Q:

The modulus of elasticity for mild steel is approximately equal to

A) 210 kN/mm2 B) 100 kN/mm2
C) 80 kN/mm2 D) 10 kN/mm2
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 210 kN/mm2

Explanation:

It is useful to have a property of a material that is independent of the size of the sample and can be use to compare its elastic properties with another - this is called the Modulus of Elasticity for the material.

The modulus of elasticity is defined as:

 

Modulus of elasticity = Stress / Strain

 

There are three types of moduli. They are :

(a) the Young Modulus - tensile and compression longitudinal stress

(b) the shear modulus - a shearing stress

(c) the bulk modulus - volume changes of the specimen.

C) 48.4 % D) 46.8 %
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 48.4 %

Explanation:

Q:

In preparing a bank reconciliation, outstanding checks are

A) Deducted from the balance sheet B) Added to the bank balance
C) Deducted from the bank balance D) Added to the balance sheet
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Deducted from the balance sheet

Explanation:

If an outstanding check of the previous month clears the bank (is paid by the bank) in the current month, you simply remove that check from the list of outstanding checks.

If an outstanding check of the previous month does not clear the bank in the current month, the check will remain on the list of outstanding checks until the month that it does clear the bank.

In the bank reconciliation process, the total amount of the outstanding checks is deducted from the balance appearing on the bank statement.

Q:

A man could buy a certain number of notebooks for Rs.300. If each notebook cost is Rs.5 more, he could have bought 10 notebooks less for the same amount. Find the price of each notebook ?

A) 15 B) 20
C) 10 D) 8
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 10

Explanation:

Let the price of each note book be Rs.x.

Let the number of note books which can be brought for Rs.300 each at a price of Rs.x be y.

Hence xy = 300

=> y = 300/x

(x + 5)(y - 10) = 300 => xy + 5y - 10x - 50 = xy

=>5(300/x) - 10x - 50 = 0 => -150+x2+5x

multiplying both sides by -1/10x

=> x2+15x-10x-150=0

=> x(x + 15) - 10(x + 15) = 0

=> x = 10 or -15

As x>0, x = 10.
