Question : In which dialdehyde are two formyl groups attached to adjacent carbon centres on a benzene ring and form fluorescent conjugation products with primary amines?
Option 1: Phthalaldehyde
Option 2: Acetaldehyde
Option 3: Valeraldehyde
Option 4: Isobutyraldehyde
Correct Answer: Phthalaldehyde
Solution : The correct answer is Phthalaldehyde.
Phthalaldehyde is a dialdehyde in which two formal groups are attached to adjacent carbon centres on a benzene ring. It forms a fluorescent conjugation product with primary amines. It is used as a disinfectant, mainly for dental and medical
Question : Directions: If C = 3, CEP = 24 then what will be the value of HUX?
Option 1: 47
Option 2: 49
Option 3: 51
Option 4: 53
Correct Answer: 53
Solution : Given: C = 3, CEP = 24
The place value of C is 3. Thus, C is coded as 3. Add the place value of letters of CEP, to get the required code – C→3; E→5; P→16 Now, add the place value→3 + 5 +
Question : Directions: In the following question, identify the diagram that represents the best relationship among classes given below. Ornaments, Gold, Silver
Option 1:
Option 2:
Option 3:
Option 4:
Correct Answer:
Solution : Ornaments can be made from both gold and silver. Therefore, both circles will be inside the circle of ornaments. But there is no direct relationship between gold and silver. So, both the circles will not overlap with each other. Based on the above conclusions, the following
Question : If 45% of a certain number is equal to $\frac{6}{5}$th of another number, what is the ratio between the numbers?
Option 1: 9 : 11
Option 2: 8 : 3
Option 3: 1 : 7
Option 4: 7 : 4
Correct Answer: 8 : 3
Solution : Let the first number as $x$ and the second number as $y$. According to the question, $\frac{45x}{100} = \frac{6y}{5}$ $⇒\frac{x}{y} = \frac{6×20}{5×9}$ $\therefore \frac{x}{y} = \frac{8}{3}$ Hence, the correct answer is 8 : 3.
Question : Directions: In the given question, a sentence is given with a blank to be filled in with an appropriate word. Four alternatives are suggested for each question. Choose the correct alternative out of the four alternatives.
His success is worthy of ___.
Option 1: copying
Option 2: aping
Option 3: simulation
Option 4: emulation
Correct Answer: emulation
Solution : The fourth option is the correct choice.
"Emulation" means striving to surpass the achievements of someone, and it fits perfectly in the sentence.
The meanings of the other options are as follows:
Question : The median of an equilateral triangle is $15 \sqrt{3} \mathrm{~cm}$. What is the side of this triangle?
Option 1: 24 cm
Option 2: 18 cm
Option 3: 30 cm
Option 4: 36 cm
Correct Answer: 30 cm
Solution : Length of median of the equilateral triangle = $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$ × side Let the side of the equilateral triangle be a cm. Length of median of the triangle = $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$ × a ⇒ $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$ × a = 15$\sqrt{3}$ $\therefore$ a = 30 cm Hence, the
Question : Directions: What will come in the place of (?) in the following equation, if + and – are interchanged with ÷ and ×, respectively? 24 – 3 ÷ 4 × 45 + 5 = ?
Option 1: 70
Option 2: 63
Option 3: 72
Option 4: 67
Correct Answer: 67
Solution : Given: 24 – 3 ÷ 4 × 45 + 5 = ?
After interchanging the signs as per the instructions, the equation becomes – = 24 × 3 + 4 – 45 ÷ 5 = 24 × 3 + 4 – 9 = 72 +
Question : Directions: There are six taxi companies (A, B, C, D, E, F) in a certain city. The bar graph shows the number of taxis run by each of these six companies. Study the diagram and answer the following question. If each taxi, on average, runs 100 km every day and if the fuel cost is Rs. 3 per km, then all these taxis spend how much (in Rs.) on fuel every day?
Option 1: 128000
Option 2: 108000
Option 3: 118000
Option 4: 98000
Correct Answer: 108000
Solution : Total number of taxis = 25 +120 + 35 + 75 + 95 + 10 = 360 If each taxi runs 100 km daily, and cost of fuel is Rs. 3. Then, total cost on fuel = 360 × 100 × 3 = Rs. 108000
Question : The exterior angles obtained on producing the base $BC$ of a $\triangle ABC$ in both ways are $120^{\circ}$ and $105^{\circ}$, then the vertical $\angle A$ of the triangle is:
Option 1: $36^{\circ}$
Option 2: $40^{\circ}$
Option 3: $45^{\circ}$
Option 4: $55^{\circ}$
Correct Answer: $45^{\circ}$
Solution : Exterior angles obtained on producing the base $BC$ of a $\triangle ABC$ in both ways are $120^{\circ}$ and $105^{\circ}$. ⇒ $\angle ABC = 180^{\circ} -120^{\circ}=60^{\circ}$ ⇒ $ \angle ACB= 180^{\circ}-105^{\circ}=75^{\circ}$ In $\triangle ABC$, $\angle ABC+\angle ACB+\angle BAC=180^{\circ}$ ⇒ $\angle BAC=180^{\circ}-60^{\circ}-75^{\circ}=45^{\circ}$ Hence, the correct answer is
Question : Directions: Read the given statements and conclusions carefully. You have to take the given statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance from commonly known facts. You have to decide which conclusions logically follow/s from the given statements. Statements: (I) All tulips are lilies. (II) All orchids are lilies. (III) No lily is a rose. Conclusions: (I) Some tulips are orchids. (II) No orchid is a rose.
Option 1: Only conclusion II follows
Option 2: Only conclusion I follows
Option 3: Neither conclusion I nor II follows
Option 4: Both conclusions I and II follow
Correct Answer: Only conclusion II follows
Solution : The possible Venn diagram according to the statements given in the question is –
Let's check each conclusion – Conclusion (I): Some tulips are orchids – According to the Venn diagram, there is no definite relation between tulips and orchids. So, this
