A kiddy bank of a child contains all Rs. 1, 50 paise and 25 paise coins. What is the total amount in the bank ?
(1) Total number of coins are 20
(2) The number of 50 paise and 25 paise coins are in the ratio of 7:3.

A) only 1 is needed B) only 1 is needed
C) Both and 2 are needed D) None
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Both and 2 are needed

Explanation:

Given that 50 paise and 25 paise coins are in the ratio of 7:3, they can be either 7 & 3 or 14 & 6.
As total 20 coins also includes Rs. 1 coins, so 50 paise & 25 paise coins are 7 & 3 respectively & Rs. 1 coins are 10.
Total amount = (100x10) + (50x7) + (25x3)=1425 paise or Rs.14.25.

Q:

The carbon tetrachloride molecule (CCl4) is

A) a nonpolar molecule with polar bonds B) a nonpolar molecule with nonpolar bonds
C) a polar molecule with polar bonds D) a polar molecule with nonploar bonds
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) a nonpolar molecule with polar bonds

Explanation:

The four bonds of carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) are polar, but the molecule is nonpolar because the bond polarity is cancelled by the symmetric tetrahedral shape. Hence, making the net dipole as zero and molecule as non-polar.

 

When other atoms substitute for some of the Cl atoms, the symmetry is broken and the molecule becomes polar.

bar_g1527828671.jpg image

Question 1)  Find the average no. of chairs produced by Raj Kamal in the years 2004, 2006 and 2007 together.

 

Question 2)  What is the ratio of no. of chairs produced by Neel Kamal in the years 2007 and 2008 together to that by Raj Kamal in the same years together?

 

Question 3)  If 12% chairs out of total chairs produced in the year 2008 were defective and in them ratio of defective chairs by Raj Kamal and Neel Kamal is 2 : 3 then find the no. of defective chairs produced by Neel Kamal in the year 2008.

Answer

Answer 1)  


1/3 x (54 x 150 + 60 x 300 + 36 x 450)


= 1/3 x 42300


= 14100.


 


Answer 2)


Required ratio of chairs = 64 x 450 + 56 x 50036 x 450 + 44 x 500


= 56800/38200


= 284/191.


 


Answer 3)


 


Required number of chairs =  35 x 12100 x 50000
= 3600.
