Q:

The ratio of efficiencies of P, Q and R is 2 : 3 : 4. While P and R work on alternate days and Q work for all days. Now the work completed in total 10 days and the total amount they get is Rs. 1200. Find the amount of each person(respectively).

A) 200, 600, 400 B) 400, 600, 200
C) 600, 200, 400 D) 400, 200, 600
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 200, 600, 400

Explanation:

Ratio of efficiencies of P, Q and R = 2 : 3 : 4

From the given data,

Number of working days of P, Q, R = 5 : 10 : 5

Hence, ratio of amount of p, Q, R = 2x5 : 3x10 : 4x5 = 10 : 30 : 20

Amounts of P, Q, R = 200, 600 and 400.

Q:

Which of the following is an Abiotic factor?

A) Plants B) Water
C) Consumers D) Animals
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Water

Explanation:

Abiotic and biotic factors are what make up an ecosystem.

 

Abiotic factors are all nonliving components of an ecosystem. These factors include chemical and geological features such as water or lack of water, soil, rocks, and minerals. Other abiotic factors include physical components such as the temperature and weather affecting the ecosystem.


The biotic factors in an ecosystem include all living things. All plants, animals, fungi, protists, and bacteria within an ecosystem make up that system's biotic factors. The biotic factors can be broken down further into producers, consumers, and decomposers.

The biotic factors present in an ecosystem are highly dependent on the abiotic factors that are present. Even slight changes to either factor can have a major consequence upon the system as a whole.

Q:

The length of a class room floor exceeds its breadth by 25 m. The area of the floor remains unchanged when the length is decreased by 10 m but the breadth is increased by 8 m. The area of the floor is 

A) 5100 sq.m B) 4870 sq.m
C) 4987 sq.m D) 4442 sq.m
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 5100 sq.m

Explanation:

Let the breadth of floor be 'b' m.

Then, length of the floor is 'l = (b + 25)'

Area of the rectangular floor = l x b = (b + 25) × b

According to the question,

(b + 15) (b + 8) = (b + 25) × b

b2 + 8b + 15b + 120 = b2 + 25b

2b = 120

b = 60 m.

l = b + 25 = 60 + 25 = 85 m.

 

Area of the floor = 85 × 60 = 5100 sq.m.

Q:

Amith can row a boat d km upstream and the same distance downstream in 5 hours 15 minutes. Also, he can row the boat 2d km upstream in 7 hours. How long will it take to row the same distance 2d km downstream for Amith ?

A) 4 hrs 10 min B) 3 hrs 15 min
C) 3 hrs 30 min D) 4 hrs 1 min
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 3 hrs 30 min

Explanation:

Let the speed of boat and stream be x and y kmph respectively.

According to question

d/x+y + d/x-y = 5h 15m or 21/4 hrs ......(i)

and 2d/x-y = 7...... (ii)

From eq. (i) and (ii)

2d/x+y = 7/2

Hence, Amith will take to row 2d km distance downstream in 7/2 hrs

= 3.5 hrs

= 3 hrs 30 min.
