A) Proteins B) Saturated fats
C) Phospholipids D) Lipids
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Proteins

Explanation:

Enzymes are protein macromolecules. Enzymes are almost always made of proteins only. Proteins are large biopolymer molecules that are made up of repeating monomer units called amino acids. There are 20 different common amino acids that make up proteins like enzymes. Of these, nine amino acids are essential, which means you must get them from your diet.


Enzymes catalyze chemical reactions in biological systems. This means that they speed up the rate of the reaction.

Q:

Three strategies P, Q and R have been initiated for cost cutting in a company producing respectively 20%, 30% and 10% savings. Assuming that they operate independently, what is the net saving achieved ?

A) 49.6% B) 50.4%
C) 33.67% D) 66.66%
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 49.6%

Explanation:

As these three strategies P, Q and R are independent so these will cut cost one after the other.
If initial cost is Rs 100, then
20% cost is cut after initializing strategy P, then cost will remain 80% = 80
further 30% cost is cut after strategy Q, then cost will remain 70% of 80 = 56
further 10% cost is cut after strategy R, then cost will remain 90% of 56 = 50.4

Thus final cost remains 50.4 % of the original cost. Hence net saving is 100 - 50.4 = 49.6 %.

Q:

Mohan spends 23% of an amount of money on an insurance policy, 33% on food, 19% on children’s education and 16% on recreation. He deposits the remaining amount of Rs. 504 in bank. How much amount does he spend on food and insurance policy together?

A) Rs. 2326 B) Rs. 5876
C) Rs. 1741 D) Rs. 3136
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Rs. 3136

Explanation:

Let total amount = Rs. P

Total expenditure = (23 + 33 + 19 + 16)% of P = 91%ofP

Remaining money = (100 - 91)% of P = 9% of P

But given in the question that,

9% of P = 504

9p/100 = 504

=> P = 50400/9

=> P = Rs. 5600

 

Required money spent on Food & Insurance = 23 + 33 %

= 56% of 5600

= 56 x 5600/100 = 56 x 56 = Rs. 3136

A) 2596 B) 1024
C) 256 D) 64
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 1024

Explanation:

Fruits reduced by 1/4.
Total no. of bags N = 5
Formula to find no. of fruits in 1st bag = 4^n
Last Bag = 4 fruits.
That means, 4th bag = 4 x 4 = 16 fruits
3rd bag = 16 x 4 = 64 fruits
2nd bag = 64 x 4 = 256 fruits
1st bag = 256 x 4= 1024 fruits.
