Question : The speed of a car is 63 km/hr. What is the distance travelled by it in 10 seconds?
Option 1: 175 m
Option 2: 1.75 km
Option 3: 185 m
Option 4: 17.5 m
Correct Answer: 175 m
Solution : Given: The speed of a car is 63 km/hr. 63 km/hr = $\frac{63×5}{18}=\frac{35}{2}$ m/sec In 10 seconds the car will travel = $(\frac{35}{2}×10)$ metres = 175 metres Hence, the correct answer is 175 m.
Question : Sister can bake 50 cakes in 25 hours, and Sister and Mummy together can bake 75 cakes in 15 hours. Mummy can bake in 15 hours?
Option 1: 25
Option 2: 45
Option 3: 20
Option 4: 10
Correct Answer: 45
Solution : Time taken to bake 50 cakes by sister = 25 hours Time taken to bake 75 cakes by mother and sister = 15 hours The number of cakes Sister can bake in 1 hour = $\frac{50}{25}$ = 2 The number of cakes Sister and Mummy
Question : Directions: If 5 # 2 = 25 and 8 # 2 = 64, then 11 # 2 = ?
Option 1: 143
Option 2: 99
Option 3: 121
Option 4: 1331
Correct Answer: 121
Solution : Given: 5 # 2 = 25 and 8 # 2 = 64, then 11 # 2 = ?
Replace #2 with the square. So, the equations will be – 5 # 2 = 25→5² = 25 8 # 2 = 64→8² = 64 Similarly, 11
Question : Which of the following statements is not correct regarding mixtures?
Option 1: Colloids are heterogeneous mixtures in which the particle size is large.
Option 2: The major component of a solution is called the solvent.
Option 3: The minor component of a solution is called the solute.
Option 4: A solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances.
Correct Answer: Colloids are heterogeneous mixtures in which the particle size is large.
Solution : The correct answer is Colloids are heterogeneous mixtures in which the particle size is large.
A colloid is a type of heterogeneous combination where the distributed particles have a size that falls between that of
Question : Among the following, in which material is the speed of sound is highest? (at 25°C)
Option 1: Nickel
Option 2: Steel
Option 3: Iron
Option 4: Aluminium
Correct Answer: Aluminium
Solution : The correct option is Aluminium.
Aluminium typically has the highest speed of sound. Aluminium is known for its relatively low density and high elasticity compared to the other materials listed. The approximate speed of sound in aluminium at room temperature is about 6420 metres
Question : The difference between compound interest and simple interest for 3 years and 2 years are in the ratio 23 : 7, respectively. What is the rate of interest per year (in %)?
Option 1: $\frac{200}{7}$
Option 2: $\frac{100}{7}$
Option 3: $\frac{300}{7}$
Option 4: $\frac{400}{7}$
Correct Answer: $\frac{200}{7}$
Solution : Difference between CI and SI for 2 years = $\frac{PR^2}{10000}$ Difference between CI and SI for 3 years = $\frac{PR^2}{10000}×\frac{300+R}{100}$ Ratio = $\frac{PR^2}{10000}×\frac{300+R}{100}$:$\frac{PR^2}{10000}$ ⇒ $23 : 7 = \frac{300+R}{100}:1$ ⇒ $\frac{300+R}{100} = \frac{23}{7}$ ⇒ $7(300+R) = 2300$ ⇒ $ R = \frac{200}{7}$% Hence, the correct
Question : If $6 \sec \theta=10$, then find the value of $\frac{5 \operatorname{cosec} \theta-3 \cot \theta}{4 \cos \theta+3 \sin \theta}$.
Option 1: $\frac{2}{3}$
Option 2: $\frac{3}{2}$
Option 3: $\frac{5}{6}$
Option 4: $\frac{6}{5}$
Correct Answer: $\frac{5}{6}$
Solution : Given, $6 \sec \theta=10$ ⇒ $\sec\theta=\frac{10}{6}=\frac53$ We know, $\sec\theta = \frac{1}{\cos\theta},\sin^2\theta+\cos^2\theta=1\text{ and }\operatorname{cosec\theta}=\frac{1}{\sin\theta}$ ⇒ $\cos\theta=\frac{3}{5}$ ⇒ $\sin\theta=\sqrt{1-\cos^2\theta}$ ⇒ $\sin\theta=\sqrt{1-(\frac{3}{5})^2}$ ⇒ $\sin\theta=\sqrt{1-\frac{9}{25}}$ ⇒ $\sin\theta=\sqrt{\frac{25-9}{25}}$ ⇒ $\sin\theta=\sqrt{\frac{16}{25}}$ ⇒ $\sin\theta=\frac{4}{5}$ ⇒ $\operatorname{cosec\theta}=\frac54$ ⇒ $\cot\theta=\frac{\cos\theta}{\sin\theta}=\frac{3}{4}$ So, $\frac{5 \operatorname{cosec} \theta-3 \cot \theta}{4 \cos \theta+3 \sin \theta}=\frac{5\times\frac54-3\times\frac34}{4\times\frac35+3\times\frac45}=\frac{\frac{25}{4}-\frac{9}{4}}{\frac{12}{5}+\frac{12}{5}}=\frac{\frac{16}{4}}{\frac{24}{5}}=\frac{16\times5}{4\times 24}=\frac56$ Hence, the correct
