Q:

Water is an example of?

A) Element B) Molecule
C) Compound D) Both B & C
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Both B & C

Why Water Is Not an Element :

An element is a substance consisting of only one type of atom. Water consists of two types of atoms: hydrogen and oxygen.

 

water is both a molecule and a compound :

A compound forms whenever two or more atoms form chemical bonds with each other. The chemical formula for water is H2O, which means each molecule of water consists of one oxygen atom chemically bonded to two hydrogen atoms.

Thus, water is a compound.

 

It's also a molecule, which is any chemical species formed by two or more atoms chemically bonded to each other. The terms molecule and compound mean the same thing and can be used interchangeably.

 

Hence, water is both a molecule and a compound.

Q:

P and Q were assigned to do a work for an amount of 1200. P alone can do it in 15 days while Q can do it in 12 days. With the help of R they finish the work in 6 days. Find the share of R ?

A) 120 B) 240
C) 360 D) 180
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 120

Explanation:

1/15 + 1/12 + 1/R = 1/6, we got R = 60 (it means R will take 60 days to complete the work alone)


so ratio of work done by P:Q:R = 1/15 : 1/12 : 1/60 = 5 : 4 : 1


so R share = (1/10) x 1200 = 120.

A) Rs. 5989 B) Rs. 6540
C) Rs. 7844 D) Rs. 6789
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Rs. 6540

Explanation:

Given C.I = 5984, R = 20% , T = 2yrs

 C.I = P1+201002-1

 

5984 = 

 

=> P = (5995x25)/11

 

P = Rs. 13625

 

Now S.I = PTR/100

 

SI = (13625 x 8 x 6)/100 = Rs. 6540

Q:

Mr. Karthik drives to work at an average speed of 48 km/hr. Time taken to cover the first 60% of the distance is 20 minutes more than the time taken to cover the remaining distance. Then how far is his office ?

A) 40 km B) 50 km
C) 70 km D) 80 km
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 80 km

Explanation:

Let the total distance be 'x' km.

Time taken to cover remaining 40% of x distance is   t1=40×x100×48


But given time taken to cover first 60% of x distance is   t2=t1+2060hrs

 t2=60×x100×48

60×x100×48= 40×x100×48+2060

 x=80 km.
