Q:

When the price of whear was increased by 32%, a family reduced its consumption in such a way that the expenditure on wheat was only 10% more than before. If 30 kg per month were consumed before, find the new monthly consumption of family?

A) 27 kgs B) 25 kgs
C) 24 kgs D) 21 kgs
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 25 kgs

Explanation:

Initial wheat per kg cost be Rs. 100

Then, monthly expenditure of the family = 30 x 100 = 3000

After increase in cost,

Let P be new monthly consumption of family.

P x 132 = 110/100 x 3000

Q:

A ball is thrown vertically upward from the ground. It crosses a point at the height of 25 m twice at an interval of 4 seconds. The ball was thrown with the velocity of

A) 18 m/s B) 25 m/s
C) 30 m/s D) 36 m/s
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 30 m/s

Explanation:

The interval between object pass the same point is 4 sec.

That means in 2 sec, object reaches the top and in next 2 sec, it again reaches the same point.

By the info given, we can find the velocity of that point by using : v=u+(-gt)

0= u - 10×2

u = 20

Then the velocity at 25m is 20m/sec.

so the initial velocity is


-v2 = u2 + (-2gh)400 = u2 - 2x 10 x 25u2 = 900 => u = 30 m/s

Q:

From a tank of petrol, which contains 200 litres of petrol, the seller replaces each time with kerosene when he sells 40 litres of petrol(or its mixture). Everytime he sells out only 40 litres of petrol(pure or impure). After replacing the petrol with kerosen 4th time, the total amount of kerosene in the mixture is 

A) 81.92L B) 96L
C) 118.08L D) None of these
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 118.08L

Explanation:

The amount of petrol left after 4 operations  

200 × 1-402004  

200 × 454  

200 × 256625  

= 81.92 litres

 

Hence the amount of kerosene = 200 - 81.92 = 118. 08 litres

Q:

A box contains 4 different black balls, 3 different red balls and 5 different blue balls. In how many ways can the balls be selected if every selection must have at least 1 black ball and one red ball ?

A) 24 - 1  

B) 2425-1   

C) (24-1)(23-1)25   

D) None 

A) A B) B
C) C D) D
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) C

Explanation:

It is explicitly given that all the 4 black balls are different, all the 3 red balls are different and all the 5 blue balls are different. Hence this is a case where all are distinct objects.

 

Initially let's find out the number of ways in which we can select the black balls. Note that at least 1 black ball must be included in each selection.

 

Hence, we can select 1 black ball from 4 black balls
or 2 black balls from 4 black balls.
or 3 black balls from 4 black balls.
or 4 black balls from 4 black balls.

 

Hence, number of ways in which we can select the black balls

 

= 4C1 + 4C2 + 4C3 + 4C4
= 24-1 ........(A)

 

Now let's find out the number of ways in which we can select the red balls. Note that at least 1 red ball must be included in each selection.

 

Hence, we can select 1 red ball from 3 red balls
or 2 red balls from 3 red balls
or 3 red balls from 3 red balls

 

Hence, number of ways in which we can select the red balls
= 3C1 + 3C2 + 3C3
=23-1........(B)

 

Hence, we can select 0 blue ball from 5 blue balls (i.e, do not select any blue ball. In this case, only black and red balls will be there)
or 1 blue ball from 5 blue balls
or 2 blue balls from 5 blue balls
or 3 blue balls from 5 blue balls
or 4 blue balls from 5 blue balls
or 5 blue balls from 5 blue balls.

 

Hence, number of ways in which we can select the blue balls
= 5C0 + 5C1 + 5C2 + … + 5C5
= 25..............(C)

 

From (A), (B) and (C), required number of ways
=  2524-123-1

Q:

Which solution has the highest pH?

A) 50.0 mL 0.0500 M calcium hydroxide, Ca(OH)2 (aq) B) 50.0 mL 0.0500 M sodium hydroxide, NaOH (aq)
C) 50.0 mL 0.0500 M nitric acid, HNO3 (aq) D) 50.0 mL 0.0500 M nitrous acid, HNO2 (aq)
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 50.0 mL 0.0500 M calcium hydroxide, Ca(OH)2 (aq)

Explanation:

50.0 mL 0.0500 M calcium hydroxide, Ca(OH)2 (aq) has the highest pH value.

Sodium hydroxide and Calcium hydroxide are strong bases so they completely ionize in solution. Because they ionize at the same rate, and Calcium hydroxide has the higher pH calculated, then Calcium hydroxide, in fact, has the highest pH.

Nitric acid is a strong acid, so it completely ionizes in water. Whilst nitrous acid is a weak acid. Therefore, the nitric acid solution has the LOWEST ph.
