Q:

Which of the following carbohydrates is a polysaccharide?

A) Fructose B) Cellulose
C) Glucose D) Sucrose
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Cellulose

Explanation:

Carbohydrates are also called as saccharides are molecular compounds made from just three elements:

carbon, hydrogen and oxygen.

 

Carbohydrates are:

* a source of energy for the body e.g. glucose and a store of energy, e.g. starch in plants

* building blocks for polysaccharides (giant carbohydrates), e.g. cellulose in plants and glycogen in the human body

* components of other molecules eg DNA, RNA, glycolipids, glycoproteins, ATP

 

Types:

1. Monosaccharides (e.g. glucose) and

2. Disaccharides (e.g. sucrose) are relatively small molecules. They are often called sugars.

3. Other carbohydrate molecules are very large called Polysaccharides such as starch and cellulose.

Q:

Which phase change is an example of an exothermic process?

A) Liquid to Solid B) Gas to Solid
C) Gas to Liquid D) All the above
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) All the above

Explanation:

Processes that require or give off heat will be limited to changes of state, known as phase changes, and changes in chemical constitution, or chemical reactions. Changes of state involve a solid melting, a liquid freezing, a liquid boiling or a gas condensing.

 

An exothermic process is one that gives off heat, which is transferred to the surroundings. An endothermic process is a reaction which heat has to be supplied to the system from the surroundings.

 

Here in all the given options, heat is taken away from them to change there phase. 

Liquid to Solid --- Freezing

Gas to Liquid --- Condensation

Gas to Solid --- Deposition 

are all examples of exothermic processes.

Q:

Dry ice is an example of which process

A) Condensation B) Evaporation
C) Sublimation D) Freezing
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Sublimation

Explanation:

Sublimation is a process when a solid changes directly into gas instead changing into liquid first. Dry ice is an example of Sublimation process because it doesn't change into liquid CO2 and directly change into gaseous CO2 when heated.

 

Hence, Dry ice is an example of Sublimation process.

Q:

Simplify

39.96% of 649.85 ÷13.07 = 45.14 - ?

A) 25 B) 26
C) 27 D) 28
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 25

Explanation:

This can be easily simplified by Approximation process

Given 39.96% of 649.85 ÷13.07 = 45.14 - ? can be written as 

40% of 650 ÷13 = 45 - ?

 

40 x 65010013 = 45 - ?? = 45 - 20? = 25.

Q:

A,B,C can complete a work in 15,20 and 30 respectively.They all work together for two days then A leave the work,B and C work some days and B leaves 2 days before completion of that work.how many days required to complete the whole work?

Answer

Given A,B,C can complete a work in 15,20 and 30 respectively.


The total work is given by the LCM of 15, 20, 30 i.e, 60.


A's 1 day work = 60/15 = 4 units


B's 1 day work = 60/20 = 3 units


C's 1 day work = 60/30 = 2 units


(A + B + C) worked for 2 days = (4 + 3 + 2) 2 = 18 units


 Let B + C worked for x days = (3 + 2) x = 5x units


C worked for 2 days = 2 x 2 = 4 units


Then, 18 + 5x + 4 = 60


22 + 5x = 60


5x = 38


x = 7.6


 


Therefore, total number of days taken to complete the work = 2 + 7.6 + 2 = 11.6 = 11 3/5 days.
