Question : Two pipes, S1 and S2, can alone fill an empty tank in 15 hours and 20 hours, respectively. Pipe S3 alone can empty that filled tank in 40 hours. Firstly, both pipes, S1 and S2, are opened and after 2 hours, pipe S3 is also opened. In how much time will the tank be filled after S3 is opened?
Option 1: $\frac{90}{17}\ \text{hours}$
Option 2: $\frac{89}{12}\ \text{hours}$
Option 3: $\frac{90}{13}\ \text{hours}$
Option 4: $\frac{92}{11}\ \text{hours}$
Correct Answer: $\frac{92}{11}\ \text{hours}$
Solution : Let the capacity of the tank be 120 units (LCM of 15, 20, and 40) Pipe A fills = $\frac{120}{15}$ = 8 units per hour Pipe B fills = $\frac{120}{15}$ = 6 units per hour Pipe C empties = $\frac{120}{40}$ = 3 units per hour A and B in 2 hours fill (8 + 6) × 2 units of the tank = 28 units of the tank Remaining units of the tank to be filled = 120 – 28 = 92 units/hour After 2 hours, C joins. So, units of the tank filled by A, B, and C = (8 + 6 – 3) = 11 units/hour So, the time needed to fill the remaining tank = $\frac{92}{11}$ hours Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{92}{11}\ \text{hours}$.
Question : Washing of peeled vegetables removes the vitamin
Option 1: A
Option 2: C
Option 3: D
Option 4: E
Correct Answer: C
Solution : The correct option is Vitamin C.
Some vitamin C is lost when vegetables are washed. Because vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin, it dissolves in water. When you wash vegetables, part of the vitamin C is washed away. The quantity of vitamin C lost during washing is determined by several factors, including the kind of vegetable, the length of time it is washed, and the temperature of the water. Leafy vegetables, such as spinach and kale, lose more vitamin C than root vegetables, such as carrots and potatoes.
Question : If the amount is $3\frac{3}{8}$ times the sum after 3 years at compound interest compounded annually, then the Rate of interest per annum is:
Option 1: $25$%
Option 2: $50$%
Option 3: $16\frac{2}{3}$%
Option 4: $33\frac{1}{3}$
Correct Answer: $50$%
Solution : Let the principal be Rs. $x$. Rate of interest = R% Time = 3 years Amount = $3\frac{3}{8}=3.375x$ We know, $\text{Total amount}=\text{Principal}×(1+\frac{\text{Rate}}{100})^{\text{Time}}$ $⇒3.375x = x(1 + \frac{R}{100})^{3}$ $⇒3.375 =(1 + \frac{R}{100})^{3}$ $⇒(1 + \frac{R}{100})^{3} = (1.5)^{3}$ $⇒(1 + \frac{R}{100}) = (1.5)$ $⇒\frac{R}{100}=0.5$ $\therefore R=50$% Hence, the correct answer is $50$%.

Question : If $14 : 30 :: 7 : x$, then what is the value of $x$?
Option 1: 15
Option 2: 21
Option 3: 9
Option 4: 12
Correct Answer: 15
Solution : $14 : 30 :: 7 : x$ ⇒ $\frac{14}{30}=\frac{7}{x}$ ⇒ $x = \frac{7\times 30}{14}$ ⇒ $x= 15$ Hence, the correct answer is 15.
Question : The perimeter of an isosceles triangle is 100 cm. If the base is 36 cm, find its semi-perimeter (in centimetres).
Option 1: 64 cm
Option 2: 60 cm
Option 3: 45 cm
Option 4: 50 cm
Correct Answer: 50 cm
Solution : Semi-perimeter of a triangle $= (\frac{\text{Perimeter}}{2})$ = $\frac{100}{2}$ = 50 cm Hence, the correct answer is 50 cm.
Question : The length, breadth, and height of a wooden box with a lid are 10 cm, 9 cm, and 7 cm, respectively. The total inner surface of the closed box is 262 cm2. The thickness of the wood (in cm) is:
Option 1: $2$
Option 2: $3$
Option 3: $\frac{23}{3}$
Option 4: $1$
Correct Answer: $1$
Solution : Given: Inner surface area = 262 cm2 The length, breadth, and height are 10 cm, 9 cm, and 7 cm, respectively. Let the thickness of the wood be $x$ cm. Surface area of the cuboid = 2(length × breadth + length × height + breadth × height) Area of inner surface $= 2(9 - 2x)(10 - 2x) + 2(9 -2x)(7 - 2x) + 2(10- 2x)(7 - 2x)$ $⇒ 262 = 2(9 - 2x)(10 - 2x) + 2(9 -2x)(7 - 2x) + 2(10 - 2x)(7- 2x)$ Putting the value of $x = 1,$ the above equation is satisfied. Hence, the correct answer is $1$.
