Q:

Sony is one-fifth the age of her mother 15 years ago and Sony’s brother is three-fifth the age of his mother 10 years ago. If the sum of Sony and her brother’s ages is 31 then how old is Sony's mother ? 

A) 40 B) 50
C) 60 D) 70
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 50

Explanation:

Sony and her brother's age sum is 31
Let Sony's mother's age be 'x'.
Now the conditions given for both of their ages related to their mom is
1/5(x-15) + 3/5(x-10) = 31
x-15 + 3x-30 = 155
4x-45 = 155
4x = 200
x = 50
So, Mother's age = 50.

Cross verification : 15 years ago age = 35 => Sony age = 7
10 years ago age = 40 => bro age = 24

Sum = 24 + 7 = 31.

How to check the given molecules are polar or non polar :

If the electronegativity of the two bonded atoms are different then the bond is polar. Although, some molecules contain polar bonds, the molecule may be non-polar. If the polarity of all the bonds present in the molecule are cancel each other then molecule is non-polar.

 

In the given options,

SO2  is polar because the dipole moments on the O do not cancel.

PCl3  is polar because the P-Cl bonds do not cancel out.

CH2Cl2  polar because the C-Cl bonds do not cancel.

 

Hence, in brief, Polar molecules are molecules with net dipole due to the presence of partial positive and partial negative charge.

For example, water is a polar molecule that has partial positive and partial negative charge on it. CO2 is a non polar compound.

 

Therefore, all the given options SO2, CH2Cl2 and PCl3 are Polar molecules.

Q:

What holds the sides of the DNA ladder together?

A) Polar covalent bonds B) Ionic bonds
C) Metallic bonds D) Covalent bonds
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Covalent bonds

Explanation:

Deoxyribose, which is a pentose, and a phosphate group are the two molecules together form the two sides of the DNA i.e, A sugar (deoxyribose) and a phosphate.

DNA is a double-stranded molecule twisted into a helix (think of a spiral staircase). Each spiraling strand, comprised of a sugar-phosphate backbone and attached bases, is connected to a complementary strand by non-covalent hydrogen bonding between paired bases. The bases are adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C) and guanine (G). A and T are connected by two hydrogen bonds. G and C are connected by three hydrogen bonds.

Q:

If a man buys 1 lt of milk for Rs.12 and mixes it with 20% water and sells it for Rs.15, then what is the percentage of gain ?

A) 25% B) 30%
C) 17% D) 19%
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 25%

Explanation:

He has gain = 15 - 12 = 3,
Gain% = (3/12) x 100 = (100/4) = 25.
He has 25% gain.

Q:

If 6 men and 3 boys working together, can do four times as much work per hour as a man and a boy together. Find the ratio of the work done by a man and that of a boy for a given time  ?

A) 1 : 2 B) 2 : 1
C) 3 : 1 D) 1 : 3
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 1 : 2

Explanation:

6M + 3B = 4(1M + 1B)
6M + 3B = 4M + 4B
2M = 1B

M/B = 1/2
