Q:

Which of the following fraction is the largest?

A) 7/12 B) 9/16
C) 13/20 D) 32/80
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 7/12

Explanation:

Here to say which fraction is greater from the given options, the fraction with greater numerator with same denominator or smaller denominator with same numerator.

To find the greater fraction, among the given options, make the denominators same for the options by finding the LCM of all the denominators.

7/12, 9/16, 13/20, 32/80

Now, LCM of 12, 16, 20, 80 = 240.

Then,

140/240, 135/240, 156/240, 96/240

Here 

156240 > 140240 > 135240 > 96240=> 1320 > 712 > 916 > 3280

 

Hence, largest fraction = 13/20.

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.

Q:

A 200 m long train passes a motorcycler, running in the same direction at 12 km/hr, in 15 second and a jeep travelling in the same direction in 20 s. At what speed is the car travelling (length of both the motorcycler and jeep is negligible)?

A) 36 kmph B) 32 kmph
C) 29 kmph D) 24 kmph
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 24 kmph

Explanation:

Let the speed of the train be 'S' kmph

From the given data,

Distance = Length of train = D = 200 mts = 200 x 18/5 kms

Time = 10 sec

given speed of the motorcycler = 12 kmph

Relative speed as they are moving in the same direction = (S - 12) kmph

(S- 12) = 200 x 18515S - 12 = 48S = 60 kmph 

Hence, the speed of the train = S = 60 kmph

Now,

Let the speed of the jeep be 'x' kmph

60 - x = 200 x 1852060 - x = 36x = 60 - 36x = 24 kmph

 

Therefore, the speed of the jeep = x = 24 kmph.

Q:

Smallest prime number greater than 200?

A) 201 B) 205
C) 211 D) 203
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 211

Explanation:

From the trial and error method of division,

201 is divisible by 3

205 is divisible by 5

203 is divisible by 7

 

Hence, after eliminating three options, remained is 211 and is divisible by only 1 and itself. 

 

Therefore, 211 is the smallest prime number greater than 200.
