Q:

Statement :

The byproducts obtained from animals such as hairs, skins, horns, etc. contain at least 45 per cent food protein. Indian scientists have developed methods to segregate 50 per cent of this protein. They have used an enzyme developed in Russia for destruction of soya-proteins.

Conclusions:

A. Indian scientists cannot develop enzymes.

B. If a suitable method involving less cost is developed then many more food protein would be obtained.

A) Only A follows B) Only B follows
C) Neither A nor B follows D) Both A & B follows
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Neither A nor B follows

Explanation:

There is no indication that Indian scientists are incapable of developing enzymes. There could be any number of reasons why Indian scientists used Russian enzymes.

So conclusion A does not follow.

In addition, cost is not discussed in the passage at all. There is no mention of a correlation between cost and extraction of proteins.

Thus, conclusion B does not follow either.

It is Charcoal which is black when we buy it or when not being used. It gets red in appearance when put in use means to say when burning. And eventually when it's been consumed by fire or after getting burned out or used up, changes into ashes which look grey in color.

A) 30 B) 40
C) 50 D) 60
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 40

Explanation:

let length = 2x and breadth = x then
(2x-5) (x+5) = (2x * x)+75
5x-25 = 75 => x=20
length of the rectangle = 40 cm

C) 6 D) 650
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 650

Explanation:

The given series is 1 6 27 124 650

1

1 + 2 x 2 = 6

6 + 3 x 3 = 27

27 + 4 x 4 = 124

124 + 5 x 5 = 645 (NOT 650)

 

 

Hence, the odd man in the given number series is 650.

b. Some bangles are keys.
c. Some cars are keys.

A) Only a follows B) Only c follows
C) Only a & b follows D) a, b & c follows
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) a, b & c follows

Explanation:

All locks are bangles + All bangles are cars = A + A = A
= All locks are cars => Some cars are locks.
Hence conclusion (a) follows.
All keys are locks + All locks are bangles = A + A = A
= All keys are bangles => some bangles are keys.
Hence conclusion (b) follows.
All keys are bangles + All bangles are cars = A + A = A
= All keys are cars => Some cars are keys.
Hence conclusion (C) follows.

 

 

 

Thus all a, b and c follows.

Q:

The length of a rectangular hall is 5m more than its breadth. The area of the hall is 750 sq.m. The length of the hall is

A) 20 B) 25
C) 30 D) 35
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 30

Explanation:

Let breadth = x m

 

Then, length = (x+5)m

 

Area of a rectangle = Length x Breadth

 

x(x+5) = 750 

 

x² + 5x - 750= 0

 

(x+30)(x-25)= 0

 

x = 25 or x = -30

 

Hence, breadth x = 25m

 

=> Length = x + 5 = 25 + 5 = 30m.

96, 95, 87, 78, ?

A) 64 B) 57
C) 29 D) 14
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 14

The given number series is 96, 95, 87, 78, ? 

It follows a pattern that,

9696 - 12 = 9595 - 23 = 95 - 8 = 8787 - 32 = 87 - 9 = 7878 - 43 = 78 - 64 = 14

 

Hence, the next number in the given number series is 14.

Q:

At what time between 5.30 and 6 will the hands of a clock be at right angles?

A) (43 + 5/11) min past 5 B) (43 + 7/11) min pats 5
C) 5 D) 7
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) (43 + 7/11) min pats 5

Explanation:

At 5 o'clock, the hands are 25 min. spaces apart.
To be at right angles and that too between 5.30 and 6, the minute hand has to gain (25 + 15) = 40 min. spaces.

 

55 min. spaces are gained in 60 min

 

40 min. spaces are gained in 6055×40 min
