Q:

Calculate the number of bricks, each measuring 25 cm x 15 cm x 8 cm required to construct a wall of dimensions 10 m x 4 cm x 6 m when 10% of its volume is occupied by mortar  ?

A) 720 B) 600
C) 660 D) 6000
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 720

Explanation:

Let the number of bricks be 'N'

10 x 4/100 x 6 x 90/100 = 25/100 x 15/100 x 8/100 x N

10 x 4 x 6 x 90 = 15 x 2 x N => N = 720.

C) 360 D) 36
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 45

Explanation:

16200 = 23×34×52

 

A perfect cube has a property of having the indices of all its prime factors divisible by 3.

 

Required number = 32×5 = 9x5 = 45.

Q:

Sixty men can stitch 150 shirts in 30 days working 8 hours a day. In how many days can 35 men stitch 200 shirts working 6 hours a day ?

A) 87.5 B) 89
C) 91.5 D) 93.5
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 91.5

Explanation:

We have M1 D1 H1 / W1 = M2 D2 H2 / W2 (Variation rule)
(60 x 30 x 8)/ 150 = (35 x D2 x 6) / 200
D2 = (60 x 30 x 8 x 200) / (150 x 35 x 6) => D2 = 91.42 days =~ 91.5 days.

Q:

Which solution has the highest pH?

A) 50.0 mL 0.0500 M calcium hydroxide, Ca(OH)2 (aq) B) 50.0 mL 0.0500 M sodium hydroxide, NaOH (aq)
C) 50.0 mL 0.0500 M nitric acid, HNO3 (aq) D) 50.0 mL 0.0500 M nitrous acid, HNO2 (aq)
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 50.0 mL 0.0500 M calcium hydroxide, Ca(OH)2 (aq)

Explanation:

50.0 mL 0.0500 M calcium hydroxide, Ca(OH)2 (aq) has the highest pH value.

Sodium hydroxide and Calcium hydroxide are strong bases so they completely ionize in solution. Because they ionize at the same rate, and Calcium hydroxide has the higher pH calculated, then Calcium hydroxide, in fact, has the highest pH.

Nitric acid is a strong acid, so it completely ionizes in water. Whilst nitrous acid is a weak acid. Therefore, the nitric acid solution has the LOWEST ph.

Q:

Solve the value of D?

Answer

A + B = 15 .... (1)


B x C = 84 .... (2)


C ÷ 4 = 3  .... (3)


B + D = 18 .... (4)


From (3), we get C = 12


From (2), we get B = 84/12 = 7


From (1), we get A = 15 - 7 = 8


From (4), we get D = 18 - 7 = 11


 


Hence, D = 11.

Q:

A box contains 4 different black balls, 3 different red balls and 5 different blue balls. In how many ways can the balls be selected if every selection must have at least 1 black ball and one red ball ?

A) 24 - 1  

B) 2425-1   

C) (24-1)(23-1)25   

D) None 

A) A B) B
C) C D) D
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) C

Explanation:

It is explicitly given that all the 4 black balls are different, all the 3 red balls are different and all the 5 blue balls are different. Hence this is a case where all are distinct objects.

 

Initially let's find out the number of ways in which we can select the black balls. Note that at least 1 black ball must be included in each selection.

 

Hence, we can select 1 black ball from 4 black balls
or 2 black balls from 4 black balls.
or 3 black balls from 4 black balls.
or 4 black balls from 4 black balls.

 

Hence, number of ways in which we can select the black balls

 

= 4C1 + 4C2 + 4C3 + 4C4
= 24-1 ........(A)

 

Now let's find out the number of ways in which we can select the red balls. Note that at least 1 red ball must be included in each selection.

 

Hence, we can select 1 red ball from 3 red balls
or 2 red balls from 3 red balls
or 3 red balls from 3 red balls

 

Hence, number of ways in which we can select the red balls
= 3C1 + 3C2 + 3C3
=23-1........(B)

 

Hence, we can select 0 blue ball from 5 blue balls (i.e, do not select any blue ball. In this case, only black and red balls will be there)
or 1 blue ball from 5 blue balls
or 2 blue balls from 5 blue balls
or 3 blue balls from 5 blue balls
or 4 blue balls from 5 blue balls
or 5 blue balls from 5 blue balls.

 

Hence, number of ways in which we can select the blue balls
= 5C0 + 5C1 + 5C2 + … + 5C5
= 25..............(C)

 

From (A), (B) and (C), required number of ways
=  2524-123-1
