if 40 bees can collect honey in 30 h. 10 h after they start, 15 bees die..remaining bees collect honey? |
|
Answer» assuming that all the bees do an equal amount of work in an equal time span. (a) 40 bees finish 1 work in 30 hours. => (b) 40 bees will finish 1/30 work in 1 hour. => (c) 1 bee will finish 1/1200 work in 1 hour. => (d) 1 bee will finish 1 work alone in 1200 hours. considering statement (b): 40 bees will finish (10/30=)1/3 work in 10 hours. remaining work to be done= 1-1/3 = 2/3 work, and remaining number of bees= 40-15 = 25 bees Now, 25 bees have to do the remaining (2/3)rd work. considering statement (d): 25 bees will finish 1 work in = 1200/25 hours. So, 25 bees will finish remaining (2/3)rd work in = (1200/25) * (2/3) = 32 hours |

A girl goes by a car 150 km in 10 hours and comes back in 5 hours. Find the average speed of the car1. 30 km/h2. 50 km/h3. 20 km/h4. 40 km/h5. 10 km/h |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : 20 km/h Given: Distance she goes by car = 150 km Distance she comes back by car = 150 km Time taken by her in going = 10 hours Time taken by her in coming back = 5 hours Formula Used: Average Speed = Total distance/Total time Calculation: Total distance covered by her = Distance she goes by car + Distance she comes back by car Total Distance = 150 + 150 = 300 km Total time = Time taken by her in going + Time taken by her in coming back Total time = 10 + 5 = 15 hours Average Speed of car = 300/15 = 20 Km/h ∴ The Average Speed of the car is 20 km/h. |

A Car coves 60 km at a uniform speed of 60 km/hr.What should be its speed for the next 180 km if the average speed for entire journey is 120km/hr ?1. 200 km/hr2. 160 km/hr3. 180 km/hr4. 150 km/hr5. 175 km/hr |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : 180 km/hr Given: Total distance = 60 + 180 = 240 km. First 60 km is covered by speed 60 km/hr. Average speed = 120 km/hr Formula used: Time = distance / speed Calculation: Hence time for first 60 km = distance / speed ⇒ 60 km / (60 km/hr) = 1 hour Time taken for total travel of 240 km with average speed 120 km/hr = 240/120 = 2 hour. Total time = 2 hour 60 km is travelled in first 1 hour. Now, Required speed for remaining 180 km in remaining time 1 hour = 180 / 1 ⇒ 180 km/hr |

Explain the reason for the following. a. At the time of sunset, western horizon is seen red.b. Sky in the moon ha» a dark colour. |
|
Answer» a. At the time of sunset, Light rays have to travel very long distances through air. Hence Light rays are scattered. Light rays like blue with shorter wavelength get lost due to scattering but rays with longer wavelength remain because it gets less scattering. b. In moon there is no atmosphere and therefore scattering of light does not take place. |

Analyse the following statements and find out the reason behind them. a. Stars can be seen even in day time while viewed from the moon b. Raindrops falling down during rain appear like a glass rod. c. A rainbow is seen in the shape of a circle when viewed from a height. d. The sky of cities mostly appears in grey colour. |
|
Answer» a. There is no scattering for the light around the moon since there is no atmosphere around it. Hence the sky of moon appears dark. b. Raindrops come down faster during rain. The distance travelled by a drop in 1/16 of a second appears like a glass rod due to persistence of vision. c. When viewed from a height the observer can see points at 42.70 upwards, downwards as well as sideways. Hence rainbow is seen as a circle. d. In cities there will be large particles in the atmosphere. Hence all colours of light scatter equally. |
