Q:

Consider the following statements:

1) An isosceles trapezium is always cyclic.

2) Any cyclic parallelogram is a rectangle.

Which of the above statements is/are correct?

A) 1 only B) 2 only
C) Both 1 and 2 D) Neither 1 nor 2
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Both 1 and 2

Explanation:

Since it is an isosceles trapezium

So angle C = angle D = x

let A = 180 –D = 180 –x (since AB is parallel to CD)

B = 180-x

A+C = 180 –x + x = 180 degrees (Property of cyclic quadrilateral)

ABCD is cyclic parallelogram with AB // CD and AD // BC

Considering angles A = C = y (Property of parallelogram) and B=D = x Also since it is cyclic A+C = B+D = 180 degrees

So x=y=90 degrees And also opposite sides are equal being a parallelogram

Thus ABCD is a rectangle

Q:

A rectangular lawn 55m by 35m has two roads each 4m wide running in the middle of it. One parallel to the length and the other parallel to breadth. The cost of graveling the roads at 75 paise per sq meter is

A) rs.58 B) rs.158
C) rs.258 D) rs.358
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) rs.258

Explanation:

area of cross roads = (55 x 4) + (35 x 4)- (4 x 4) = 344sq m

cost of graveling = 344 x  (75/100) = Rs. 258

Q:

Consider the following statements about impact of tax :

1. A tax is shifted forward to consumers if the demand is inelastic relative to supply.

2. A tax is shifted backward to producers if the supply is relatively more inelastic than demand.

Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

 

A) 1 only B) 2 only
C) Both 1 and 2 D) Neither 1 nor 2
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Both 1 and 2

Explanation:

Only if either demand or supply was either completely elastic or inelastic will the tax burden fall entirely on either the buyer or the seller. Between these 2 extremes, tax incidence varies continuously from a perfectly inelastic supply or perfectly elastic demand, where the sellers assumes the entire burden of the tax to the perfectly elastic supply or perfectly inelastic demand where the buyers bear the entire burden. To better see how the elasticity of supply and demand affects tax incidence, consider a 20% tax on a can of soda. Suppose the government decides that the buyer should pay the 20% tax. Does this mean that the buyers will be paying 20% more, or will sellers have to share some of the tax burden? Since higher prices decrease demand, regardless of the reason for the higher prices, sellers will share some of the burden. How much of the burden will be determined by the elasticity of supply and demand for the product?

Q:

In a row, Kumar is at 7th place from the left and Pawan is at 9th place from the right. When they interchange the positions Kumar becomes 11th from left. How many were seated in the row ?

A) 19 B) 20
C) 21 D) 27
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 19

Explanation:

Initialy from left 7th = kumar
from right 9th = pawan
Interchange kumar = 11th from left, from right kumar = 9th;
11+8 = 19;
8 is 1,2,3,4,5,6,7(pawan),8,9,10,11(kumar),12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19;
simply count the 9th place from right we will get total as 19.
