What is diagonal relationship right type of relationship between lithium and magnesium.

Answer»

Diagonal Relationship of Lithium with Magnesium

The main points of similarity :

(1) Both have almost similar electronegativities.

(2) Both Li and Mg are quite hard. They are harder and lighter than other elements in their respective groups.

(3) Both LiOH and Mg(OH)2 are weak bases.

(4) Both form ionic nitrides when heated in atmosphere of Nitrogen.

6 Li + N2 → 2 Li3N

3 Mg + N2 → 2 Mg3N2

(5) The hydroxides of both lithium and magnesium decompose upon heating.

2 LiOH → Li2O + H2O

Mg(OH)2 → MgO + H2O

(6) Both lithium and magnesium combine with oxygen to form monooxide while other members of their respective groups form peroxide and superoxide.

4 Li + O2 → 2 Li2O

2 Mg + O2 → 2 MgO

The Li2O and MgO thus formed do not combine with excess O2 to form peroxide and superoxide.

(7) The carbonates of these metals decompose on heating to the corresponding oxides with the evolution of carbon dioxide.

Li2CO3 → Li2O + CO2

MgCO3 → MgO + CO2

(8) Both Lithium and magnesium do not form solid bicarbonates.

(9) Both Lithium and magnesium nitrate decompose on heating producing nitrogen dioxide.

4 LiNO3 → 2 Li2O + 4 NO2 + O2

2 Mg(NO3)2 → MgO + 4 NO2 + O2

(10) The hydroxides, carbonate, oxalates, phosphates and fluorides of both Lithium and magnesium are sparingly soluble in water.

(11) Because of the covalent character, LiCl and MgCl2 are soluble in ethanol.

(12) Both Lithium perchlorate and magnesium perchlorate are highly soluble in ethanol.

(13) LiCl and MgCl2 are deliquescent and crystallise from aqueous solution as hydrate LiCl·2 H2O and MgCl2 ·6 H2O.

Recognition of an antigenic protein of a pathogen or exposure to a pathogen occurs during many types of immune responses, including active immunity and induced active immunity. Specify the types of responses elicited when human beings get encountered by a pathogen.

Answer»

● When our body encounters an antigenic protein or a pathogen for the first time it produces a response which is of low intensity and our body retains memory of the first encounter. 

● The subsequent encounter with the same pathogen elicits a highly intensified response carried out with the help of two special types of lymphocytes present in our blood, B- lymphocytes, and T-lymphocytes. 

 ● The B-lymphocytes produce an army of proteins in response to these pathogens into our blood to fight with them. These proteins are called antibodies. The T-cells themselves do not secrete antibodies but help B-cells produce them.

Ramkishan sells an article at a profit of 6%. If he sells it for Rs. 200 more, there would be a profit of 10%. Then the cost price of the article is1. Rs. 50002. Rs. 4,5003. Rs. 5,5004. None of the above

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : Rs. 5000

Given

Ramkishan sells an article at a profit of 6%

Profit when sold for Rs. 200 more = 10%

Formula used

SP = CP + (Profit %/100) × CP

Calculation

Profit %= 6%

SP= CP+ (6/100) × CP = 106CP/100

Now, if he had sold it for RS.200 more,

profit % = 10%

⇒ SP + 200 = CP + (10/100) × CP

⇒ SP + 200 = 11CP/10

Substituting SP = 106CP/100 in the above equation we get,

⇒ 106CP/100 + 200 = 11CP/10

⇒ 4CP/100 = 200

⇒ CP = Rs. 5000

A dishonest shopkeeper promises to sell his goods at a loss of 25%, but uses weight of 600 grams instead of 1000 grams at the time of selling. Find the actual profit percentage of the shopkeeper.1. 15%2. 20%3. 25%4. 30%

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : 25%
Given: 

He sells goods at loss of 25%.

He used weight of 600 grams instead of 1000 grams at the time of selling.

Formula used :

Profit % = {(Selling price – Cost price )/cost price} × 100

Calculations:

Let the Cost price of 1000 grams of goods be  ₹ 100      ----(1)

As he promises to sell his goods at a loss of 25 %

The selling price of 1000 grams = ₹ 75

But, as he weighs only 600 grams,

⇒ he takes ₹ 75 for 600 grams

From equation (1)

We can get a cost price of 600 grams = ₹ 60

⇒ {(75 –  60) / 60} × 100

⇒ Profit % = 25

∴ The actual profit percentage of the shopkeeper is 25%.

