Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 44%

Explanation:

The surface area of a cube = 6 $a^{2}$ = 6 $s i d e^{2}$

New Surface area = 6 x 1.44 $a^{2}$

Therefore, $\frac{0.44 a^{2}}{a^{2}} x 100 = 44$ %

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.

Q:

Sixty men can stitch 150 shirts in 30 days working 8 hours a day. In how many days can 35 men stitch 200 shirts working 6 hours a day ?

A) 87.5	B) 89
C) 91.5	D) 93.5

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 91.5

Explanation:

We have M1 D1 H1 / W1 = M2 D2 H2 / W2 (Variation rule)
(60 x 30 x 8)/ 150 = (35 x D2 x 6) / 200
D2 = (60 x 30 x 8 x 200) / (150 x 35 x 6) => D2 = 91.42 days =~ 91.5 days.

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

= $200 \times {(1 - \frac{40}{200})}^{4}$

= $200 \times {(\frac{4}{5})}^{4}$

= $200 \times (\frac{256}{625})$

= 81.92 litres

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

Q:

Two persons start running simultaneously around a circular track of length 600 m from the same point at speeds of 25 kmph and 35 kmph. When will they meet for the first time any where on the track ?

A) 54 sec	B) 36 sec
C) 72 sec	D) 11 sec

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 36 sec

Explanation:

Time taken to meet the first time = length of track/relative speed

Given the length of the track is 600 m

The relative speed = 25 + 35 = 60 kmph = 60 x 5/18 m

Therefore Time = $\frac{600}{(25 + 35) \frac{5}{18}}$ = 600/60 x (18/5) = 36 sec.
