Q:

The difference between the squares of two consecutive odd integers is always divisible by ?

A) 8 B) 2
C) 6 D) 4
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 8

Explanation:

Let the two consecutive odd integers be (2x + 1) and (2x + 3)

Then,

(2x + 3)2 - (2x + 1)2

= (2x + 3 + 2x + 1) (2x + 3 - 2x - 1)

= (4x + 4)(2)
= 8 (x + 1), which is always divisible by 8

Q:

How many numbers with distinct digits are possible product of whose digits is 18?

A) 12 B) 8
C) 6 D) 4
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 8

Explanation:

Two digit numbers: The two digits can be 2 and 9: Two possibilities 29 and 92.

Three-digit numbers: The three digits can be 1, 2 and 9 => 3! Or 6 possibilities.

We cannot have three digits as (3, 3, 2) as the digits have to be distinct.

We cannot have numbers with 4 digits or more without repeating the digits.

So, there are totally 8 numbers.

Q:

5 sin(x)+ 12 cos(x) + r is always greater than or equal to zero. What is the smallest value satisfied by 'r' ?

A) -13 B) 11
C) 13 D) -11
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 13

Explanation:

Given,

 5sinx + 12cosx ≥ -r 

13513sin x + 1213cos x  -rcosx) ≥ -r 

513= cosA => sinA =1213

 

=> 13(sinx cosA + sinA cosx) ≥ -r

 

=> 13(sin(x + A)) ≥ -r

 

we know that , -1 ≤ sin (angle) ≤ 1

 

=> 13sin (x + A) ≥ -13 rmin =13

Q:

How many iron rods, each of length 7 mts and diameter 2 cms can be made out of 0.88 cubic metre of iron ?

A) 500 B) 600
C) 400 D) 300
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 400

Explanation:

Given length of iron rod =7 mts and  and diameter of rod = 2 cms 

=> r = 1/100 mts

Therefore,  Volume of one rod = πr2h cu. m =  227×11002×7cu. m = 115000 cu. m

Given volume of iron = 0.88 cu. m 

Therefore, Number of rods = 0.88×500011 = 400.

Q:

Find the ratio of the areas of the incircle and circumcircle of a square ?

A) 1 : 4 B) 4 : 1
C) 2 : 1 D) 1 : 2
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 1 : 2

Explanation:

Let the side of the square be x. Then, its diagonal = 2x.  

 

Radius of incircle = x/2  and radius of circumcircle =2x2 . k11482389216.png image

Therefore, required ratio = πx24:πx22 = 14:12=1:2