A shopkeeper offers two successive discounts of 12.5% each on a jeans pant, another shopkeeper offers two Successive discounts of 20% and 5% on the same pant. If the Marked price of the pant is Rs. 640, find which shopkeeper sells the pant at lower price and at which price?1. Shopkeeper I, Rs. 4902. Both sell at same price3. Shopkeeper 1, Rs. 486.44. Shopkeeper II, Rs. 486.4

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : Shopkeeper II, Rs. 486.4

Given:

Successive discount in shop I = 12.5%

Successive discount in shop II = 20% and 5%

Marked price of pant = Rs. 640

Formula used:

Successive decrease = x + y – [(xy)/100]

Calculation:

Overall Discount% offered by shopkeeper I = 12.5% + 12.5% - [(12.5 × 12.5)/100]

= 25 - 1.5625

= 23.4375%

∴ Discount price = (23.4375/100) × 640

= Rs. 150

∴ Selling price of shopkeeper II = 640 - 150

= Rs. 490 

Overall Discount% offered by shopkeeper II = 20 + 5 – [(20 × 5)/100]

= 25 – 1

= 24%

∴ Discount price = (24/100) × 640

= Rs. 153.6

∴ Selling price of shopkeeper II = 640 - 153.6

= Rs. 486.4

∴ Shopkeeper II sells the pant at lower price.
2685.

If a shopkeeper sells an item that is marked as Rs. 3685 for Rs. 2845, then how much discount is he offering ?1. 29.52%2. 22.795%3. 34.87%4. 26.59%

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 22.795%

Given:

A shopkeeper sells an item that is marked as Rs. 3685 for Rs. 2845

Formula used:

%discount = [(Mark price – Selling price)/Mark price] × 100

Calculation:

Mark price (M.P.) = 3685

Selling price (S.P.) = 2845

%discount = [(M.P. –S.P.)/M.P.] × 100

⇒ [(3685 – 2845)/3685] × 100

⇒ (840/3685) × 100

⇒ 840 × 20/737 = 22.795%

∴ Discount of offering is 22.795%

Find the greatest number which when divides the numbers 2800, 2401 and 1470 leaves same remainder is each case.1. 1332. 1413. 1294. 149

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : 133

GIVEN:

Three numbers 2800, 2401 and 1470.

CALCULATION:

Let same remainder = ‘x’

Required maximum number = HCF of (2800 – x), (2401 – x) and (1470 – x)

We know that if two numbers be divisible by a certain number, then their difference is also divisible by that number.

HCF of (2800 – x), (2401 – x) and (1470 – x) = HCF of [(2800 – x) – (2401 – x)], [(2800 – x) – (1470 – x)] and [(2401 – x) – (1470 – x)] = HCF of 399, 1330 and 931 = 133

Hence, required greatest number = 133

2687.

Find the HCF of 12.25 and 2/3?1. 1/102. 1/123. 1/154. 1/20

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 1/12

Given:

The given numbers are 12.25 and 2/3.

Formula used/Concept Used:

HCF of fraction = (HCF of numerators)/(LCM of denominators)

Calculation:

Fraction conversion of 12.25 = 49/4

HCF of numerator = HCF of (49, 2) = 1

And, LCM of denominator = LCM of (4, 3) = 12

∴ HCF of (49/4 and 2/3) = HCF of (49, 2)/LCM of (4, 3) = 1/12
2688.

Successive discounts of 10%, 20% and 30% is equivalent to a single discount of _____?1. 40.5%2. 60%3. 36%4. 49.6%

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : 49.6%

Calculation:

Successive discounts of 10%, 20% and 30% = 100 – [100 × 90% × 80% × 70%]

⇒ 100 – 50.4

⇒ 49.6%

∴ The successive discount of 10%, 20% and 30% is 49.6%

2689.

What is the greatest number which divides 415 and 450 and leaves the remainder 5 and 0 respectively?1. 102. 123. 154. 18

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : 10

Given:

The given divisors are 415 and 450 and remainders are 5 and 0 respectively.

Concept Used:

When we need to find the greatest number in that case we calculate the HCF of numbers.

