Q:

Why are viruses considered to be nonliving?

A) Viruses have no metabolic activity. B) Viruses don't have any cells, like living organisms.
C) Viruses can't produce new proteins, DNA, or RNA. D) All the above
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) All the above

Explanation:

Viruses are responsible for some of the most dangerous and deadly diseases including influenza, ebola, rabies and smallpox.

Despite their potential to kill, these potent pathogens are in fact considered to be non-living.

 

Reasons:

1. Viruses don't have any cells, like living organisms do. They have protein coats but no organelles or other cellular machinery. Just a little DNA packet.

2. Viruses can't produce new proteins, DNA, or RNA and therefore are unable to reproduce on their own. They need infected cells' machinery to make all of these and produce new virons.

3. Viruses have no metabolic activity. They don't use or convert energy and have no ongoing interior processes. They're basically just inert structures until they impact a potential host cell.

Q:

A sum is equally invested in two different schemes on CI at the rate of 15% and 20% for two years. If interest gained from the sum invested at 20% is Rs. 528.75 more than the sum invested at 15%, find the total sum?

A) Rs. 7000 B) Rs. 4500
C) Rs. 9000 D) Rs. 8200
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Rs. 9000

Explanation:

Let Rs. K invested in each scheme

Two years C.I on 20% = 20 + 20 + 20x20/100 = 44%

Two years C.I on 15% = 15 + 15 + 15x15/100 = 32.25%

Now,

(P x 44/100) - (P x 32.25/100) = 528.75

=> 11.75 P = 52875

=> P = Rs. 4500

 

Hence, total invested money = P + P = 4500 + 4500 = Rs. 9000.

Solve this MathPuzzle if you can?

num11515666627.jpg image

Answer

Let the required number be 'X'


Condition 1 :  


XX = 2X  => 2X2 = X => X = 12


 


Condition 2 :


X × X = X2=> X = 12


 


Therefore, 12 is the number which becomes double when it is divided by itself and becomes half when it is multiplied by itself.

Q:

The difference of two numbers is 1365. On dividing the larger number by the smaller, we get 6 as quotient and 15 as remainder. What is the smaller number  ?

A) 270 B) 1270
C) 350 D) 720
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 270

Explanation:

Let the smallest number be x.
Then larger number = (x + 1365)
x + 1365 = 6x + 15
= 5x = 1350
x = 270
Smaller number = 270.

Q:

Can you Solve the Problem ?

SOLVE1500443612.jpg image

Answer

Let the two digits be x & y


From given data in the question, we get


x + y = 3(x - y)


x + y = 3x - 3y


=> 2x = 4y


x/y = 2/1


For having the 2:1, numbers satisfying are


12, 21, 24, 42, 36, 63, 48, 84


From this 36 is eleminated because it is a perfect square and no others are prime or perfect squares.


Hence, there exists 7 such 2-digit numbers => 12, 21, 24, 42, 63, 48, 84.
