Q:

At a certain rate of interest the compound interest of 3 years and simple interest of 5 years for certain sum of money is respectively Rs. 1513.2 and Rs. 2400. Find the common rate of interest per annum ?

A) 5% B) 6%
C) 4% D) 3%
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 5%

Explanation:

Given compound interest for 3 years = Rs. 1513.2

 

and simple interest for 5 years = Rs. 2400

 

Now, we know that  C.I = P1+R100n - 1

 

=> 1513.2 = P1+R1003 - 1 ...........(A)

 

And S.I = PTR/100

 

=> 2400 = P5R/100 ..................(B)

 

By solving (A) & (B), we get

 

R = 5%.

Q:

What kind of crystalline solid is graphite?

A) Metallic B) Ionic
C) Molecular D) Covalent- network
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Covalent- network

Explanation:

Graphite is a covalent-network type of crystalline solid.

 

There are two main categories of solids.

1. Crystalline solids and

2. Amorphous solids.

Crystalline solids are those in which the atoms, ions, or molecules that make up the solid exist in a regular, well-defined arrangement.

There are four types of crystalline solids :


Ionic solids :— Made up of positive and negative ions and held together by electrostatic attractions. They’re characterized by very high melting points and brittleness and are poor conductors in the solid state. An example of an ionic solid is table salt, NaCl.

Molecular solids :— Made up of atoms or molecules held together by London dispersion forces, dipole-dipole forces, or hydrogen bonds. Characterized by low melting points and flexibility and are poor conductors. An example of a molecular solid is sucrose.

Covalent-network (also called atomic) solids :— Made up of atoms connected by covalent bonds; the intermolecular forces are covalent bonds as well. Characterized as being very hard with very high melting points and being poor conductors. Examples of this type of solid are diamond and graphite, and the fullerenes. As you can see below, graphite has only 2-D hexagonal structure and therefore is not hard like diamond. The sheets of graphite are held together by only weak London forces!

Metallic solids :— Made up of metal atoms that are held together by metallic bonds. Characterized by high melting points, can range from soft and malleable to very hard, and are good conductors of electricity.

Q:

Programs stored in ROM are called

A) Hardware B) Firmware
C) Freeware D) Software
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Firmware

Explanation:

The programs which are as permanent as hardware and stored in ROM are known as Firmware.

 

Data stored in ROM can only be modified slowly, with difficulty, or not at all, so it is mainly used to store firmware (software that is closely tied to specific hardware, and unlikely to need frequent updates) or application software in plug-in cartridges.

Q:

What was the day on 2nd Jan 1901 ?

A) Tuesday B) Wednesday
C) Monday D) Thursday
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Wednesday

Explanation:

2nd Jan 1901 means
(1900 years and 2 day)
Now, 1600 years have 0 odd day
300 years have 1 odd day
2 days has 2 odd day
Total no. of odd days = 0 + 1 + 2 = 3 days
Hence, the day on 2nd Jan 1901 was Wednesday.

Q:

A cylindrical rod of iron, whose height is equal to its radius, is melted and cast into spherical balls whose radius is half the radius of the rod. Find the number of balls.

A) 3 B) 4
C) 5 D) 6
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 6

Explanation:

Volume of rod = πr2h = πr2×r = πr3  

Volume of one spherical ball =r/2 

Volume of the spherical ball = 43πr38  

Number of balls=Volumeof rod/volumeof one ball

Q:

A Group consists of 4 couples in which each of the  4 persons have one wife each. In how many ways could they be arranged in a straight line such that the men and women occupy alternate positions?

A) 1152 B) 1278
C) 1296 D) None of these
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 1152

Explanation:

Case I :  MW  MW  MW  MW

 

Case II:  WM  WM  WM  WM

 

Let us arrange 4 men in 4! ways, then we arrange 4 women in 4P4 ways at 4 places either left of the men or right of the men. Hence required number of arrangements

 

   4! × 4P4  + 4! × 4P4  = 2 × 576 = 1152

Q:

The average weight of 45 passengers in a bus is 52 kg. 5 of them whose average weight is 48 kg leave the bus and other 5 passengers whose average weight is 54 kg join the bus at the same stop. What is the new average weight of the bus?   

A) 54.21 kgs B) 51.07 kgs
C) 52.66 kgs D) 53.45 kgs
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 52.66 kgs

Explanation:

Given total number of passengers in the bus = 45

First average weight of 45 passengers = 52 kgs

Average weight of 5 passengers who leave bus = 48

Average weight of passengers who joined the bus = 54

Therefore, the net average weight of the bus is given by

= 45 x 52 - 5 x 48 + 5 x 5445 = 237045= 1583= 52.66 kgs.
