Cation:

An ion is a cation (positive ion) if it is created by electron loss and is attracted to the cathode in electrolysis.

Anion:

An ion is an anion (negative ion) if it is created by an electron gain and is attracted to the anode.

Q:

In an election between two candidates K and L, the number of valid votes received by K exceeds those received by L by 15% of the total number of votes polled. If 20% of the votes polled were invalid and a total of 8720 votes were polled, then how many valid votes did L get ?

A) 3241 B) 2457
C) 2642 D) 2834
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 2834

Explanation:

Let the total number of votes polled in the election be 100k.
Number of valid votes = 100k - 20% (100k) = 80k
Let the number of votes polled in favour of K and L be a and b respectively.
a - b = 15% (100k) => a = b + 15k
=> a + b = b + 15k + b
Now, 2b + 15k = 80k and hence b = 32.5k
It is given that 100k = 8720
32.5k = 32.5k/100k x 8720 = 2834

The number of valid votes polled in favour of L is 2834.

Q:

An alloy contains gold and silver in the ratio 5 : 8 and another alloy contains gold and silver in the ratio 5 : 3. If equal amount of both the alloys are melted together, then the ratio of gold and silver in the resulting alloy is ?

 

A) 113/108 B) 105/103
C) 108/115 D) 103/113
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 105/103

Explanation:

As given equal amounts of alloys are melted, let it be 1 kg.

Required ratio of gold and silver = 513 + 58813 + 38 = 105103.

 

Hence, ratio of gold and silver in the resulting alloy = 105/103.

Q:

A rectangular grassy plot 120 m. by 60 m has a gravel path 1.5 m wide all round it on the inside. Find the cost of gravelling the path at 65 paise per sq. metre ?

A) Rs. 345.15 B) Rs. 245.1
C) Rs. 234.18 D) Rs. 456.65
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Rs. 345.15

Explanation:

area of the plot = 120m x 60m = 7200 sq.m
area of plot excluding gravel = 117m x 57m = 6669 sq.m
area of gravel = 7200 sq.m - 6669 sq.m = 531 sq.m
cost of building it = 531 sq.m x 65 ps = 34515 ps
In Rs. = 34515/100 = Rs. 345.15.
