Q:

One type of liquid contains 25 % of benzene, the other contains 30% of benzene. A can is filled with 6 parts of the first liquid and 4 parts of the second liquid. Find the percentage of benzene in the new mixture.

A) 27 % B) 26 %
C) 29 % D) 21 %
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 27 %

Explanation:

Let the percentage of benzene = X
(30 - X)/(X- 25) = 6/4 = 3/2
=> 5X = 135  
X = 27

So, required percentage of benzene = 27 %

Q:

The purpose of choke in tube light is

A) Induce high voltage B) Induce low resistance
C) Induce high resistance D) Induce low voltage
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Induce high voltage

Explanation:

When the switch is ON, in a tube light choke is nothing but the coil/ballast ( inductor) which is used to induce the high voltage across it. as we know that inductor has property to induce high voltage for the brief period of time, this high voltage is required to ionize the gases in the starter.

Then gas inside the starter gets ionized due to this full voltage and heats the bimetallic strip that is caused to be bent to connect to the fixed contact. Current starts flowing through the starter. Although the ionization potential of the neon is the little bit more than that of the argon but still due to small electrode gap high voltage gradient is appeared in the neon bulb and hence glow discharge is started first in a starter.

As voltage gets reduced due to the current causes a voltage drop across the inductor, the strip cools and breaks away from the fixed contact. At that moment a large L di/dt voltage surge comes across the inductor at the time of breaking.

This high valued surge comes across the tube light electrodes and strikes penning mixture (mixture argon gas and mercury vapor).

Gas discharge process continues and current gets the path to flow through the tube light gas only due to low resistance as compared to the resistance of starter.

Q:

With an average speed of 40 km/hr, a train reaches its destination in time. If it goes with an average speed of 35 km/hr, it is late by 15 minutes. Find the length of the total journey?

A) 70 kms B) 60 kms
C) 45 kms D) 30 kms
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 70 kms

Explanation:

Let the time taken by train be 't' hrs.

Then,

40t = 35t + 1560

40t = 35t + 35/4

t = 7/4 hrs

Therefore, Required length of the total journey d = s x t

= 40 x 7/4

= 70 kms.

Q:

Rs.1500 is divided into two parts such that if one part is invested at 6% and the other at 5% the whole annual interest from both the sum is Rs.85. How much was lent at 5% ?

A) Rs. 500 B) Rs. 245
C) Rs. 1250 D) Rs. 635
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Rs. 500

Explanation:

(kx5x1)/100 + [(1500 - k)x6x1]/100 = 85

5k/100 + 90 – 6k/100 = 85

k/100 = 5

=> k = 500

Q:

An equilateral triangle is described on the diagonal of a square. What is the ratio of the area of the triangle to that of the square?

A) 1:2 B) 1:3
C) 2:3 D) 3^(1/2) :2
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 3^(1/2) :2

Explanation:

area of a square = a² sq cm

 

length of the diagonal = 2a cm

 

area of equilateral triangle with side  2a= 34*2a2
required ratio = 34*2a2:a2=3:2
