Question : A man rows to a place 48 km distance and comes back in 14 hours. He finds that he can row 4 km with the stream at the same time as 3 km against the stream. The speed of the stream is:
Option 1: 1.5 km/h
Option 2: 3.5 km/h
Option 3: 1.8 km/h
Option 4: 1 km/h
Correct Answer: 1 km/h
Solution : Suppose he moves 4 km downstream in $x$ hours. ⇒ Speed downstream =$\frac{4}{x}$ km/hr And, speed upstream =$\frac{3}{x}$ km/hr According to the question, $\frac{48}{\frac{4}{x}}+\frac{48}{\frac{3}{x}}=14$ ⇒ $\frac{48x}{4}+\frac{48x}{3}=14$ ⇒ $\frac{144x+192x}{12}=14$ ⇒ $336x=168$ ⇒ $x=\frac{168}{336}=\frac{1}{2}$ ⇒ Speed downstream = 8 km/hr And, speed upstream = 6 km/hr.
Question : If $x$ = ${\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}+1}}$, then the value of $(x^{2}+2x–1)$ is:
Option 1: $\sqrt[2]{2}$
Option 2: 4
Option 3: 0
Option 4: 2
Correct Answer: 0
Solution : Given: $x= {\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}+1}}$ Rationalising the denominator, we get, ⇒ $x ={\frac{{\sqrt{2}-1}}{(\sqrt{2}+1)×{(\sqrt{2}-1)}}}=\frac{\sqrt{2}-1}{2-1} = {\sqrt{2}-1}$ Putting this value in the expression $(x^{2}+2x-1)$, we get, $=[(\sqrt{2}-1)^{2}+2(\sqrt{2}-1)-1]$ $=2-2\sqrt{2}+1+2\sqrt{2}-2-1 $ $= 0$ Hence, the correct answer is 0.
Question : ABC is an isosceles right-angled triangle with $\angle$B = 90°. On the sides AC and AB, two equilateral triangles ACD and ABE have been constructed. The ratio of the area of $\triangle$ABE and $\triangle$ACD is:
Option 1: $1 : 3$
Option 2: $2 : 3$
Option 3: $1 : 2$
Option 4: $1 : \sqrt{2}$
Correct Answer: $1 : 2$
Solution : Given: $\angle$ABC = 90°, AB = BC In $\triangle$ABC, AC2 = AB2 + BC2 = AB2 + AB2 = 2AB2 Since, $\triangle$ACD $\sim$ $\triangle$ABE, $\frac{\text{area of} \triangle ABE}{\text{area of} \triangle ACD}=\frac{AB^2}{AC^2}$ ⇒ $\frac{\text{area of} \triangle ABE}{\text{area of}

Question : Directions: Select the correct combination of mathematical signs to sequentially replace the * signs and balance the given equation. 12 * 4 * 15 * 3 * 16 * 24
Option 1: +, –, ÷, ×, =
Option 2: –, +, ÷, ×, =
Option 3: ÷, –, +, ×, =
Option 4: ÷, +, ÷, +, =
Correct Answer: ÷, +, ÷, +, =
Solution : Given: 12 * 4 * 15 * 3 * 16 * 24
Replace * with the mathematical signs and solve the equations one by one using BODMAS. Let's check the given options – First option: +, –, ÷, ×, = ⇒
Question : If $6 \cot \theta=5$, then find the value of $\frac{(6 \cos \theta+\sin \theta)}{(6 \cos\theta-4 \sin\theta)}$
Option 1: 5
Option 2: 1
Option 3: 6
Option 4: 0
Correct Answer: 6
Solution : $6 \cot \theta = 5$ ⇒ $\cot \theta = \frac{5}{6}$ Now, $\frac{(6 \cos \theta+\sin \theta)}{(6 \cos \theta-4\sin \theta)}$ Dividing numerator and denominator by $\sin \theta$ in the above expression ⇒ $\frac{(6 \cos \theta+\sin \theta)}{(6 \cos \theta-4\sin \theta)}=\frac{(6\cot \theta + 1)}{(6\cot \theta-4)}$ $=\frac{6 \times \frac{5}{6} +
Question : What is the value of $\frac{\sqrt{7}+\sqrt{5}}{\sqrt{7}–\sqrt{5}} \div \frac{\sqrt{14}+\sqrt{10}}{\sqrt{14}–\sqrt{10}}+\frac{\sqrt{10}}{\sqrt{5}}$?
Option 1: $\sqrt{2}+2$
Option 2: $2 \sqrt{2}+2$
Option 3: $\sqrt{2}+1$
Option 4: $2 \sqrt{2}+1$
Correct Answer: $\sqrt{2}+1$
Solution : Given: The expression is $\frac{\sqrt{7}+\sqrt{5}}{\sqrt{7}–\sqrt{5}} \div \frac{\sqrt{14}+\sqrt{10}}{\sqrt{14}–\sqrt{10}}+\frac{\sqrt{10}}{\sqrt{5}}$. Take $\sqrt2$ common in the term $\frac{\sqrt{14}+\sqrt{10}}{\sqrt{14}–\sqrt{10}}$, we get, $\frac{\sqrt{14}+\sqrt{10}}{\sqrt{14}–\sqrt{10}}=\frac{\sqrt2}{\sqrt2}\times\frac{\sqrt{7}+\sqrt{5}}{\sqrt{7}–\sqrt{5}}=\frac{\sqrt{7}+\sqrt{5}}{\sqrt{7}–\sqrt{5}}$ The expression can be written as $\frac{\sqrt{7}+\sqrt{5}}{\sqrt{7}–\sqrt{5}} \div\frac{\sqrt{7}+\sqrt{5}}{\sqrt{7}–\sqrt{5}} +\frac{\sqrt{10}}{\sqrt{5}}$ = $\frac{\sqrt{7}+\sqrt{5}}{\sqrt{7}–\sqrt{5}} \times\frac{\sqrt{7}–\sqrt{5}}{\sqrt{7}+\sqrt{5}} +\frac{\sqrt{10}}{\sqrt{5}}$ = $1+\sqrt2$ = ${\sqrt{2}}+1$ Hence, the correct answer is ${\sqrt{2}}+1$.
Question : ______ is characterized by abundant dissolved oxygen, sunlight, nutrients, generally high wave energies and water motion and in the intertidal subzone, alternating submergence and exposure.
Option 1: The Lentic Zone
Option 2: The Limnetic Zone
Option 3: The Littoral Zone
Option 4: The Benthic Zone
Correct Answer: The Littoral Zone
Solution : The correct option is The Littoral Zone.
The Littoral Zone is a region of the sea that is characterised by an abundance of dissolved oxygen, sunlight, nutrients, high wave energies and water motion. The intertidal subzone of the Littoral Zone experiences tidal
Question : Directions: Select the option that is related to the fifth number in the same way as the second number is related to the first number and the fourth number is related to the third number. 16 : 45 :: 36 : 105 :: 49 : ?
Option 1: 142
Option 2: 152
Option 3: 147
Option 4: 144
Correct Answer: 144
