Two numbers are in the ration 3 : 5. If the sum of their squares is 2176, find the sum of the two numbers.1. 642. 683. 604. 56 |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : 64 Given: The ratio of numbers = 3 ∶ 5 Sum of their squares = 2176 Calculation: Let the numbers be 3x and 5x. The squares of the numbers are 9x2 and 25x2 respectively. Sum of squares = 9x2 + 25x2 = 2176 34x2 = 2176 Or, x2 = 64 Then, x = 8 Sum of the numbers = 3x + 5x = 8x = 64 ∴ The sum of the numbers is 64. |

Profit of Rs. 20,000 has to be divided between three partners Raju, Ravi, and Rohan in the ratio 8 ∶ 14 ∶ 3. How much amount (in Rs) does Ravi get?1. Rs. 14,8002. Rs. 11,2003. Rs. 12,5004. Rs. 14,000 |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : Rs. 11,200 Given: The profit amount = Rs. 20,000 The Profit ratio of Raju, Ravi, and Rohan = 8 ∶ 14 ∶ 3 Calculations: Profit gets by Ravi = (20,000/25) × 14 = Rs. 11,200 ∴ The profit gets by Ravi is Rs. 11,200 |

Three different containers contain 420, 520 and 720 liters of liquid respectively. Then the maximum capacity of container through which we can measure the liquid of all three containers will be?1. 10 liters2. 20 liters3. 15 liters4. 30 liters |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 20 liters Given: Three containers contain 420, 520 and 720 liters of liquid respectively. Calculation: We need to calculate the HCF of liquid present in containers. ∴ Highest common factor of 420, 520 and 720 = 20 So, we need 20 liters capacity container to measure the liquid present in all three containers. |

Two numbers are in ratio of 5 : 8, If their difference is 48, then the smaller number is:1. 642. 803. 964. 128 |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 80 Given: Ratio of numbers = 5 ∶ 8 Their difference = 48 Concept used: Using the concept of ratio Calculation: Let the numbers are 5x and 8x. According to the question, 8x - 5x = 48 ⇒ 3x = 48 ⇒ x = 16 Smaller number = 5x ⇒ Smaller number = 80 ∴ The smaller number is 80. |

A sum of Rs. 4,360 was to be divided among A, B, C and D in the ratio 3 ∶ 4 ∶ 5 ∶ 8, but it was divided in the ratio \(\dfrac{1}{3} : \dfrac{1}{4} : \dfrac{1}{5} : \dfrac{1}{8}\) by mistake. Which of the following statements will hold true as a result? 1. B received Rs. 318 less2. D received Rs. 1,144 more3. A received Rs. 9564. C received Rs. 130 less |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : C received Rs. 130 less Given: Total sum = Rs. 4360 Ratio of A, B, C and D = 3 ∶ 4 ∶ 5 ∶ 8 By mistake taken ratio of A, B, C and D = (1/3) ∶ (1/4) ∶ (1/5) ∶ (1/8) Concept Used: Ratio method used here. Calculation: Let amount divided among A, B, C and D be 3x, 4x, 5x and 8x. According to the question, 3x + 4x + 5x + 8x = 4360 ⇒ 20x = 4360 ⇒ x = 218 Amount A got = 3x = 3 × 218 = 654 Amount B got = 4x = 4 × 218 = 872 Amount C got = 5x = 5 × 218 = 1090 Amount D got = 8x = 8 × 218 = 1744 In the given question ratio taken wrong So, new ratio = (1/3) ∶ (1/4) ∶ (1/5) ∶ (1/8) To change fraction ratio into simple ratio by taking LCM of denominator LCM of 3, 4, 5 and 8 is is 120. New ratio = [(1/3) × 120] ∶ [(1/4) × 120] ∶ [(1/5) × 120] ∶ [(1/8) × 120] ⇒ Required ratio = 40 ∶ 30 ∶ 24 ∶ 15 Let the mistake ratio be 40y, 30y, 24y and 15y. 40y + 30y + 24y + 15y = 4360 ⇒ 109y = 4360 ⇒ y = 40 New amount A received = 40y = 40 × 40 = 1600 New amount B received = 30y = 30 × 40 = 1200 New amount C received = 24y = 24 × 40 = 960 New amount D received = 15y = 15 × 40 = 600 So, C got = 1090 – 960 = 130 ∴ Option D is right C has 130 less. |

