Q:

 What is the greatest of 3 consecutive integers whose sum is 24 ?

A) 6 B) 7
C) 8 D) 9
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 9

Explanation:

The sum of three consecutive integers can be written as n + (n + 1) + (n + 2) = 3n + 3

If the sum is 24, we need to solve the equation 3n + 3 = 24;

=> 3n = 21;

=> n = 7

The greatest of the three numbers is therefore 7 + 2 = 9

Q:

P is faster than Q. P and Q each walk 24 km. The sum of their speeds is 7 km/hr and the sum of times taken by them is 14 hours. Then, P's speed is equal to ?

A) 3 km/hr B) 4 km/hr
C) 5 km/hr D) 6 km/hr
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 4 km/hr

Explanation:

Let P's speed = x km/hr. Then, Q's speed = (7 - x) km/ hr.

 

So, 24/x + 24/(7 - x) = 14

 

x2 - 98x + 168 = 0

 

(x - 3)(x - 4) = 0 => x = 3 or 4.

 

Since, P is faster than Q,

 

so P's speed = 4 km/hr and Q's speed = 3 km/hr.

Q:

Which combination of atoms can form a polar covalent bond?

A) H and Br B) H and H
C) Na and Br D) N and N
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) H and Br

Explanation:

Only H and Br form Polar Covalent Bond.

 

Covalent bonding:

Covalent bonding occurs when pairs of electrons are shared by atoms. Atoms will covalently bond with other atoms in order to gain more stability, which is gained by forming a full electron shell. By sharing their outer most (valence) electrons, atoms can fill up their outer electron shell and gain stability.

1. Polar Covalent Bond

2. Nonpolar Covalent Bond

 

1. Polar Covalent Bond:

A Polar Covalent Bond is created when the shared electrons between atoms are not equally shared. This occurs when one atom has a higher electronegativity than the atom it is sharing with. The atom with the higher electronegativity will have a stronger pull for electrons (Similiar to a Tug-O-War game, whoever is stronger usually wins). As a result, the shared electrons will be closer to the atom with the higher electronegativity, making it unequally shared.

 

2. Nonpolar Covalent Bond:

A Nonpolar Covalent Bond is created when atoms share their electrons equally. This usually occurs when two atoms have similar or the same electron affinity. The closer the values of their electron affinity, the stronger the attraction. This occurs in gas molecules; also known as diatomic elements. Nonpolar covalent bonds have a similar concept as polar covalent bonds; the atom with the higher electronegativity will draw away the electron from the weaker one.

 

Here H and H and N and N form Non-polar covalent bonds. Na and Br form the ionic bond.

Q:

Second & fourth Saturdays and every Sunday is a holiday. How many working days will be there in a month of 31 days beginning on a Friday ?

A) 24 B) 23
C) 22 D) 25
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 24

Explanation:

Given that the month begins on a Friday and has 31 days

 

Sundays = 3rd, 10th, 17th, 24th, 31st
=> Total Sundays = 5

 

Every second & fourth Saturday is holiday.
2nd & 4th Saturday in every month = 2

 

Total days in the month = 31

 

Total working days = 31 - (5 + 2) = 24 days.
