Q:

An employee may claim Rs. 7.00 for each km when he travels by taxi and Rs. 6.00 for each km if he drives his own car. If in one week he claimed Rs. 595 for traveling 90 km. How many kms did he travel by taxi ?

A) 55 kms B) 35 kms
C) 25 kms D) 65 kms
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 55 kms

Explanation:

Let x and y be the respective km's travelled by man via taxi and by his own car.
Given x + y = 90 => x = 90 - y
But according to the question,
7x + 6y = 595
7(90-y) + 6y = 595
=> 630 - 7y + 6y = 595
=> y = 630 - 595 = 35
=> x = 90 - 35 = 55
Therefore, the distance travelled by taxi is 55 kms.

Q:

Find the quadratic equations whose roots are the reciprocals of the roots of 2x2+5x+3?

A)  3x2+5x+2=0   

B) 5x2+3x+2=0 

C) 3x2-5x-2=0   

D)  None



A) A B) B
C) C D) D
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) A

Explanation:

The quadratic equation whose roots are reciprocal of 2x2+5x+3=0 can be obtained by replacing x by 1/x.

 

Hence, 2(1/x)(1/x)+ 5(1/x) + 3 = 0

 

=> 3x2+5x+2=0

Q:

What is the angle made by the hour hand and the minute hand, if the clock shows 9:15 pm ?

A) 165 degrees B) 172.5 degrees
C) 112.5 degrees D) 125.5 degrees
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 172.5 degrees

Explanation:

The minute hand angle is the easiest since an hour (i.e. 60 minutes) corresponds to the entire 360 degrees, each minute must correspond to 6 degrees. So just multiply the number of minutes in the time by 6 to get the number of degrees for the minute hand.
Here 15 minutes corresponds to 15 x 6 = 90 degrees

Next, you have to figure out the angle of the hour hand. Since there are 12 hours in the entire 360 degrees, each hour corresponds to 30 degrees. But unless the time is EXACTLY something o'clock, you have to write the time as a fractional number of hours rather than as hours and minutes.
Here the time is 9:15 which is (9 + 15/60) = 37/4 hours. Since each hour corresponds to 30 degrees, we multiply 30 to get (37/4)(30) = 277.5 degrees.

Since the hour hand is at 277.5 degrees and the minute hand is at 90 degrees, we can subtract to get the angle of separation. 277.5 - 90 = 187.5 =~ 360 - 187.5 = 172.5 degrees.

Q:

Find the next number in the given number sequence

200, 200, 100, 300, 75, ?

A) 150 B) 175
C) 250 D) 375
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 375

Explanation:

The given number series is 200, 200, 100, 300, 75, ?

It follows a pattern that,

200

200 x 1 = 200

200 / 2 = 100

100 x 3 = 300

300 / 4 = 75

75 x 5 = 375

 

Hence, the next number in the given number sequence is 375.

Q:

Yellow colour of papaya is due to

A) Caricaxanthin B) Carotene
C) Lycopene D) Papain
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Caricaxanthin

Explanation:

Papayas are yellow due to the presence of carotene and xanthophyll pigments i.e, Caricaxanthin present in the chromoplasts of the fruit pulp.

 

The coloration of the different tissues in plants is due to the plastids which are present in the cells. Leucoplasts are white in colour, chloroplasts are green in colour and chromoplasts are of various colours. These plastids can take any colour at different time. Therefore, green fruits ( chloroplasts) turn colurful (chromoplasts) at maturity.
