Q:

In a competitive examination, the average marks for the entire examination was 60 marks. If 20% of the applicants scored 85 marks and 25% scored 95 marks. What was the average marks of the remaining applicants in the examination ?

A) 60 B) 52
C) 45 D) 35
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 35

Explanation:

Let the total applicants be 100

 

Then, 20% got 85 marks

i.e 20 x 85 = 1700

 

and 25% got 95 marks

 i.e 25 x 95 = 2375

 

Now, the remaining applicants are 55 and let the average marks scored by them be x.

 

Therefore, 2375 + 1700 + 55x  =  60×100 

6000 - 4075 = 55x

55x=1925

x=35.

containers contain mixtures of milk and water as 1365 lit, 1560 lit and 1755 lit.

 

Biggest measure that can measure all these different quantities exactly can be given by

HCF of (1365, 1560, 1755) 

That can be found as 

 

HCF of 1365, 1755 = 195

Now, HCF of 195 and 1560 = 195

 

Hence, biggest measure that can measure all the given different quantities exactly is 195 lit.

Q:

Which best describes genetic mutations?

A) Genetic mutations that cause diseases are always passed on to offspring. B) Some inherited genetic mutations can be good for the offspring.
C) Different genetic mutations cause few forms of cancer. D) Somatic mutations can be inherited from parents or acquired during life.
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Some inherited genetic mutations can be good for the offspring.

Explanation:

Mutations are accidents in the copying of DNA. A genetic mutation is a random change in the DNA that is passed on further generations of cells and or organisms. 

 

Genetic mutations are accidental changes in the DNA in the germ cells or early in the formation of the embryo. These changes if they are in the germ cell will be passed on to other organisms formed by sexual reproduction or asexual reproduction. An example would be the golden delicious apple. A lost of genetic information due to a mutation resulted in a different color of fruit.

 

Genetic mutations that cause diseases are not always passed on to offspring.

Q:

Present ages of Deepa and Hyma are in the ratio of 5:6 respectively. After four years, this ratio becomes 6: 7. What is the difference between their present ages?

A) 6 yrs B) 4 yrs
C) 8 yrs D) 2 yrs
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 4 yrs

Explanation:

Let the present age of Deepa = 5p

Let the present age of Hyma = 6p

After four years their ratio = 6 : 7

=> 5p + 46p + 4 = 67

=> 35p + 28 = 36p + 24

=> p = 4

Therefore, the difference between their ages = 24 - 20 = 4 years.
