Q:

In which atmospheric layer are the communication satellites located?

A) Thermosphere B) Troposphere
C) Mesosphere D) Stratosphere
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Thermosphere

Explanation:

In terms of the Earth's atmosphere, they occupy regions called the thermosphere and the exosphere. The layer through which a satellite orbits depends on the satellite's function and the kind of orbit it has.

 

The thermosphere is a region of very high temperature that extends from the top of the mesosphere at around 85 kilometers (53 miles) up to 640 kilometers (400 miles) above the Earth's surface. It is called the thermosphere because temperatures can reach up to 1,500 degrees Celsius (2,732 degrees Fahrenheit).

 

However, despite the high temperatures, the pressure is very low, so satellites don't suffer heat damage.

Q:

The length, breadth and height of a room are in the ratio 7:3:1. If the breadth and height are doubled while the length is halved, then by what percent the total area of the 4 walls of the room will be increased  ?

A) 90% B) 88%
C) 85% D) 84%
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 90%

Explanation:

Let length, breadth and height of the room be 7, 3, 1 unit respectively.

Area of walls = 2(l+b)xh = 2(7+3)x1 = 20 sq. unit.

Now, length, breadth and height of room will become 3.5, 6 and 2 respectively. 

Area of walls = 2(l+b)xh = 2(3.5+6)x2 = 38 sq. unit. 

% Increase in the area of walls = (38-20)x100/20 = 90%.

A) Son-in-law B) Grand father
C) Father-in-law D) Brother

C) 969 D) 966
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 969

Explanation:

1 + 1 = 121 = 1x1 1+1 1x1

1 + 2 = 134 = 1x1 1+2 2x2

2 + 2 = 444 = 2x2 2+2 2x2

3 + 2 = 954 = 3x3 3+2 2x2

3 + 3 = ?   

Similarly, 3x3 3+3 3x3 = 969

Q:

In a daily morning walk three persons step off together. their steps measure 75 cm, 80 cm and 85 cm respectively. What is the minimum distance each should walk so that thay can cover the distance in complete steps  ?

A) 222 m 44 cm B) 204 m
C) 201 m 21 cm D) 208 m
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 204 m

Explanation:

To find the minimum distance, we have to get the LCM of 75, 80, 85

Now, LCM of 75, 80, 85 = 5 x 15 x 16 x 17 = 20400

Hence, the minimum distance each should walk so that thay can cover the distance in complete steps = 20400 cms = 20400/100 = 204 mts.

Q:

Manju borrows Rs.5000 for 2 years at 4% p.a. simple interest from Sudha. She immediately lends it to another person at 6 1⁄4% p.a for 2 years. Find her gain in the transaction per year.

A) Rs. 101 B) Rs. 98.5
C) Rs. 124.3 D) Rs. 112.5
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Rs. 112.5

Explanation:

Manju borrows Rs. 5000 for 2 years at 4% p.a. simple interest 

She also lends it at 6 1⁄4% p.a for 2 years 

=> Total Gain = 6 1/4% − 4% = 2 1/4%

So her gain in the transaction for 1 year

= The simple interest she gets for Rs.5000 for 1 year at 2 1⁄4% per annum

PTR100=5000×94×1100 = Rs. 112.5/ year.
