Q:

Three numbers are in the ratio of 3:4:5 and their L.C.M is 3600.Their HCF is:

A) 40 B) 60
C) 100 D) 120
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 60

Explanation:

Let the numbers be 3x, 4x, 5x.

 

Then, their L.C.M = 60x.

 

So, 60x=3600 or x=60.

 

Therefore,  The numbers are (3 x 60), (4 x 60), (5 x 60).

 

Hence,required H.C.F=60

Q:

Three taps P, Q and R can fill a tank in 12 hrs, 15 hrs and 20 hrs respectively. If P is open all the time and Q and R are open for one hour each alternately, starting with Q, then the tank will be full in how many hours ?

A) 9 hrs B) 7 hrs
C) 13 hrs D) 11 hrs
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 7 hrs

Explanation:

Given,

P can fill in 12 hrs

Q can fill in 15 hrs

R can fill in 20 hrs

=> Volume of tank = LCM of 12, 15, 20 = 60 lit

=> P alone can fill the tank in 60/12 = 5 hrs

=> Q alone can fill the tank in 60/15 = 4 hrs

=> R alone can fill the tank in 60/20 = 3 hrs

Tank can be filled in the way that

(P+Q) + (P+R) + (P+Q) + (P+R) + ....

=> Tank filled in 2 hrs = (5+4) + (5+3) = 9 + 8 = 17 lit

=> In 6 hrs = 17 x 6/2 = 51 lit

=> In 7th hr = 51 + (5+4) = 51 + 9 = 60 lit

=> So, total tank will be filled in 7 hrs.

A) 2 x (17!) B) 2 x (18!)
C) (3!) x (18!) D) (17!)
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 2 x (18!)

Explanation:

A person can be chosen out of 18 people in 18 ways to be seated between Musharraf and Manmohan. Now consider Musharraf, Manmohan, and the third person, sitting between them, as a single personality, we can arrange them in 17! ways but Musharraf and Manmohan can also be arranged in 2 ways. 

 

Required number of permutations = 18 x (17!) x 2 = 2 x 18!

Q:

Which Noble Gas has the highest First Ionization Energy?

A) Neon B) Helium
C) Argon D) Xenon
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Helium

Explanation:

Helium has the highest First Ionization Energy in the Noble Gases group.

Ionization Energy ::

Ionisation energy is the energy required to remove one mole of electrons from one mole of gaseous atoms. Atoms are more stable when they have full valence shells.

Noble Gases have a very stable electron configuration, therefore, they have the highest amount of ionization energy within their periods. It decreases down a family because electrons farther from the nucleus are easier to remove.

Ionization Energy levels of Noble Gases group in Descending Order :: He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe, Rn
