A) South-East B) North-East
C) South-West D) North-West
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) North-East

Explanation:

Starting From his house, Sumanth walks 200 feet straight towards North; we can write it as N200. Similarly, the other distances and directions can be considered and written as follows : (Notice that he covers 300 yards towards East; one yard = 3 feet and hence 300 yards = 900 feet)

 N200S100E900 Adding all south and all North distances and finding the net result, and also adding all East and all West distances and finding the net result, this can further be summarized as : N100E900

 Thus, the direction from his original position is North-East.

Q:

A ball is thrown vertically upward from the ground. It crosses a point at the height of 25 m twice at an interval of 4 seconds. The ball was thrown with the velocity of

A) 18 m/s B) 25 m/s
C) 30 m/s D) 36 m/s
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 30 m/s

Explanation:

The interval between object pass the same point is 4 sec.

That means in 2 sec, object reaches the top and in next 2 sec, it again reaches the same point.

By the info given, we can find the velocity of that point by using : v=u+(-gt)

0= u - 10×2

u = 20

Then the velocity at 25m is 20m/sec.

so the initial velocity is


-v2 = u2 + (-2gh)400 = u2 - 2x 10 x 25u2 = 900 => u = 30 m/s

Q:

Sripad has scored average of 65 marks in three objects. In no subjects has he secured less than 58 marks. He has secured more marks in Maths than other two subjects. What could be his maximum score in Maths ?

A) 79 B) 77
C) 76 D) 73
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 79

Explanation:

Assuming Sripad has scored the least marks in subject other than science,
Then the marks he could secure in other two are 58 each.
Since the average mark of all the 3 subject is 65.
i.e (58+58+x)/3 = 65
116 + x = 195
x = 79 marks.

Therefore, the maximum marks he can score in maths is 79.

Q:

A earns 50% of B's salary, B earns 80% of C's salary. If the total earnings for a month is Rs. 22000, then what is the earning for A ?

A) Rs. 4000 B) Rs. 4200
C) Rs. 4400 D) Rs. 4600
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Rs. 4000

Explanation:

Let C's salary be Rs. x

Then B's salary = 80x/100

=> A's salary = (50/100) * (80x/100) = 40x/100

But given total earnings in a month = 22000

=> x + 80x/100 + 40x/100 = 22000

=> x + 120x/100 = 22000

=> x = 10000

=> A's salary = 40 x 10000/100 = Rs. 4000
