Question : Directions: Select the option in which the numbers share the same relationship in the set as that shared by the numbers in the given set. (NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into their constituent digits. E.g.13 – operations on 13 such as adding/subtracting/multiplying etc. to 13 can be performed. Breaking down 13 into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is not allowed.) (32, 64, 256) (18, 36, 144)
Option 1: (37, 74, 296)
Option 2: (26, 52, 313)
Option 3: (41, 82, 164)
Option 4: (24, 72, 287)
Correct Answer: (37, 74, 296)
Solution : Given: (32, 64, 256); (18, 36, 144)
Here, the pattern followed is as follows – Like, (32, 64, 256)→32 × 2 = 64; 64 × 4 = 256 And, (18, 36, 144)→18 × 2 = 36; 36 × 4 = 144
Let's check
Question : Soap helps in better cleaning of clothes because:
Option 1: Soap acts like a catalyst
Option 2: It reduces the surface tension of the solution
Option 3: It gives strength to the solution
Option 4: It absorbs the dirt
Correct Answer: It reduces the surface tension of the solution
Solution : The correct option is It reduce the surface tension of the solution.
Soaps can dissolve the grease and oil that hold dirt in place, and they are efficient cleaners. They allow the solution to moisten objects more
Question : Three numbers are such that their sum is 50, the product is 3750 and the sum of their reciprocals is $\frac{31}{150}$. Find the sum of the squares of the three numbers.
Option 1: $2500$
Option 2: $1250$
Option 3: $950$
Option 4: $122$
Correct Answer: $950$
Solution : Let the numbers be $a, b$ and $c$. Given: $(a + b + c) = 50$, $abc = 3750$ and $\frac{1}{a} + \frac{1}{b} + \frac{1}{c} = \frac{31}{150}$ Now, $\frac{1}{a} + \frac{1}{b} + \frac{1}{c} = \frac{(bc + ac + ab)}{abc}$ ⇒ $\text{(bc+ac +ab)} = \frac{31}{150}\times 3750
Question : Directions: In a certain code language, JAIL is coded as 304, and LAWN is coded as 232. What is the code for NAVY in that code language?
Option 1: 312
Option 2: 184
Option 3: 188
Option 4: 182
Correct Answer: 184
Solution : Given: JAIL is coded as 304, and LAWN is coded as 232.
Add the reverse position value of the letters of the word JAIL and multiply the resultant with the total number of letters, to obtain the required code – J→17; A→26; I→18; L→15 Now,
Question : $\triangle \mathrm {ABC}$ is similar to $\triangle \mathrm{PQR}$ and $\mathrm{PQ}=10 \mathrm{~cm}$. If the area of $\triangle \mathrm{ABC}$ is $32 \mathrm{~cm}^2$ and the area of $\triangle \mathrm{PQR}$ is $50 \mathrm{~cm}^2$, then the length of $A B$ (in $\mathrm{cm}$ ) is equal to:
Option 1: 10
Option 2: 4
Option 3: 6
Option 4: 8
Correct Answer: 8
Solution : If $\triangle \mathrm{A B C}$ is similar to $\triangle \mathrm{PQR}$ ⇒ $\frac{\text{Ares of triangle ABC}}{AB^2}=\frac{\text{Area of triangle PQR}}{PQ^2}$ ⇒ $\frac{32}{AB^2}=\frac{50}{10^2}$ ⇒ $AB^2=\frac{32}{50}\times 100$ ⇒ $AB^2=64$ cm ⇒ $AB=\sqrt{64}=8$ cm Hence, the correct answer is 8 cm.
Question : Dioptre is the unit of:
Option 1: power of a lens
Option 2: focal length of a lens
Option 3: light intensity
Option 4: sound intensity
Correct Answer: power of a lens
Solution : The correct answer is the power of a lens.
The focal length determines the lens's power. The power of a lens will decrease with increasing focal length and increase with decreasing focal length. Light has less power if there is less bending
