A) 400 B) 600
C) 900 D) 700

Q:

The oxidation number of Cr in K2Cr2O7 is

A) +6 B) -5
C) +3 D) -4
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) +6

Explanation:

We will rewrite the formula as an equation.

2K + 2Cr + 7O = 0

The zero comes from there being no overall charge on the compound.

Each oxidation number is represented by the element's symbol.

Since this compound is not a peroxide or superoxide, the oxidation value for O is -2

K being in group 1 has a +1 charge and therefore has an oxidation number of K is +1

Now, by putting known values in we have:

2(+1) + 2(Cr) + 7(-2) = 0

2 + 2Cr -14 = 0

2Cr = +12

Cr = +6.

Q:

Every year before the festive season, a brand store increases the price of the product by 42% and then introduce two successive discount of 10% and 11% respectively. What is percentage loss and percentage gain ?

A) 3.25% loss B) 13.742% loss
C) 3.25% gain D) 13.742% gain
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 13.742% gain

Explanation:

Let CP = 100,
42 % increase => SP = 142
10 % discount in SP => ((142 x 10)/100) = 14.2
So 1st SP = (142 - 14.2) = 127.8, again 12 % discount in 1st SP ((127.8 x 11)/100) = 14.058
2nd SP = (127.8 - 14.058) = 113.742,
So finally CP = 100, SP = 113.742, => gain = 13.742%.

A) 76% B) 77%
C) 78% D) 79%

Nani's weight = 0.9 x 2p = 1.8p kg
