Q:

Sony is one-fifth the age of her mother 15 years ago and Sony’s brother is three-fifth the age of his mother 10 years ago. If the sum of Sony and her brother’s ages is 31 then how old is Sony's mother ? 

A) 40 B) 50
C) 60 D) 70
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 50

Explanation:

Sony and her brother's age sum is 31
Let Sony's mother's age be 'x'.
Now the conditions given for both of their ages related to their mom is
1/5(x-15) + 3/5(x-10) = 31
x-15 + 3x-30 = 155
4x-45 = 155
4x = 200
x = 50
So, Mother's age = 50.

Cross verification : 15 years ago age = 35 => Sony age = 7
10 years ago age = 40 => bro age = 24

Sum = 24 + 7 = 31.

Q:

A is two years older than B who is twice as old as C. If the total of the ages of A, B and C be 27, then how old is B ?

A) 10 yrs B) 11 yrs
C) 12 yrs D) 13 yrs
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 10 yrs

Explanation:

Let C's age be x years.
Then, B's age = 2x years.
A's age = (2x + 2) years.
(2x + 2) + 2x + x = 27
5x = 25 => x = 5
Hence, B's age = 2x = 10 years.

Q:

R enter into a partnership in the ratio 2 : 3 : 5 . After 2 months, P increases his share 20% and Q by 10%. If the total profit at the end of one year is Rs 1,90,500, what amount will 'R' receive at the end of year as share in profit ?

A) Rs. 90500 B) Rs. 87500
C) Rs. 88900 D) Rs. 90000
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Rs. 90000

Explanation:

Ratio of investments for 1 year

=> (P : Q : R) = (2x2 + 2.4x10) : (3x2 + 3.3x10) : (5x12)

=> (P : Q : R) = 28 : 39 : 60

Now R share = 190500 x 60/127 = Rs. 90000.

Deoxyribose, which is a pentose, and a phosphate group are the two molecules together form the two sides of the DNA i.e, A sugar (deoxyribose) and a phosphate.

DNA is a double-stranded molecule twisted into a helix (think of a spiral staircase). Each spiraling strand, comprised of a sugar-phosphate backbone and attached bases, is connected to a complementary strand by non-covalent hydrogen bonding between paired bases. The bases are adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C) and guanine (G). A and T are connected by two hydrogen bonds. G and C are connected by three hydrogen bonds.

Q:

The Ankle is a third-class lever.

A) TRUE B) FALSE
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) FALSE

Explanation:

False. The ankle is not the third-class lever in the body.


 


Levers are typically labeled as first class, second class, or third class. All three types are found in the body, but most levers in the human body are third class.

First-class levers in the human body are rare and have the axis (fulcrum) located between the weight (resistance) and the force. One example is the joint between the head and the first vertebra.


In a second-class lever, the weight (resistance) is located between the axis (fulcrum) and the force. An example of a second-class lever in the human body is found in the lower leg when someone stands on tiptoes


In a third-class lever, the most common in the human body, force is applied between the resistance (weight) and the axis (fulcrum). There are numerous third-class levers in the human body; one example can be illustrated in the elbow joint.

Q:

Mr. Gupta borrowed a sum of money on compound interest. What will be the amount to
be repaid if he is repaying the entire amount at the end of 2 years?
I. The rate of interest is 5 p.c.p.a.
II. Simple interest fetched on the same amount in one year is Rs. 600.
III. The amount borrowed is 10 times the simple interest in 2 years.

A) .I only B) III only
C) I or II D) II and Either I or III only
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) II and Either I or III only

Explanation:

   I. gives, Rate = 5% p.a.

 

 II. gives, S.I. for 1 year = Rs. 600.

 

III. gives, sum = 10 x (S.I. for 2 years).

 


 Now I, and II give the sum.


 For this sum, C.I. and hence amount can be obtained.


 Thus, III is redundant.


 Again, II gives S.I. for 2 years = Rs. (600 x 2) = Rs. 1200.


 Now, from III, Sum = Rs. (10 x 1200) = Rs . 12000.


Thus,Rate =100*12002*12000 =5%


Thus, C.I. for 2 years and therefore, amount can be obtained.


Thus, I is redundant.



Hence, I or III redundan
