in 1 hour less than the first train => 4 hrs

=> Speed of the second train = 180/4 = 45 kmph

Now, required difference in distance in 1 hour = 45 - 36 = 9 kms.
