A. Environmental engineers are always trying to find solutions to the problem of pollution. B. They also have to deal with medical waste and radioactive leakages. C. The pollution caused by chemicals, oil spills, and hazardous and toxic
Question : Directions: Which two signs should be interchanged to make the given equation correct? 588 ÷ 28 × 32 + 72 – 160 = 760
Option 1: – and +
Option 2: ÷ and –
Option 3: + and ×
Option 4: ÷ and +
Correct Answer: – and +
Solution : Given: 588 ÷ 28 × 32 + 72 – 160 = 760
Interchange the mathematical signs given in the equation with the signs given in the options one by one – First option: – and + ⇒ 588 ÷ 28 × 32 –

Option 2: Scientists cured AIDS by the year 2070.
Option 3: Scientists will cure AIDS by the year 2070.
Option 4: Scientists must have cured AIDS by the year 2070.
Correct Answer: Scientists will have cured AIDS by the year 2070.
Active voice emphasises the doer of the action, while passive voice emphasises the receiver. To convert passive to active, we make the subject perform the action and rephrase the
Question : A 1.6 m tall observer is 45 metres away from a tower. The angle of elevation from his eye to the top of the tower is 30°, then the height of the tower in metres is: (Take$\sqrt{3}=1.732$)
Option 1: 25.98
Option 2: 26.58
Option 3: 27.58
Option 4: 27.98
Correct Answer: 27.58
Solution : AB = Height of observer = 1.6 m. CD = Height of tower = $h$ m. ∴ DE = ($h$ – 1.6) m BC = AE = 45 metres $\angle$DAE = 30° From $\triangle$DAE, $\tan 30°=\frac{DE}{AE}$ ⇒ $\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}=\frac{h-1.6}{45}$ ⇒ $h-1.6=15\sqrt{3}$ ⇒ $h – 1.6 =
Question : $\cos ^2 35^{\circ}+\cos 55^{\circ} \cdot \sin 35^{\circ}+\frac{\tan 34^{\circ}}{\cot 56^{\circ}}=$________.
Option 1: 2
Option 2: 3
Option 3: 4
Option 4: 1
Correct Answer: 2
Solution : We know that $\sin \theta = \cos (90°-\theta)$ And, $\tan \theta = \cot (90°-\theta)$ So, $\cos ^2 35^{\circ}+\cos 55^{\circ} \cdot \sin 35^{\circ}+\frac{\tan 34^{\circ}}{\cot 56^{\circ}}$ = $\cos ^2 35^{\circ}+\cos (90^{\circ}-35^{\circ}) \cdot\sin 35^{\circ}+\frac{\tan(90^{\circ}- 56^{\circ})}{\cot 56^{\circ}}$ = $\cos ^2 35^{\circ}+\sin 35^{\circ} \cdot \sin 35^{\circ}+\frac{\cot 56^{\circ}}{\cot 56^{\circ}}$ = $\cos
Question : Which of the following is the lowest ratio?
Option 1: 8 : 19
Option 2: 15 : 38
Option 3: 17 : 38
Option 4: 13 : 19
Correct Answer: 15 : 38
Solution : Here, the LCM of the denominators of all the options is 38. So, $\frac{8}{19} = \frac{8×2}{19\times 2}=\frac{16}{38}$ $ \frac{15}{38} $, $ \frac{17}{38}$ $ \frac{13}{19}= \frac{13×2}{19\times 2}=\frac{26}{38}$ $\therefore$ 15 : 38 is the lowest ratio. Hence, the correct answer is 15 : 38.
Question : The difference between the compound interest (compounding half-yearly) for 1 year and the simple interest for 1 year on a certain sum lent out at the annual rate of 10% is Rs, 25. What is the sum?
Option 1: Rs. 12000
Option 2: Rs. 6000
Option 3: Rs. 8000
Option 4: Rs. 10000
Correct Answer: Rs. 10000
Solution : Given, Difference between compound interest and simple interest = Rs. 25, Annual interest rate = 10% We know, Compound Interest for 1 year = $P[(1 + \frac{r}{100})^n- 1]$, where $r$ is the annual interest rate and $n$ is the number of compounding periods. Simple
Question : Directions: In the following question, correct the equation by interchanging two signs. 6 + 8 ÷ 4 – 4 = 8
Option 1: ÷ and =
Option 2: ÷ and +
Option 3: ÷ and –
Option 4: + and –
Correct Answer: + and –
Solution : Given: 6 + 8 ÷ 4 – 4 = 8
Let's check the options – First option: ÷ and = 6 + 8 = 4 – 4 ÷ 8 LHS→6 + 8 = 14 RHS→4 – 4 ÷ 8 = 4 – 0.5
