C) 3	D) 6

The given figure can be labelled as shown :

63-11484548871.png image

The spaces P, Q and R have to be shaded by three different colours definitely (since each of these three spaces lies adjacent to the other two).
Now, in order that no two adjacent spaces be shaded by the same colour, the spaces T, U and S must be shaded with the colours of the spaces P, Q and R respectively.
Also the spaces X, V and W must be shaded with the colours of the spaces S, T and U respectively i.e. with the colours of the spaces R, P and Q respectively. Thus, minimum three colour pencils are required.

Q:

Which is better investment : 11% stock at 143 (or) 9 3/4% stock at 117 ?

A) Both are equally good	B) 9 3/4% stock at 117
C) Cannot be compared, as the total amount of investment is not given	D) 11% stock at 143

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 9 3/4% stock at 117

Explanation:

Let investment in each case be Rs. (143 x 117).

Income in 1st case = Rs. $\frac{11}{143}$ x 143 x 117 = Rs. 1287.
Income in 2nd case = Rs. $\frac{39}{4 \times 117}$ x 143 x 117= Rs. 1394.25

Clearly, 9 3/4% stock at 117 is better.

Q:

The oxidation number of Cr in $K_{2} {Cr}_{2} O_{7}$ is

A) +6	B) -5
C) +3	D) -4

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) +6

Explanation:

We will rewrite the formula as an equation.

2K + 2Cr + 7O = 0

The zero comes from there being no overall charge on the compound.

Each oxidation number is represented by the element's symbol.

Since this compound is not a peroxide or superoxide, the oxidation value for O is -2

K being in group 1 has a +1 charge and therefore has an oxidation number of K is +1

Now, by putting known values in we have:

2(+1) + 2(Cr) + 7(-2) = 0

2 + 2Cr -14 = 0

2Cr = +12

Cr = +6.

Q:

Ayush was born two years after his father's marriage. His mother is five years younger than his father but 20 years older than Ayush who is 10 years old. At what age did the father get married ?

A) 25 years	B) 24 years
C) 23 years	D) 22 years

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 23 years

Explanation:

Ayush's present age = 10 years.
His mother's present age = (10 + 20) years = 30 years.
Ayush's father's present age = (30 + 5) years = 35 years.
Ayush's father's age at the time of Ayush's birth = (35 - 10) years = 25 years.

Therefore Ayush's father's age at the time of marriage = (25 - 2) years = 23 years.
