Q:

Kalyan purchased a Maruti van for Rs. 1,96,000 and the rate of depreciation is 14(2/7) % per annum. Find the value of the van after two years ?

A) Rs. 1,24,000 B) Rs. 1,44,000
C) Rs. 1,32,000 D) Rs. 1,62,000
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Rs. 1,44,000

Explanation:

Value of Maruti Van, V1 = Rs. 1,96,000
Rate of depreciation, r = 14(2/7)% = 100/7%; Time, t = 2 years
Let V2 is the value after depreciation.

V2 = V11 - r100t
V2 = 196001 - 10071002

V2 = 196000(6/7)(6/7)

V2 = (196000x36)/49 = Rs. 1,44,000.

Q:

Which of the following is the strongest base?

A) LiCH3 B) LiF
C) LiOH D) LiNH2
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) LiCH3

Explanation:

The stability of the ions is determined by the energy of the lone pairs. Carbon has the least effective nuclear charge (Zeff) and so the lone pair on the CH3− ion has the highest energy, making it the least stable ion and so the strongest base. The Zeff increases as we move across the period until we get to fluorine which has the greatest Zeff and so its lone pairs have the lowest energy, making F− the least basic ion.

 

In order of decreasing basicity they are ranked LiCH3 > LiNH2 > LiOH > LiF. We are dealing with the ions F−, OH−, NH2− and CH3− and so the factor which influences their basicity is the stability of the ion compared to its conjugate acid.
