Q:

The marked price of an article is increased by 25% and the selling price is increased by 16.66%, then the amount of profit doubles. If the original marked price be Rs. 400 which is greater than the corresponding cost price by 33.33%, what is the increased selling price?

A) Rs. 380 B) Rs. 420
C) Rs. 460 D) Rs. 440
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Rs. 420

Explanation:

As given in the question, Marked price is 25% more than the Cost price.

=> C.P of the article = 34 x 400 = 300 

Now, 

Let the original S.P of the article be Rs. P

Now the new S.P = P + 16.666 +13.333300 x P 

=> S.P = 7P6

According to the question,

7P6 - 300 = 2P - 300

=> 5P = 1800

=> P = Rs. 360

Hence, the increased S.P = 360 x 7/6 = Rs. 420.

Q:

The probability that z lies between 0 and 3.01

A) 0.4987 B) 0.5
C) 0.9987 D) 0.1217
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 0.4987

Explanation:

Probability between z = 0 and z = 3.01 is given by

P(0<z<3.01) = P(z<3.01) - P(z<0)

Reading from the z-table, we have

P(z<0) = 0.5

P(z<3.01) = 0.9987

Hence, P(0<z<3.01) = 0.9987 - 0.5 = 0.4987.

Q:

A standing wave occurs when

A) a wave reflects upon itself B) the amplitude of a wave exceeds its wavelength
C) two waves overlap D) the speed of the wave is zero or near zero
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) a wave reflects upon itself

Explanation:

A standing wave also known as a stationary wave, is a wave in which its peaks or any other point on the wave do not move spatially.

This phenomenon can occur because the medium is moving in the opposite direction to the wave, or it can arise in a stationary medium as a result of interference between two waves traveling in opposite directions. The most common cause of standing waves is the phenomenon of resonance, in which standing waves occur inside a resonator due to interference between waves reflected back and forth at the resonator's resonant frequency.

 

Hence, standing wave occurs when a wave reflects upon itself.

Q:

Which compound is a nonelectrolyte?

A) C2H6O B) HCl
C) Na2CO3 D) NaCl
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) C2H6O

Explanation:

C2H6O is a Non-electrolyte.

 

An electrolyte is a compound that conducts an electric current when it is in an aqueous solution or melted. In order to conduct a current, a substance must contain mobile ions that can move from one electrode to the other. All ionic compounds are electrolytes. When ionic compounds dissolve, they break apart into ions which are then able to conduct a current ( conductivity ). Even insoluble ionic compounds such as CaCO 3 are electrolytes because they can conduct a current in the molten (melted) state.

 

A nonelectrolyte is a compound that does not conduct an electric current in either aqueous solution or in the molten state. Many molecular compounds, such as sugar or ethanol, are nonelectrolytes. When these compounds dissolve in water, they do not produce ions.

 

Electrolytes are of 3 types ---- Strong Electrolytes, Weak Electrolytes and Non Electrolytes.

 

Strong Electrolytes ---- Compounds which completely dissolves. ( NaCl, Na2Co3, HCl )

Weak Electrolytes ----- Compounds which do not completely dissolves.

Non Electrolytes ------ Compounds which do not dissolves at all.

Q:

Round robin scheduling falls under the category of

A) Preemptive scheduling B) Non preemptive scheduling
C) Both A & B D) None of the above
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Preemptive scheduling

Explanation:

Round-robin (RR) is one of the algorithms employed by process and network schedulers in computing. It falls under the category of Preemptive scheduling. In computing, the running task is interrupted for some time without requiring its cooperation and resumed later when the priority task has finished its execution. This is called preemptive scheduling.

Q:

R enter into a partnership in the ratio 2 : 3 : 5 . After 2 months, P increases his share 20% and Q by 10%. If the total profit at the end of one year is Rs 1,90,500, what amount will 'R' receive at the end of year as share in profit ?

A) Rs. 90500 B) Rs. 87500
C) Rs. 88900 D) Rs. 90000
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Rs. 90000

Explanation:

Ratio of investments for 1 year

=> (P : Q : R) = (2x2 + 2.4x10) : (3x2 + 3.3x10) : (5x12)

=> (P : Q : R) = 28 : 39 : 60

Now R share = 190500 x 60/127 = Rs. 90000.