Five years ago, the ages of Bali and Geeta were in the ratio of 3 : 4 respectively. Ten years hence the respective ratio of their ages will be 6 : 7. What is the difference between their present ages?1. 72. 23. 54. 10 |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : 5 Let the age of Bali five years ago be 3x years, and Let the age of Geeta five years ago be 4x years, So, their present ages are (3x + 5) and (4x + 5), respectively. Also, there ages 10 years hence will be (3x + 15) and (4x + 15), respectively. According to the question, we have: (3x + 15)/(4x + 15) = 6/7 On solving for x, we get: x = 5 years So, the required difference = 4x + 5 – (3x + 5) = 5 ∴ The difference between their present ages is 5 years. |

Write a speech to be delivered in the school’s morning assembly on the troubles created by traffic jams in about 100 words. You are Shruti, a student of class XII. |
|
Answer» Troubles Of Traffic Jams Honourable Principal, respected teachers and my dear friends! I am Shruti, a student of class XII. Today, I want to throw light upon the havoc created by a traffic jam for all. Jam is caused when vehicles are driven randomly. Many times people drive on the wrong side to save a little time. Parking facility is also not available at shops, so in those cases, the vehicles are parked on roads and further complicate the web. आदरणीय प्रधानाचार्य महोदय, सम्माननीय अध्यापकगण और मेरे प्यारे साथियो! मैं कक्षा XII की विद्यार्थी श्रुति हूँ। आज मैं यह बताना चाहती हैं कि ट्रैफिक जाम ने सभी के लिए परेशानी पैदा कर रखी है। जाम इसलिए लगते हैं क्योंकि वाहन बेतरतीब चलाये जाते हैं। कई बार लोग थोड़ा समय बचाने के लिए गलत दिशा में चलते हैं। दुकानों पर वाहनों को खड़ा करने की सुविधा भी नहीं होती इसलिये ऐसी स्थिति में वाहन सड़कों पर ही खड़े कर दिये जाते हैं जिससे हालात और भी खराब हो जाते हैं। |

Write a short speech in about 150-200 words on “Use of Mobile Phones for Students” to be delivered at “Parents-Teachers Committee” meeting. |
|
Answer» Respected Principal, my colleagues and invited guardians, today we can see a mobile in the hands of every student. We know that mobile phone is a miracle in the field of communication. A small box can store so much information. It is of great use for businessmen and professionals. They can remain informed everywhere, every time. But for students, it is just a stupid toy which they often misuse to such an extent that they are spoiling their careers and their lives. It is a great hindrance to their concentration in their studies. Now we can use the internet on it and through 3G connection, we can enjoy video calling also. All these things are diverting their attention from the study which is against their main aim. M.M.S. scandals at schools and colleges have become common nowadays. Many students have spoilt their lives with this toy. There are so many mobile operators that offer special tariff plan for the students. Many times, they can talk unlimited from 11.00 p.m. to 8.00 a.m. Such kind of offers are against the students’ interests. They waste their valuable time in chatting with their friends. In my opinion, child crime is on the rise, so you should not give mobiles to your school and college going children. For the benefit of their future, the school has decided to ban the use of mobiles in our campus. I thank you all for your co-operation. |

(I) Explain how sexual reproduction gives rise to more viable variations than asexual reproduction. (II) How does this affect the evolution of those organisms that reproduce sexually? (III) In evolutionary terms, can we say which among bacteria, spiders, fish and chimpanzees, have a better body design? Why or why not? |
|
Answer» (i) Sexual reproduction gives rise to more viable variation then asexual reproduction. Because in sexual reproduction, genetic material from both the patents mixed (recombination of parent chromosomes) by fertilization. Hence, off-springs get both the information and produce mixed characters which are not exactly the same as that of parents. While in asexual reproduction, the single parent is involved and thus there is no recombination of chromosomes. Hence, off-springs that produced are the exact copy of their parent. (ii) If a disease were to hit the population, then perhaps not all the members of the population would be affected because of the variation in the population in sexual reproduction mode. This means that some individuals would survive to be able to reproduce and generate more offspring, and direct evolution of new species. Crossing over is the fundamental cause of origin of variations in sexually reproducing organisms. Asexual reproduction does not involve meiosis and crossing over, hence only minute variations may occur due to mutation. The variations caused in sexually reproducing organisms are subjected to the selection process. Natural selection selects those variations which have more adaptive value. (iii) No, we cannot say that there is a better body design as these organisms evolved according to their needs to survive in the environment. If chimpanzee has strong limbs capable of multiple actions, the bacteria can survive in extreme conditions where other organisms cannot. Hence, there is no better body design. |
