Which solution is most concentrated?

A) 6 g of solute in 10 ml of solution B) 20.5 g of solute in 50 ml of solution
C) 30 g of solute in 120 ml of solution D) 2.6 g of solute in 2 ml of solution
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 2.6 g of solute in 2 ml of solution

Explanation:

A concentrated solution will contain the most solute molecules per solvent molecules.

Here in the given options,

1)  6/10 = 0.6

2) 20.5/50 = 0.41

3) 30/120 = 0.25

4) 2.6/2 = 1.3

Q:

How many 6-digit even numbers can be formed from the digits 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 so that the digits should not repeat and the second last digit is even ?

A) 521 B) 720
C) 420 D) 225
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 720

Explanation:

Let last digit is 2
when second last digit is 4 remaining 4 digits can be filled in 120 ways, similarly second last digit is 6 remained 4 digits can be filled in 120 ways.
so for last digit = 2, total numbers=240

 

Similarly for 4 and 6
When last digit = 4, total no. of ways =240
and last digit = 6, total no. of ways =240
so total of 720 even numbers are possible.

Q:

A train covers a distance between station A and station B in 45 min.If the speed of the train is reduced by 5 km/hr,then the same distance is covered in 48 min.what is the distance between the stations A and B ?

A) 80 kms B) 60 kms
C) 45 kms D) 32 kms
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 60 kms

Explanation:

Let 'd' be the distance and 's' be the speed and 't' be the time
d=sxt
45 mins = 3/4 hr and 48 mins = 4/5 hr
As distance is same in both cases;
s(3/4) = (s-5)(4/5)
3s/4 = (4s-20)/5
15s = 16s-80
s = 80 km.
=> d = 80 x 3/4 = 60 kms.

Q:

NH3 oxidation number?

A) -1 B) +1
C) 0 D) -3
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 0

Explanation:

NH3, Ammonia is a neutral compound as the individual oxidation numbers elements that make up the compound NH3 are Nitrogen (N) and Hydrogen (H) sum to zero. 

We do not speak of the oxidation number of a molecule. We can speak of the oxidation numbers of the individual elements that make up the compound.

 

Here the oxidation number of Nirogen is -3 and that of Hydrogen is +1.

Now, NH3 = 1(-3) + 3(+1) = -3 + 3 = 0.

Q:

If x and y are the two digits of the number 653xy such that this number is divisible by 80, then x+y is equal to  ?

A) 5 B) 4
C) 3 D) 2
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 2

Explanation:

Since 653xy is divisible by 5 as well as 2, so y = 0.
Now, 653x0 must be divisible by 8.
So, 3x0 must be divisible by 8. This happens when x = 2
x + y = (2 + 0) = 2.

Q:

If two dice are thrown together, the probability of getting an even number on one die and an odd number on the other is  ?

A) 1 B) 1/2
C) 0 D) 3/5
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 1/2

Explanation:

The number of exhaustive outcomes is 36.
Let E be the event of getting an even number on one die and an odd number on the other. Let the event of getting either both even or both odd then = 18/36 = 1/2
P(E) = 1 - 1/2 = 1/2.
