Q:

The reactivity of an atom arises from 

A) the existence of unpaired electrons in the valence shell B) the energy differences between the electron shells
C) the sum of the potential energies of all the electron shells D) the average distance of the outermost electron shell from the nucleus
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) the existence of unpaired electrons in the valence shell

Explanation:

When atoms react they do so in order to reach the lowest energy, which is the most stable. The electrons orbitals will overlap in the way that reduces the energy the most. Orbitals of similar energy will produce the greatest stabilisation.The answer you gave isn't the whole story, it depends what species is reacting with what. The effective nuclear charge on the atom will affect the energy of the valance electrons.

 

Hence, the reactivity of an atom arises from the existence of unpaired electrons in the valence shell.

Q:

How much does a clock lose per day, if its hands coincide ever 65 minutes ?

A) 1440/143 min B) 184/13 min
C) 1425/18 min D) 541/9 min
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 1425/18 min

Explanation:

55 min. spaces are covered in 60 min.
60 min. spaces are covered in ((60/55) x 60) min = 720/11 min.
Loss in 65 min. = (720/11 - 65 ) = 5/11
Loss in 24 hrs = (5/11 x 1/65 x 24 x 60)min = 1440/143 min.

Q:

A man has only 20-paise and 25-paise coins in a bag. If he has 50 coins in all totaling to Rs.10.25, then the number of 20-paise coins is 

A) 42 B) 45
C) 38 D) 36
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 45

Explanation:

Let number of 20 ps coins = x and

number of 25 ps coins = y

Given total coins in the bag = 50

x + y = 50.......(1)

But the total money in the bag = Rs. 10.25

0.20x + 0.25y = 10.25

20x + 25y = 1025.........(2)

Now multiplying (1) by 25 we get

25x+25y=1250.............(3)

By solving (2) and (3)

20x + 25y = 1025;

=> x = 45;

Then, the no. of 20 ps coins are 45.

Q:

If Laxmi is taller than Ramya but shorter than Susmitha and Ramya is as tall as Hema but taller than Avanthi, then Hema is :

A) shorter than Ramya B) taller than Avanthi
C) taller than susmitha D) shorter than Laxmi
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) shorter than Laxmi

Explanation:

As given, we have:

Susmitha > Laxmi > Ramya; Ramya = Hema, Ramya > Avanthi

Thus the sequence of heights becomes:

Susmitha > Laxmi > Ramya = Hema > Avanthi

Clearly, Hema is shorter than Laxmi.

Q:

A man spend 20% of his monthly salary on his children's education and 50% of his salary on food and transport. After Paying the rent of Rs.1000, he is left with Rs.2000. What is his monthly salary?

A) 7000 B) 10000
C) 14000 D) 20000
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 10000

Explanation:

Let his monthly salary be 'P'

20% on children's education = 20P100 = P5

50% on food and transport = 50P100 = P2

1000 on rent

=> P - P5 - P2 - 1000 = 2000=> 3P = 30000=> P = 10000

 

Therefore, his monthly salary = Rs. 10,000

Q:

Rs.1500 is divided into two parts such that if one part is invested at 6% and the other at 5% the whole annual interest from both the sum is Rs.85. How much was lent at 5% ?

A) 500 B) 600
C) 450 D) 550
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 500

Explanation:

Let the lent at 5% be 'A'

(A x 5 x 1)/100 + [(1500 - A)x 6 x 1]/100 = 85

5A/100 + 90 – 6A/100 = 85

A/100 = 5

=> A = 500
