Q:

Tilak rides on a cycle to a place at speed of 22 kmph and comes back at a speed of 20 kmph. If the time taken by him in the second case is 36 min. more than that of the first case, what is the total distance travelled by him (in km)?

A) 132 km B) 264 km
C) 134 km D) 236 km
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 264 km

Explanation:

Let the distance travelled by Tilak in first case or second case = d kms

Now, from the given data,

d/20 = d/22 + 36 min

=> d/20 = d/22 + 3/5 hrs

=> d = 132 km.

 

Hence, the total distance travelled by him = d + d = 132 + 132 = 264 kms.

Q:

In a box, there are 9 blue, 6 white and some black stones. A stone is randomly selected and the probability that the stone is black is ¼. Find the total number of stones in the box? 

A) 15 B) 18
C) 20 D) 24
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 20

Explanation:

We know that, Total probability = 1

Given probability of black stones = 1/4

=> Probability of blue and white stones = 1 - 1/4 = 3/4

But, given blue + white stones =  9 + 6 = 15

Hence,

3/4 ----- 15

 1   -----  ?

=> 15 x 4/3 = 20.

 

Hence, total number of stones in the box = 20.

Q:

Which reaction occurs spontaneously?

A) Cl2(g) + 2NaF(aq)--> F2(g) + 2NaCl(aq) B) I2(s) + 2NaF(aq)--> F2(g) + 2NaI(aq)
C) Cl2(g) + 2NaBr(aq)-->Br2(l) + 2NaCl(aq) D) I2(s) + 2NaBr(aq)--> Br2(l) + 2NaI(aq)
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Cl2(g) + 2NaBr(aq)-->Br2(l) + 2NaCl(aq)

Explanation:

In this chemical reaction chlorine change oxidation number from 0 to -1 (reduction) and bromine change oxidation number from -1 to 0 (oxidation).

Chlorine is stronger oxidation reagent than bromine.

In VIIA or group 17 (halogen elements) there are six elements: fluorine (F), chlorine (Cl), bromine (Br), iodine (I), astatine (At) and tennessin(Ts).

They have high electronegativity because they have seven valence electrons in their outermost energy level, so they can gain an electron to have the octet rule.  

Going down in the group, element are weaker oxidazing reagent and less reactive.