Here we have to find the greatest number which when divides x and y leaves the remainder a and b and the number can be found by formula

∴ Required number = HCF of [(x - a), (y - b)]

Calculation:

Required number = HCF of [(415 - 5) and (450 - 0)] = HCF of (410 and 450)

∴ HCF of (410 and 450) = 10

Two numbers are in the ratio 1 ∶ 2 and their HCF is 7. Find the sum of both numbers?1. 142. 213. 254. 28

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 21

Given:

The ratios of numbers = 1 ∶ 2.

HCF of number = 7.

Calculation:

Let the numbers are in ratio x ∶ 2x.

∴ HCF of (x and 2x) = x

Now, HCF of numbers is 7

∴ x = 7

So, the numbers are 7 and 14 and sum of numbers = 7 + 14 = 21

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : 12.63%

Given:

CP = Rs. 3200

Spent on repair = Rs. 600

SP = Rs. 4280

Where CP = Cost price, SP = Selling price

Formula used:

\({\rm{Profit\% \;}} = {\rm{\;}}\frac{{{\rm{SP\;}} - {\rm{\;CP}}}}{{{\rm{CP}}}}{\rm{\;}} × {\rm{\;}}100\)

Calculation:

New CP = Rs. (3200 + 600) = Rs. 3800

\({\rm{Profit\% \;}} = {\rm{\;}}\frac{{4280{\rm{\;}} - {\rm{\;}}3800}}{{3800}}{\rm{\;}} × {\rm{\;}}100\)

⇒ 480/38 × 100

⇒ 12.63%

∴ profit percentage is 12.63%

What is the least possible number which when divided by 11, 12 and 13 leaves the remainder 7, 8 and 9?1. 17142. 17123. 17164. 1718

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 1712

The least possible number which when divided by 11, 12 and 13 leaves the remainder 7, 8 and 9

Concept used:

Basic concept of number system and LCM

In this type of question when a, b and c divided and leaves remainder d, e and f

If the difference of terms is same

Let (a - d) = (b - e) = (c - f) = K

∴ Required number is LCM of (a, b, c) -K

Calculation:

By using the identity

⇒ (11 - 7) = (12 - 8) = (13 - 9) = 4

Here the difference between the division and the respective remainder is same

∴ Required number = LCM of (11, 12 and 13) – 4 = 1712

Hence, option (2) is correct

A shopkeeper marks his goods up by 70% and offers a discount on the marked price. If the final selling price after the discount results in the shopkeeper making no profit and no loss, find the discount provided by the shopkeeper.1. 41.17%2. 40.17%3. 43.78%4. 42.35%

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : 41.17%

Given:

Marked up % = 70% 

If the final selling price after the discount results in the shopkeeper making no profit and no loss

Concept used:

D = M.P – S.P

D% = (D/M.P) × 100

Where,

S.P → Selling price 

M.P → Marked price 

D → Discount 

Calculations:

Let the cost price of the article be 100x 

So, M.P of the article = 100x × (170/100) = 170x 

If the final selling price after the discount results in the shopkeeper making no profit and no loss

So, Selling price of the article = 100x 

Discount = 170x – 100x = 70x 

Discount% = (70x/170x) × 100 = 41.17% 

∴ Required discount% is 41.17%

An outlet pipe can empty a tank in 24 hours. A pipe that fills the tank at a rate of 2 ltr/min is opened together with the outlet pipe and the tank gets filled in 16 hours. What is the capacity of the tank?1. 1152 ltr2. 1000 ltr3. 1252 ltr4. 2000 ltr5. 1352 ltr

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : 1152 ltr

GIVEN:

Time taken by outlet pipe to empty = 24 hours

Time taken by both inlet and outlet pipes to fill = 16 hours

Rate of filling of inlet pipe = 2 ltr/min

EXPLANATION:

Time taken by outlet pipe to empty = 24 hours

Time taken by both inlet and outlet pipes to fill = 16 hours

LCM of 24 and 16 is 48 so, let the capacity of the tank be 48 units

Per hour efficiency of outlet pipe = \(\frac{48}{24}= -2\) units/hour (here '-' sign indicates outlet)

Per hour efficiency of both pipes together = \(\frac{48}{16}=3\) units/hour

Per hour efficiency of inlet pipe = Per hour efficiency of both pipes together - Per hour efficiency of the outlet pipe

\(\Rightarrow 3-(-2)=3+2=5 units/hour\)

5 units/hour = \(\frac1{12}\) units/min

 \(\frac1{12}\) units/min = 2 ltr/min

\(\frac1{12}\) units = 2 ltr 

1 unit = 24 ltr

Capacity of tank 48 units = 48 \(\times\) 24 = 1152 ltr

Show that any positive odd integer is of the form 6q + 1, or 6q + 3, or 6q + 5, where q is some integer.

