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.

Q:

A university library budget committee must reduce exactly five of eight areas of expenditure—I, J, K, L, M, N, O and P—in accordance with the following conditions:

If both I and O are reduced, P is also reduced.
If L is reduced, neither N nor O is reduced.
If M is reduced, J is not reduced.
Of the three areas J, K, and N exactly two are reduced.

 

Question :

If both K and N are reduced, which one of the following is a pair of areas neither of which could be reduced?

A) I, L B) J, L
C) J, M D) I, J
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) J, L

Explanation:

This question concerns a committee’s decision about which five of eight areas of expenditure to reduce. The question requires you to suppose that K and N are among the areas that are to be reduced, and then to determine which pair of areas could not also be among the five areas that are reduced.

The fourth condition given in the passage on which this question is based requires that exactly two of K, N, and J are reduced. Since the question asks us to suppose that both K and N are reduced, we know that J must not be reduced:

Reduced         ::      K, N
Not reduced   ::      J

The second condition requires that if L is reduced, neither N nor O is reduced. So L and N cannot both be reduced. Here, since N is reduced, we know that L cannot be. Thus, adding this to what we’ve determined so far, we know that J and L are a pair of areas that cannot both be reduced if both K and N are reduced:

Reduced        ::      K, N
Not reduced  ::      J, L

Answer choice (B) is therefore the correct answer.

Q:

A train for Fathehpur leaves for every 2 hrs 30 min from Agra station. An announcement was made that train left 37 mins ago and next train comes at 17:00hrs. At what time was the announcement made ? 

A) 15:07 hrs B) 15:20 hrs
C) 15:05 hrs D) 15:00 hrs
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 15:07 hrs

Explanation:

Next train comes at 17:00 hrs.
So, last train will be = 17:00hrs - 2:30hrs
= 14:30hrs
Announcement made after 37 min of the last train.
S0, 14:30hrs + 00:37 min
= 15:07 hrs.

Q:

Plants synthesis protein from

A) amino acids B) starch
C) fatty acids D) sugar
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) amino acids

Explanation:

We know that, proteins are polymers of amino acids. So, plants are also used to synthesise protein from amino acids. Hence, plants synthesis protein from amino acids in the presence of ATP by specific synthetases.

Q:

50 men can build a tank in 40days, but though they begin the work together, 5 men quit every ten days. The time needed to build the tank is ?

A) 50 days B) 48 days
C) 47.5 days D) 49 days
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 50 days

Explanation:

50 men can build a tank in 40 days 

Assume 1 man does 1 unit of work in 1 day

Then the total work is 50×40 = 2000 units

 

50 men work in the first 10 days and completes 50×10 = 500 units of work

45 men work in the next 10 days and completes 45×10 = 450 units of work

40 men work in the next 10 days and completes 40×10 = 400 units of work

35 men work in the next 10 days and completes 35×10 = 350 units of work

So far 500 + 450 + 400 + 350 = 1700 units of work is completed and

 

Remaining work is 2000 - 1700 = 300 units

 

30 men work in the next 10 days. In each day, they does 30 units of work.

 

Therefore, additional days required = 300/30 =10

 

Thus, total 10+10+10+10+10 = 50 days required.

Q:

The circumferences of two circles are 264 meters and 352 meters. Find the difference between the areas of the larger and the smaller circles  ?

A) 2413 sq.m B) 1234 sq.m
C) 4312 sq.m D) 2143 sq.m
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 4312 sq.m

Explanation:

Let the radii of the smaller and the larger circles be 's' m and 'l' m respectively.  

 2πs = 264 and 2πl = 352  

 

 s = 2642π and l = 3522π   

Difference between the areas =πl2-πs2   

  = π1762π2-1322π2 

  = 1762π-1322π  

  = (176 - 132)(176 + 132) / π  

  = (44 x 308) / (22/7) = 4312 sq.m
