Q:

Karthik could cover a distance of 200 km in 22 days while resting for 2 hrs. per day. In how many days (approx) he will cover a distance of 250 km while resting for 2 hrs. per day and moving with 2/3rd of the previous speed ?

A) 41.25 days B) 37.5 days
C) 39.75 days D) 40 days
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 41.25 days

Explanation:

Given Karthik can cover the distance of 200 kms resting 2 hrs per day in 22 days.

 

Let the initial speed be '1'

 

Hence, Time = 22(24hrs - 2)

 

Noe new speed = 2/3

 

Let the number of days he take be 'D'

 

Therefore, 2224-2x3200=D24-2x2250

 

D = 11 x 3 x 5/4 = 41.25 days. = 41 1/4 days.

Terms transcription and translation in biology are generally related to the DNA and its properties. Human cells replicate. In order to do that, they have to produce the same constituents for the new cell that is to be made. The only way to do that is by producing proteins.

The proteins are produced in the process that is called protein synthesis. The first step is in the nucleus where a particular gene is being expressed so it enables all protein factors to come and to replicate that part of a chromosome. This is finished when mRNA, the same single-stranded genetic code of a particular gene, is formed. This is transcription.

Right after that, the mRNA enters the cytoplasm through nuclear pores. There, it could be translated into proteins by ribosomes. This process is called translation.

 

Hence, Transcription occurs in the nucleus, whereas translation occurs in the cytoplasm.

Q:

A box contains 5 green, 4 yellow and 5 white pearls. Four pearls are drawn at random. What is the probability that they are not of the same colour ?

A)  11/91

B)  4/11

C)  1/11

D) 90/91

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

Explanation:

Let S be the sample space. Then,
n(s) = number of ways of drawing 4 pearls out of 14


= C414 ways = 14×13×12×114×3×2×1= 1001


Let E be the event of drawing 4 pearls of the same colour.
Then, E = event of drawing (4 pearls out of 5) or (4 pearls out of 4) or (4 pearls out of 5)

  C15+ C44+ C15 = 5+1+5 =11

 P(E) = n(E)n(S)=111001=191  

 

 Required probability = 1-191=9091
