99052.	Find the difference between the sum of first 4 even natural numbers and first 3 odd natural numbers.1. 92. 103. 114. 12
Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : 11 Given: First 4 even natural numbers. First 3 odd natural numbers. Formula used: Sum of first 'n' even natural numbers = n(n + 1) Sum of first 'n' odd natural numbers = n² Calculations: Sum of first '4' even natural numbers = 4(4 + 1) ⇒ 20 Sum of first '3' odd natural numbers = (3)² = 9 Difference = (20 - 9) ⇒11 ∴ The difference between the sum of first 4 even natural numbers and first 3 odd natural numbers is 11.

99052.

Find the difference between the sum of first 4 even natural numbers and first 3 odd natural numbers.1. 92. 103. 114. 12

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : 11

Given:

First 4 even natural numbers.

First 3 odd natural numbers.

Formula used:

Sum of first 'n' even natural numbers = n(n + 1)

Sum of first 'n' odd natural numbers = n²

Calculations:

Sum of first '4' even natural numbers = 4(4 + 1)

⇒ 20

Sum of first '3' odd natural numbers = (3)² = 9

Difference = (20 - 9)

⇒11

∴ The difference between the sum of first 4 even natural numbers and first 3 odd natural numbers is 11.

99053.

661 + 663 + 664 is divisible by1. 1532. 3533. 2534. 243

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : 253

Given:

The number is 661 + 663 + 664

Calculation:

661 + 663 + 664

Take 6⁶¹common from the given number

⇒ 6⁶¹(1 + 6² + 6³)

⇒ 6⁶¹(1 + 36 + 216)

⇒ 6⁶¹ × 253

Here, we clearly see the number is product of 661 × 253

Then, the number is must divisible by 253 and 6⁶¹

∴ The required answer is 253.

99055.	Corresponding sides of two similar triangles are in the ratio 4 ∶ 9, then what is the ratio of the areas of these triangles ?
Answer» Given that the sides of similar triangles are in the ration 4 ∶ 9. We know that “ If two triangles are similar to each other, then the ratio of the areas of these triangles will be equal to the square to the ratio of the corresponding sides of these triangles.” Therefore, ratio between the areas of these triangles = \((\frac{4}{9})^2=\frac{16}{81}=16:81.\) Hence, the ratio between the areas of these triangles is 16 ∶ 81.

Corresponding sides of two similar triangles are in the ratio 4 ∶ 9, then what is the ratio of the areas of these triangles ?

Answer»

Given that the sides of similar triangles are in the ration 4 ∶ 9.

We know that “ If two triangles are similar to each other, then the ratio of the areas of these triangles will be equal to the square to the ratio of the corresponding sides of these triangles.”

Therefore, ratio between the areas of these triangles = \((\frac{4}{9})^2=\frac{16}{81}=16:81.\)

Hence, the ratio between the areas of these triangles is 16 ∶ 81.

99056.	The difference between two numbers is 26 and one number is three times the other. Find the numbers.
Answer» Let the bigger number is x and smaller number is y. Given that difference between both numbers is 26. ∴ x – y = 26. … (1) Given that one number is three times the other Therefore, x = 3y. … (2) Now, putting x = 3y in equation (1), we get 3y – y = 26 ⇒ 2y = 26 ⇒ y = \(\frac{26}{2}\) = 13. Now, putting y = 13 in equation (2), we get x = 3 × 13 = 39. Hence, the numbers are 13 and 39.

99056.

The difference between two numbers is 26 and one number is three times the other. Find the numbers.

Answer»

Let the bigger number is x and smaller number is y.

Given that difference between both numbers is 26.

∴ x – y = 26. … (1)

Given that one number is three times the other

Therefore, x = 3y. … (2)

Now, putting x = 3y in equation (1), we get 3y – y = 26

⇒ 2y = 26 ⇒ y = \(\frac{26}{2}\) = 13.

Now, putting y = 13 in equation (2), we get

x = 3 × 13 = 39.

Hence, the numbers are 13 and 39.

Answer»

In most receivers the local oscillator frequency is higher than incoming signal i.e.

f₀ = f_s + f_si

f₀ – Local oscillator frequency f_s = Signal freq f_si = Image freq

99063.	Which of the following are some distinctive features of Mohanjodaro?1. It was a planned Urban city in which the lower town was also walled.2. Grid pattern drainage system intersecting at right angles.3. Every house had its own bathroom paved with bricks, with drains connected through the wall to the street drains.4. Houses were a build-up to the ground floor as no remains of the staircase have been found.1. 1, 2 and 3 only2. 2, 3 and 4 only3. 1, 3 and 4 only4. 1, 2 and 4 only
Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : 1, 2 and 3 only The correct answer is 1, 2, and 3 only. It is a planned settlement that is divided into two sections, one smaller but higher (Citadel) and the other much larger but lower (Lower Town). The Citadel owes its height to the fact that buildings were constructed on mud-brick platforms. It was walled, which meant that it was physically separated from the Lower Town. It had structures that were probably used for special public purposes. The Lower Town was also walled. Several buildings were built on platforms, which served as foundations. Hence, Statement 1 is correct. Signs of planning: bricks, which, whether sun-dried or baked, were of a standardized ratio, where the length and breadth were four times and twice the height respectively. The most distinctive feature of Harappan cities was the carefully planned drainage system. The roads and streets were laid out along an approximate “grid” pattern, intersecting at right angles. Hence, Statement 2 is correct. It seems that streets with drains were laid out first and then houses were built along with them. The Lower Town at Mohenjodaro provides examples of residential buildings. The courtyard was probably the center of activities such as cooking and weaving, particularly during hot and dry weather. There are no windows in the walls along with the ground level. The main entrance does not give a direct view of the interior of the courtyard. Every house had its own bathroom paved with bricks, with drains connected through the wall to the street drains. Hence, Statement 3 is correct. Some houses have remains of staircases to reach a second story or the roof. Hence, Statement 4 is incorrect. Many houses had wells, often in a room that could be reached from the outside and perhaps used by passers-by. The citadel includes the warehouse: a massive structure of which the lower brick portions remain, while the upper portions, probably of wood, decayed long ago and the Great Bath.
