Q:

The concentration of glucose in three different mixtures (glucose and alcohol) is 12,35 and 45 respectively. If 2 litres, 3 litres and 1 litre are taken from these three different vessels and mixed. What is the ratio of glucose and alcohol in the new mixture? 

A) 3:2 B) 4:3
C) 2:3 D) 3:4
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 3:2

Explanation:

Concentration of glucose are in the ratio = 12:35:45

Quantity of glucose taken from A = 1 liter out of 2

Quantity of glucose taken from B = 3/5 x 3 = 1.5 lit

Quantity of glucose taken from C = 0.8 lit

So, total quantity of glucose taken from A,B and C = 3.6 lit

So, quantity of alcohol = (2 + 3 + 1) - 3.6 = 2.4 lit

Ratio of glucose to alcohol = 3.6/2.4 = 3:2

Q:

If the labour cost 20% of the cost of production and raw material cost 10% of the cost of production and the price on which article is sold is 20% above the cost of production. If the price of labour is increased by 40% and the price of raw material increased by 20% and rest other expenditure of cost remain constant. The industry thus decide to increase the selling price by 10%. Find the new profit percent  ?

A) 18% B) 20%
C) 22% D) 24%
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 20%

Explanation:

Let the Cost of Production of the article = 100

Then, Labour Cost = 20

Raw Material = 10

Other Expenditure = 100 - 10 – 20 = 70

Selling Price of the article  = 120

After increasing Labour and Raw material cost by 40% & 20% respectively,

New Labour cost = 28

New Raw material cost = 12

New Cost of Production = 70 + 28 + 12 = 110

Then, New SP = 110% of 120 = 120 x 110/100 = 132

=> New Gain = 132 - 110 = 22

=> New Profit % = 22 x 100/110 = 20%

Q:

Rajitha invested 25% more than Santhosh. Santhosh invested 30% less than Raju, who invested Rs. 6,000. What is the ratio of the amount that Rajitha invested to the total amount invested by all of them together ?

A) 25 : 114 B) 35 : 103
C) 15 : 108 D) 41 : 94
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 35 : 103

Explanation:

Santhosh's investment = 6000 x 70/100 = Rs.4200
Rajitha's investment = 4200 x 5/4 = Rs.5250
Therefore, total amount invested = 6000 + 4200 + 5250 = Rs.15450.
Required ratio = 5250 : 15450 = 35 : 103.

Q:

What is the first step in the refining of petroleum?

A) Distillation B) Cooling
C) Drilling D) Cracking
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Distillation

Explanation:

The first step in the refining of petroleum is distillation i.e,  the fractionation of crude oil in atmospheric and vacuum distillation towers.

The first process petroleum refinery is known as distillation. In this process, crude oil is heated and fed into a distillation column. As the temperature of the crude oil in the distillation column rises, the crude oil separates itself into different components, called "fractions." The fractions are then captured separately. Each fraction corresponds to a different type of petroleum product, depending on the temperature at which that fraction boils off the crude oil mixture.

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 4

Explanation:

Let the required number be 'N'

given that its quarter i.e; N/4 exceeds its double i.e, 2N by 7

=> N/4 + 7 = 2N

=> N + 28 = 8N

7N = 28

N = 4.

Q:

Resistance of human body in dry condition

A) 10 ohm B) 1000 ohm
C) 10000 ohm D) 100000 ohm
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 100000 ohm

Explanation:

Under dry conditions, the resistance offered by the human body may be as high as 100,000(10^5) Ohms.

 

Depending on the person, a rough value for the internal resistance of the human body is 300-1,000 Ohms. The skin's resistance is much lower if it is wet or burnt/blistered.



There are a lot of factors involved and not every person has the same electrical resistance. For instance, men tend to have lower resistance than women.

Within the body, the tissues with the greatest resistance are bone and fat - nerves and muscle have the least resistance.
