What is the remainder when 45 is divided by 15?1. 42. 53. 84. 11 |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : 4 Concept used: The remainder can be multiplied in the same way as the actual number when divided by any other number Ex- 52/4 = (5 × 5)/4 = (1 × 1)/4 = 1/4, Remainder = 1 Calculation: 45 is divided by 15 ⇒ 45/15 ⇒ (42 × 42 × 4)/15 ⇒ (16 × 16 × 4)/15 ⇒ (1 × 1× 4)/15 ----(When 16 and 4 is divided by 15 then it gives 1 and 4 as remainder respectively) ⇒ 4/15 ∴ The remainder is 4 |

The HCF and LCM of two numbers are 19 and 342 respectively, if dividing one number by 2 gives the quotient 19, find the second number.A. 133B. 171C. 198D. 1141. A2. B3. C4. D |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : B Given: The HCF and LCM of two numbers are 19 and 342 respectively and if dividing one number by 2 gives the quotient 19 Concept Used: For two numbers, LCM × HCF = product of those two numbers Calculation: Given that, if dividing one number by 2 gives the quotient 19. Here nothing is mention about the remainder, so, we have to assume that the remainder is 0 The number is 2 × 19 = 38 Accordingly, 19 × 342 = 38 × the other number ⇒ The other number = 171 ∴ The second number is 171. |

HCF of two number is 4 and the sum of those two numbers is 36. Find how many such pair of number is possible.1. 12. 23. 34. 4 |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : 3 Given: HCF of two number is 4 and the sum of those two numbers is 36. Concept Used: Concept of HCF HCF is the least common factor among two or more numbers. Calculation: HCF of two number is 4 Let, those numbers be 4x and 4y where x and y are prime to each other Accordingly, 4x + 4y = 36 ⇒ 4(x + y) = 36 ⇒ (x + y) = 9 Now, 9 = 8 + 1 9 = 7 + 2 9 = 6 + 3 9 = 5 + 4 In all these cases only (8,1); (7,2); and (5,4) are prime to each other. So, such three pair is possible ∴ Such three pair of number is possible. |

The sum of two numbers is 36 and their HCF is 4. Find the possible number of pairs.1. 32. 43. 54. 6 |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : 3 Given: Sum of numbers = 36 HCF = 4 Concept used: The H.C.F. of two or more than two numbers is the greatest number that divides each of them exactly. Calculation: Let, the numbers are 4x and 4y ⇒ 4x + 4y = 36 ⇒ 4(x + y) = 36 ⇒ x + y = 9 ⇒ (1, 8) ⇒ (2, 7) ⇒ (4, 5) We can see the 3 possible pairs. ∴ The possible number of pairs is 3. To find the pairs we only can take those pair which are prime to each other. We can't take those pair which are not prime to each other. For example: In this problem, 9 can be represent as 6 + 3 = 9 But, 6 & 3 are not prime to each other. So, it can't be a possible pair. |

If the product of two numbers is 1014 and their HCF is 13, then find the numbers of such possible pairs is:1. 32. 53. 44. 6 |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : 4 Given: The product of two number is 1014 and their HCF is 13 Concept: The HCF of two or more numbers is the greatest factor that divides each of them exactly. Calculation: Let the number be 13a and 13b The product of the two number = 1014 ⇒ 13a × 13b = 1014 ⇒ a × b = 1014/169 ⇒ a × b = 6 Possible pairs are (1, 6), (6, 1), (2, 3), (3, 2) ∴ The number of such possible pairs is 4. |
|
| 2712. |
If the product of two numbers is 1083 and their HCF is 19, then find the numbers of such possible pairs is:1. 32. 53. 44. 1 |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : 1 Given: The product of two numbers is 1083 and their HCF is 19 Concept: The HCF of two or more numbers is the greatest factor that divides each of them exactly. Calculation: Let the number be 19a and 19b The product of the two numbers = 1083 ⇒ 19a × 19b = 1083 ⇒ a × b = 1083/361 ⇒ a × b = 3 Possible pairs is (1, 3) ∴ The number of such possible pairs is 1. |

