Question : Simplify: $\sqrt{\frac{4\frac{1}{7}-2\frac{1}{4}}{3\frac{1}{2}+1\frac{1}{7}}+\frac{2}{2+\frac{1}{2+\frac{1}{5-\frac{1}{5}}}}}$
Option 1: $1$
Option 2: $4$
Option 3: $\sqrt{\frac{159}{130}}$
Option 4: $2$
Correct Answer: $\sqrt{\frac{159}{130}}$
Solution : $\sqrt{\frac{4\frac{1}{7}-2\frac{1}{4}}{3\frac{1}{2}+1\frac{1}{7}}+\frac{2}{2+\frac{1}{2+\frac{1}{5-\frac{1}{5}}}}}$ = $\sqrt{\frac{\frac{29}{7}-\frac{9}{4}}{\frac{7}{2}+\frac{8}{7}}+\frac{2}{2+\frac{1}{2+\frac{5}{24}}}}$ = $\sqrt{\frac{\frac{53}{28}}{\frac{65}{14}}+\frac{2}{2+\frac{24}{53}}}$ = $\sqrt{\frac{53}{130}+\frac{106}{130}}$ = $\sqrt{\frac{159}{130}}$ Hence, the correct answer is $\sqrt{\frac{159}{130}}$.
Question : If four-fifths of five-sixths of one-eighth of a certain number is 4365, what is 65% of the number?
Option 1: 36,375
Option 2: 53,280
Option 3: 34,047
Option 4: 52,380
Correct Answer: 34,047
Solution : Let the number be $n$. According to the question, $\frac{4}{5} \times \frac{5}{6} \times \frac{1}{8} \times n = 4365$ $⇒\frac{1}{12} \times n = 4365$ $⇒n = 4365 \times 12 = 52380$ Now, 65% of $n = \frac{65}{100} \times 52380 = 34047$ Hence, the correct answer is
Question : The gas that causes suffocation and death when coal or coke is burnt in a closed room is

Question : $\mathrm{O}$ is the centre of a circle and $\mathrm{A}$ is a point on a major arc $\mathrm{BC}$ of the circle. $\angle \mathrm{BOC}$ and $\angle \mathrm{BAC}$ are the angles made by the minor arc $\mathrm{BC}$ on the centre and circumference, respectively. If $\angle \mathrm{ABO}=40^{\circ}$ and $\angle \mathrm{ACO}=30^{\circ}$, then find $\angle \mathrm{BOC}$.
Option 1: $130^{\circ}$
Option 2: $140^{\circ}$
Option 3: $120^{\circ}$
Option 4: $150^{\circ}$
Correct Answer: $140^{\circ}$
Solution :
Given: That $O$ is the centre of a circle and $A$ is a point on a major arc $BC$ of the circle. $\angle BOC$ and $\angle BAC$ are the angles made by the minor arc $BC$ on the centre and circumference, respectively. Also $\angle ABO=40^{\circ}$
