Q:

A train-A passes a stationary train B and a pole in 24 sec and 9 sec respectively. If the speed of train A is 48 kmph, what is the length of train B?

A) 200 mts B) 180 mts
C) 160 mts D) 145 mts
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 200 mts

Explanation:

Length of train A = 48 x 9 x 5/18 = 120 mts

Length of train B = 48 x 24 x 5/18 - 120

=> 320 - 120 = 200 mts.

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 36

Explanation:

  LCD is nothing but Lowest or Least Common Denominator

 

Here LCD of 12 and 18 means LCD of two fractions with denominators 12 and 18 respectively.

 

Therefore, LCM of 12 & 18 = 6 x 3 x 2 = 36 

 

      •  How to calculate LCD ::


The lowest common denominator or least common denominator (LCD) is the least common multiple (LCM) of the denominators of a set of fractions.

Q:

Present ages of Deepa and Hyma are in the ratio of 5:6 respectively. After four years, this ratio becomes 6: 7. What is the difference between their present ages?

A) 6 yrs B) 4 yrs
C) 8 yrs D) 2 yrs
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 4 yrs

Explanation:

Let the present age of Deepa = 5p

Let the present age of Hyma = 6p

After four years their ratio = 6 : 7

=> 5p + 46p + 4 = 67

=> 35p + 28 = 36p + 24

=> p = 4

Therefore, the difference between their ages = 24 - 20 = 4 years.

Q:

Metals are good conductors of electricity because

A) The atoms are lightly packed B) They contain free electrons
C) They have high melting point D) All the above
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) They contain free electrons

Explanation:

Metal particles are held together by strong metallic bonds, which is why they have high melting and boiling points. The free electrons in metals can move through the metal, allowing metals to conduct electricity.

Because the electrons in the atom's higher energy levels can separate from the atoms easily, they can be pulled out with very little energy. Because the molecular structure of the metal is such that 'free electrons' are free to move, thus being categorized as electrically conductive.

 

For example, copper is used for electrical wiring because it is a good conductor of electricity.

Q:

The length, breadth and height of a room are in the ratio 7:3:1. If the breadth and height are doubled while the length is halved, then by what percent the total area of the 4 walls of the room will be increased  ?

A) 90% B) 88%
C) 85% D) 84%
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 90%

Explanation:

Let length, breadth and height of the room be 7, 3, 1 unit respectively.

Area of walls = 2(l+b)xh = 2(7+3)x1 = 20 sq. unit.

Now, length, breadth and height of room will become 3.5, 6 and 2 respectively. 

Area of walls = 2(l+b)xh = 2(3.5+6)x2 = 38 sq. unit. 

% Increase in the area of walls = (38-20)x100/20 = 90%.