A plant is provided with ideal conditions for photosynthesis and supplied with isotope `.^(14)CO_(2)`. When the products of the process are analysed carefully, what would be nature of productsA. Giucose and oxygen are labelledB. Oxygen is labelled, but glucose is normalC. Glucose and oxygen are normalD. Glucose is labelled, but oxygen is normal |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - D In the process of photosynthesis `6CO_(2)+12H_(2)Ounderset(Chl)overset(hv)tounderset(`(Glucose)`)(C_(6)H_(12)O_(6))+6H_(2)O+6O_(2)uarr` Plants manufacture glucose from `H_(2)O` and `CO_(2)` and oxygen gas is released, So, due to isotopic catbon of `CO_(2)` only glucose will be labeiled, but oxygen will be normal. |

Oxygen dissociation curve of haemoglobinis isA. sigmoidB. hyperbolicC. linearD. hypobolic |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - A Oxygen haemoglobin dissociation curve gives the relationship between the saturaition of haemoglobin and oxygen tension. The curve obtained by plotting the per cent saturation of Hb against time is sigmoid, at 38°C and pH 7.4. Dissociation of oxyhaemoglobin can be promoted by rise in the body temperature and low pH (high `CO_(2)`). |

If p2 + q2 + 4r2 + 3 = 2p – 2q + 4r, then the value of 2p – 3q + 4r is (Assume that p, q, r are all real numbers.) |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : 7 Assuming p = 1, q = -1, We get, \(\begin{array}{l} 1 + 1 + 4{r^2} + 3 = 2 - \left( { - 2} \right) + 4r\\ \therefore 4{r^2} - 4r + 1 = 0 \end{array}\) ∴ r = ½ ∴ 2p – 3q + 4r = 2 – (-3) + 2 = 2 + 3 + 2 = 7 |
|
| 2716. |
Consider the following statements:1. The HCF of (p + q) and (p2 – q2) is (p + q).2. The HCF of (p – q) and (p2 – q2) is (p + q).3. The HCF of (p + q) and (p3 + q3) is (p + q).4. The HCF of (p – q) and (p3 – q3) is (p + q).Which of the above statements is/are correct?1. 1 and 2 only2. 1 and 3 only3. 1, 2, and 4 only4. 1, 3, and 4 only |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 1 and 3 only Concept: The HCF of two or more numbers is the greatest factor that divides each of them exactly. Calculation: Statement 1 The factor of (p + q) = (p + q) The factor of (p2 – q2) = (p + q) (p – q) The HCF of (p + q) and (p2 – q2) ⇒ (p + q) Statement 2 The factor of (p – q) = (p – q) The factor of (p2 – q2) = (p + q) (p – q) The HCF of (p – q) and (p2 – q2) ⇒ (p – q) Statement 3 The factor of (p + q) = (p + q) The factor of (p3 + q3) = (p + q) (p2 – p × q + q2) The HCF of (p + q) and (p3 + q3) ⇒ (p + q) Statement 4 The factor of (p – q) = (p – q) The factor of (p3 – q3) = (p – q) (p2 + p × q + q2) The HCF of (p – q) and (p3 – q3) ⇒ (p – q) ∴ Only statement 1 and 3 are correct. |

The least count of the main scale of a vernier callipers is 1 mm. Its vernier scale is divided into 10 divisions and coincide with 9 divisions of the main scale. When jaws are touching each other, the 7th division of vernier scale coincides with a division of main scale and the zero of vernier scale is lying right side of the zero of main scale. When this vernier is used to measure length of a cylinder the zero of the vernier scale between 3.1 cm and 3.2 cm and 4th VSD coincides with a main scale division. The length of the cylinder is (VSD is vernier scale division) (1) 3.21 cm (2) 2.99 cm (3) 3.07 cm (4) 3.2 cm |
|
Answer» Answer is (3) 3.07 cm Least count of V.C = \(\Big(1-\frac{9}{10}\Big)\times1mm\) = 0.1 mm ∴ Zero error = 7 × 0.1 = 0.7 mm positive error Measured value = (31 + 4 × 0.1) mm = 31.4 mm ∴ Length of cylinder = 31.4 – 0.7 = 30.7 mm = 3.07 cm |
