Q:

0 divided by 0

A) 0 B) 1
C) Undefined D) Indeterminate
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Indeterminate

Explanation:

Indeterminate are those,which mathematics can’t determine.

Because we don’t actually know which one is the exact answer for this due to having lots of results for this.

Explanation::

      • Let us think by this analogy that,

0 / 1 = 0

0 / 2 = 0

…………

………..

we can say 0 / n = 0 from this we can write, 0/0 = 0

      • Again, another analogy,(from limiting concept of 1/0 = infinity)

1 / 0 = + or -

2 /0 = + or -

………

.…….

we can say 0 / 0 = 

      • Again, another analogy,

1 / 1 = 1

2/2 = 1

.……..

………..

we can say, 0/0 = 1

Now, you see it’s confusing. Every analog is mathematically correct then which one is the right answer for 0/0.  Therefore Mathematics can’t determine this fact.

So, 0/0 is indeterminate.

Q:

A train travels 360 km at a uniform speed. If the speed had been 5 km/h more, it would have taken 1 hour less for the same journey. Find the speed of the train?
     

A) 42 kmph B) 43 kmph
C) 40 kmph D) 45 kmph
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 40 kmph

Explanation:

We know that,  Speed = Distance/time

 

Let the speed of the train be = x kmph

           NORMAL SPEED                           SPEED 5 KMPH MORE

          Distance = 360 Km                         Distance =360
 
          speed    =  X Kmph                        Speed = (x+5)
 
            Time =360/X                              Time =360/(x+15)
          

 

For the same journey if the speed increased 10 kmph more it will take 1 hour less

 


Time with original speed - time with increased speed = 1

 => (360/x) - (360/x+10) =  1                               

 =>  (360(x+5)-360x)/x(x+5) =1

 =>   360X + 1800 -360X  = X(X+5)

  =>   X^2 + 5x - 1800 = 0

  X = 40 or -45

 X cannot be negetive value
                  

 X = 40 kmph.

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) N2O4

Explanation:

Molecular compounds are those with covalent bonds between the elements and those elements are typically non metals.

 

Here in the given options, Ar is an element. NaI has an ionic bond. Hence, N2O4 has a covalent bond between the two non metals and is a molecular compound.

Q:

A and B entered into a partnership with Rs.800 and Rs.1600 respectively. From 9th months onward they each decided to invest Rs.100 more on starting of each month. If total annual profit is Rs.7700 then find the profit share of A.

A) Rs.2550 B) Rs.3200
C) Rs.2650 D) Rs.2450
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Rs.2650

Explanation:

A : B = (800 × 8+ 900+ 1000+ 1100+ 1200): (1600 × 8+ 1700+ 1800+ 1900+ 2000)
A : B = 53 : 101
Profit of A ⇒ 7700 ×53/154 = 2650 Rs.
