Q:

For xN, x>1,  and  p=logxx+1q=logx+1x+2 then which one of the following is correct?

A) p < q B) p = q
C) p > q D) can't be determined
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) p > q

Explanation:

kl>k+1l+1 for (k,l) > 0 and  k > l 

 

 

 

Let     k = x+1    and   l = x

 

 

 

Therefore, x+1x>(x+1)+1(x)+1

 

 

 

 (x + 1) > x

 

 

 

Therefore, log(x+1)log(x)>log(x+2)log(x+1)

 

 

 

logxx+1 >logx+1x+2

Q:

The output quality of a printer is measured by

A) Dots per line B) Dots printed per unit time
C) Dots per inch D) All of the above
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Dots per inch

Explanation:

DPI [Dots Per Inch] is a measurement of output quality of printer resolution. It represents number of ink dots the printer can place in an area of one square inch. The lesser the DPI the less sharper the image and vice versa.

 

Therefore, a printer that may have 400 DPI, a printer that can print 400 x 400 per square inch or 1,60,000 dots per inch.

Q:

A mixture contains 25% milk and rest water. What percent of this mixture must taken out and replaced with milk so that in mixture milk and water may become equal. 

A) 31.8% B) 31%
C) 33.33% D) 29.85%
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 33.33%

Explanation:

Now, take percentage of milk and applying mixture rule

25          100

       50

50            25  = 2 : 1

 

Hence required answer =  1/3 or 33.33%

Q:

Out of three numbers, the first is twice the second and is half of the third. If the average of the three numbers is 56, what will be the sum of the highest number and the lowest number?

A) 120 B) 160
C) 80 D) 60
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 120

Explanation:

Let the three numbers be x, y, z.

From the gien data,

x = 2y ....(1)

x = z/2 => z = 2(2y) = 4y .....(From 1)  ...........(2)

Given average of three numbers = 56

Then,

 

x + y + z3 = 562y + y + 4y3 = 56  (From 1 & 2)7y = 56 x 3y = 24

Now,

x = 2y => x = 2 x 24 = 48

z = 4y = 4 x 24 = 96

 

Now, the highest number is z = 96 & smallest number is y = 24

 

Hence, required sum of highest number and smallest number

= z + y

= 96 + 24

= 120.

Q:

A rectangular lawn of dimensions 80 m x 60 m has two roads each 10 m wide running in the middle of the lawn, one parallel to the length and the other parallel to the breadth. What is the cost of traveling the two roads at Rs.3 per sq m ?

A) Rs. 3600 B) Rs. 3800
C) Rs. 3900 D) Rs. 3700
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Rs. 3900

Explanation:

Area = (l + b – d) d

= (80 + 60 – 10)10

=> 1300 sq.mts

=> 1300 x 3 = Rs.3900

Q:

Order of basicity of amines in gaseous state?

A) 2'> 1'> 3' > NH3 B) 3' > 2' > 1'> NH3
C) 1' > 2' > 3'> NH3 D) 2'> 3'> 1' > NH3
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 3' > 2' > 1'> NH3

Explanation:

The order of basicity in ammonia is different in gaseous phases vs. aqueous phases due to hydrogen bonding.

 

So in gaseous phases it's the well known: 3' > 2' > 1'> NH3. Just so we're on the same page, this is due to the inductive effect of electron donating alkyl groups--they destabilize the lone pair on nitrogen atom, making nitrogen more basic.

 

But in aqueous phase, the order is slightly different: 2'> 1'> 3' > NH3.

Q:

Two trains are running at 40 km/hr and 20 km/hr respectively in the same direction. Fast train completely passes a man sitting in the slower train in 5 seconds. What is the length of the fast train?

A) 27 7/9 mts B) 25 8/7 mts
C) 21 1/4 mts D) 22 mts
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 27 7/9 mts

Explanation:
Relative speed = (40 - 20) km/hr = ( 20 x 5 ( m/sec = ( 50 ( m/sec.
18 9
Therefore Length of faster train = ( 50 x 5 ( m = 250 m = 27 7 m.
