Q:

In what ratio must wheat at Rs. 3.20/kg be mixed with wheat at Rs. 2.90/kg so that the mixture be worth Rs. 3/kg?

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

Explanation:

Given rate of wheat at cheap = Rs. 2.90/kg

Rate of wheat at cost = Rs. 3.20/kg

Mixture rate = Rs. 3/kg

Ratio of mixture = 

          2.90                              3.20

                              3

(3.20 - 3 = 0.20)            (3 - 2.90 = 0.10)

 

0.20 : 0.10 = 2:1

 

Hence, wheat at Rs. 3.20/kg be mixed with wheat at Rs. 2.90/kg in the ratio of 2:1, so that the mixture be worth Rs. 3/kg.

Q:

If y/(x - z) = (y + x)/z = x/y then find z : y : x ?

A) 1:2:3 B) 3:2:4
C) 4:3:2 D) 2:3:4
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 3:2:4

Explanation:

Given, y/(x - z) = (y + x)/z = x/y
yz = xy + x2 - yz - xz ....(1)
Also xy = yx-z x2 -xz = y2 ....(2)
Using (1) and (2), we get yz = xy - yz + y2
2yz = xy + y2
2z = x + y
Only option (B) satisfies the equation.

Q:

In a class of 60 students where girls are twice that of boys, Laxmi ranked 27th from the top. If there are 9 boys ahead of Laxmi, how many girls are after her rank ?

A) 23 B) 21
C) 22 D) 24
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 22

Explanation:

Given number of girls are twice that of boys.

--> G=2B and G+B = 60 

Therefore,  G=40 and B= 20

Given Laxmi ranked 27th from the top and 9 boys are ahead of Laxmi.

Therefore, There are 17 girls ahead of Laxmi. 

Therefore, Number of girls who ranked after Laxmi = 40 - (17+1) = 22.

Q:

A farmer divides his herd of k cows among his 4 sons, so that one son gets one half of the herd, the second gets one-fourth, the third gets one-fifth and the fourth gets 9 cows. Then k is equal to ?

A) 160 B) 120
C) 140 D) 180
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 180

Explanation:

Given total number of cows = k
Now, 1st son share = k/2
2nd son share = k/4
3rd son share = k/5
4th son share = 9

(k) + (k/4) + (k/5) + 9 = k
=> k - (19k/20) = 9
=> (20k-19k)/20 = 9
=> k = 180.

Q:

What is the conjugate base of H2O?

A) NH3+ B) OH-
C) H2O D) All the above
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) OH-

Explanation:

A conjugate acid, is a species formed by the reception of a proton (H+) by a base—in other words, it is a base with a hydrogen ion added to it.

On the other hand, a conjugate base is what is left over after an acid has donated a proton during a chemical reaction. Hence, a conjugate base is a species formed by the removal of a proton from an acid.

Because some acids are capable of releasing multiple protons, the conjugate base of an acid may itself be acidic.

Represented as the following chemical reaction:

Acid + Base ⇌ Conjugate Base + Conjugate Acid

 

The water molecule is the conjugate acid of the hydroxide ion after the latter received the hydrogen proton donated by ammonium. On the other hand, ammonia is the conjugate base for the acid ammonium after ammonium has donated a hydrogen ion towards the production of the water molecule. We can also refer to OH- as a conjugate base of H2O, since the water molecule donates a proton towards the production of NH+4 in the reverse reaction, which is the predominating process in nature due to the strength of the base NH3 over the hydroxide ion.