Answer»

Solution:
Let a be any positive integer and b = 6.
Then, by Euclid’s algorithm, a = 6q + r for
some integer q ≥ 0 and r = 0,1,2,3,4,5 because
0 ≤ r ≤ 6.
So, a = 6q or 6q + 1 or 6q + 2 or 6q + 3 or 6q + 4 or 6q + 5
Here, a cannot be 6q or 6q + 2 or 6q + 4, as they are divisible by 2.
6q + 1
6 is divisible by 2 but 1 is not divisible by 2.
6q + 3
6 is divisible by 2 but 3 is not divisible by 2.
6q + 5
6 is divisible by 2 but 5 is not divisible by 2.
Since, 6q + 1, 6q + 3, 6q + 5 are not divisible by 2, they are odd numbers.
Therefore, any odd integer is of the form
6q + 1, or 6q + 3, or 6q + 5.

Find the HCF by Euclid’s division algorithm of the numbers 92690, 7378 and 7161.

Answer»

Solution:
By Euclid’s division algorithm,
92690 = 7378 x 12 + 4154
7378 = 4154 x 1+ 3224
4154 = 3224 x 1 + 930
3224 = 930 x 3 + 434
930 = 434 x 2 + 62
434 = 62 x 7 + 0
Therefore, HCF (92690, 7378) = 62
7161 = 62 x 115 + 31
62 = 31 x 2 + 0
Therefore, HCF(7161, 62) = 31
Hence, HCF (92690, 7378, 7161) = 31

Two numbers are in the ratio 7 ∶ 11 and their HCF is 5. Find the difference in the numbers.1. 202. 253. 384. 32

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : 20

Given:

The ratios of numbers are 7 ∶ 11 and HCF of number is 5

Concept Used:

Basic concept of ratio and HCF

Calculation:

Let the numbers are in the ratio 7x ∶ 11x and we know that HCF is the common factors in both the numbers

∴ HCF of (7x and 11x) = x

Now, HCF of numbers is 5

∴ x = 5

Now, the numbers are in the ratio 7x ∶ 11x

So, the numbers are 35 and 55

∴ Difference of numbers will be = 55 - 35 = 20

Hence, option (1) is correct

A man purchased an old typewriter at Rs 19200, and spent some amount on its repair. He sold it for Rs 24150, and earned a profit of 15%. Find the amount he spend on the repair of the old typewriter.1. Rs 12002. Rs 18003. Rs 21004. Rs 1500

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : Rs 1800

Given:

Cost price of old typewriter = Rs 19200

Selling price of old typewriter = Rs 24150

Profit = 15%

Formula Used:

Selling price = (Cost price + amount spend on repairing) × (100 + profit %)/100

Calculation:

Let the amount spend on repairing of typewriter be x.

Selling price = (Cost price + amount spend on repairing) × (100 + profit %)/100

⇒ 24150 = (19200 + x) × (100 + 15)/100

⇒ 24150 = (19200 + x) × 115/100

⇒ 19200 + x = 24150 × 100/115

⇒ 19200 + x = 21000

⇒ x = 21000 – 19200

⇒ x = 1800

∴ The amount spend on repairing of old typewriter is Rs 1800.

Find the largest number by which when 270, 675 and 1215 are divided, leave equal remainder in each case.A. 45B. 135C. 270D. 751. D2. B3. C4. A

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : B

Given:

Numbers are 270, 675, 1215

Calculation:

Let us assume that the remainder left is m

So, numbers that are completely divisible are

⇒ 270 – m, 675 – m, 1215 – m

Now subtract the pair

⇒ 675 – m – 270 + m = 405      ----1

⇒ 1215 – m – 675 + m = 540      ----2

Now find the HCF of 405 and 540

⇒ 405 = 135 × 3

⇒ 540 = 135 × 4

HCF of 405 and 540 = 135

∴ The largest number by which 270, 675 and 1215 are divided, leave the equal remainder in each case is 135
