Q:

Namitha sold a powerbank which is at the cost of Rs. 1950 at a loss of 25%. Find at what cost will she have to sell it to get a profit of 25%?

A) Rs. 3680 B) Rs. 3560
C) Rs. 3320 D) Rs. 3250
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Rs. 3250

Explanation:

Let the Cost price of the powerbank = Rs. P

But given that by selling it at Rs. 1950, it gives a loss of 25%

=> P x 75100 = 1950
=>P = 1950 x 10075 = Rs. 2600
Now, to get a profit of 25%

Selling Price = 2600 x 125100 = Rs. 3250.

Q:

Metals are good conductors of electricity because

A) The atoms are lightly packed B) They contain free electrons
C) They have high melting point D) All the above
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) They contain free electrons

Explanation:

Metal particles are held together by strong metallic bonds, which is why they have high melting and boiling points. The free electrons in metals can move through the metal, allowing metals to conduct electricity.

Because the electrons in the atom's higher energy levels can separate from the atoms easily, they can be pulled out with very little energy. Because the molecular structure of the metal is such that 'free electrons' are free to move, thus being categorized as electrically conductive.

 

For example, copper is used for electrical wiring because it is a good conductor of electricity.

Q:

100 percent of which number is 20?

A) 100 B) 500
C) 20 D) 0
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 20

Explanation:

Let the rquired number be 'P'

According to the question,

100 x P100 = 20=> P = 20 x 100100 = 20

Hence, 100 percent of the number 20 is 20.

 

Now, you can also try for

20 percent of what number is 100

20 x P100 = 100=> P = 100 x 10020 = 500=> P = 500

Hence, 20 percent of the number 500 is 100.

Q:

Manju borrows Rs.5000 for 2 years at 4% p.a. simple interest from Sudha. She immediately lends it to another person at 6 1⁄4% p.a for 2 years. Find her gain in the transaction per year.

A) Rs. 101 B) Rs. 98.5
C) Rs. 124.3 D) Rs. 112.5
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Rs. 112.5

Explanation:

Manju borrows Rs. 5000 for 2 years at 4% p.a. simple interest 

She also lends it at 6 1⁄4% p.a for 2 years 

=> Total Gain = 6 1/4% − 4% = 2 1/4%

So her gain in the transaction for 1 year

= The simple interest she gets for Rs.5000 for 1 year at 2 1⁄4% per annum

PTR100=5000×94×1100 = Rs. 112.5/ year.

Q:

India’s longest bridge “Dhola-Sadia Bridge” has built over which tributary of the Brahmaputra River ?

A) Kameng River B) Lohit River
C) Subansiri River D) Manas River
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Lohit River

Explanation:

The Prime Minister Narendra Modi has inaugurated India’s longest bridge “Dhola-Sadia Bridge” in Assam on May 26, 2017. This three lane, 9.15 kilometre bridge has been built over river Lohit, a tributary of the Brahmaputra river. It links Dhola in Assam to Sadia. The bridge will reduce the distance from Rupai on NH- 37 in Assam to Meka-Roing on NH-52 in Arunachal Pradesh by 165 KM. The travel time between the two places will come down from the current six hours to just one hour, a total five hour reduction. This will result in saving of petrol and diesel worth Rs 10 Lakh per day. It will also cater to the strategic requirements of the country in the border areas of Arunachal Pradesh, besides facilitating numerous hydro power projects coming up in the state.
