Q:

If sum of upstream and downstream speed of a boat is 82 kmph, and the boat travels 105 km. upstream in 3 hr, Find the time taken by boat to cover 126 km downstream. 

A) 2.8 hrs B) 2.7 hrs
C) 2.6 hrs D) 2.5 hrs
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 2.7 hrs

Explanation:

Let Speed of boat in still water = b

Let Speed of still water = w

Then we know that,

Speed of Upstream = U = boat - water

Speed of Downstream = D = boat + water

Given, U + D = 82

b - w + b + w = 82

2b = 82

=> b = 41 kmph

From the given data,

41 - w = 105/3 = 35

w = 6 kmph

Now,

b + w = 126/t

=> 41 + 6 = 126/t

=> t = 126/47  = 2.68 hrs.

Q:

P, Q and R start simultaneously from A to B. P reaches B, turns back and meet Q at a distance of 11 km from B. Q reached B, turns back and meet R at a distance of 9 km from B. If the ratio of the speeds of P and R is 3:2, what is the distance between A and B ?

A) 99 B) 100
C) 89 D) 1
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 99

Explanation:

Let, Distance between A and B = d

 

Distance travelled by P while it meets Q = d + 11

 

Distance travelled by Q while it meets P = d – 11

 

Distance travelled by Q while it meets R = d + 9

 

Distance travelled by R while it meets Q = d – 9

 

Here the ratio of speeds of P & Q => SP : SQ = d + 11 : d – 11

 

The ratio of speeds of Q & R => SQ : SR = d + 9 : d – 9

 

But given Ratio of speeds of P & R => P : R = 3 : 2

 SPSR = SPSQxSQSR = d+11d+9d-11d-9

 

=> d+11d+9d-11d-9 = 3/2

 

=>  d = 1, 99

 

=> d = 99 satisfies.

 

Therefore, Distance between A and B = 99

Q:

Which compound contains both ionic and covalent bonds?

A) NaNO3 B) CaSO4
C) NH4Cl D) All of the above
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) All of the above

Explanation:

Here all the given compounds have both ionic and covalent bonds.

 

NaNO3 - In Sodium nitrate, Nitrate is covalently bonded as nitrogen is bonded with 3 oxygen atoms. And this nitrate is ionically bonded with sodium.

 

CaSO4 - In Calcium sulphate, sulphate is covalently bonded as sulphur is bonded with 4 oxygen atoms. And this sulphate is ionically bonded with calcium.

 

NH4Cl - In Ammonium chloride, ammonium is covalently bonded as nitrogen is bonded with 4 hydrogen atoms. And this ammonium is ionically bonded with chlorine.

Q:

How many 3-digit numbers can be formed from the digits 2, 3, 5, 6, 7 and 9 which are divisible by 5 and none of the digits is repeated ?

A) 15 B) 20
C) 5 D) 10
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 20

Explanation:

Since each number to be divisible by 5, we must have 5 0r 0 at the units place. But in given digits we have only 5.

 

So, there is one way of doing it.

 

Tens place can be filled by any of the remaining 5 numbers.So, there are 5 ways of filling the tens place.

 

The hundreds place can now be filled by any of the remaining 4 digits. So, there are 4 ways of filling it.

 

Required number of numbers = (1 x 5 x 4) = 20.

Q:

If a parallelogram with area p, a triangle with area R and a triangle with area T are all constructed on the same base and all have the same altitude, then

A) P=R B) P=A
C) P=A/2 D) P=2R
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) P=R

Explanation:

let each have base = b and height = h
then p = b*h, R = b*h and T = (1/2) * b*h
so P = R, P = 2T and T = (1/2)*R are all correct statements
