1.

A sum was put at simple interest at a certain rate for 3 years. Had it been put at 2% higher rate, it would have fetched Rs. 360 more. Find the sum. 

Answer»

Let sum = P and original rate = R. 

Then, [ (P*(R+2)*3)/100] – [ (P*R*3)/100] = 360. 

3PR + 6P - 3PR = 36000 

6P=36000 

P=6000 

Hence, sum = Rs. 6000.

2.

If the depletion layer gets wider, the capacitance a. Decreases b. Stays the same c. Increases d. Is variable

Answer»

(a) Decreases

3.

The simple interest on a sum of money is 4/9 of the principal .Find the rate percent and time, if both are numerically equal.

Answer»

Let sum = Rs. x. Then, S.I. = Rs. 4x/9 

Let rate = R% and time = R years. 

Then, (x*R*R)/100=4x/9 or R2 =400/9 or R = 20/3 = 6 2/3. 

Rate = 6 2/3 % and Time = 6 2/3 years = 6 years 8 months.

4.

The device associated with voltage-controlled capacitance is a a. Light-emitting diode b. Photodiode c. Varactor diode d. Zener diode

Answer»

(c) Varactor diode

5.

The simple interest on a certain sum of money for 2 1/2 years at 12% per annum is Rs. 40 less than the simple interest on the same sum for 3 ½ years at 10% per annum. Find the sum.

Answer»

Let the sum be Rs. x Then, ((x*10*7)/(100*2)) – ( (x*12*5)/(100*2)) = 40 

(7x/20)-(3x/10)=40 

x = (40 * 20) = 800. 

Hence, the sum is Rs. 800.

6.

J alone can do a piece of work in 7.5 days. K and L together can complete the same work in 5 days. In how many days will J, K and L together complete the same work?1. 5 days2. 3 days3. 4.5 days4. 6 days

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 3 days

Given:

J can complete the work in 7.5 days

K and L can complete the work in 5 days, working together

Formula used:

The efficiency of a person is equal to its time taken

Calculation:

Per day efficiency of J = 1/7.5 = 2/15

Per day efficiency of K and L, working together = 1/5

Per day efficiency of J, K and L working together = \(\dfrac{2}{15} + \dfrac{1}{5} = \dfrac{1}{3}\)

∴ Together, they will take 3 days.

A charged particle of mass m = 2 kg and charge `1 muC` is projected from a horizontal ground at an angle `theta=45^@` with speed `10ms^(-1)`. In space, a horizontal electric field towards the direction of projection `E = 2 xx 10^(7) NC^(-1)` exists. The range of the projectile isA. 20 mB. 60 mC. 200 mD. 180 m

Answer» Correct Answer - A

Tune of flight `=(2usintheta)/(g)=(2xx10xx(1)/(sqrt(2)))/(10)=sqrt(2)s`
Hence `R=u_(x)T+(1)/(2)a_(x)T^(2)`
`=10cos45^(@)xxT+(1)/(2)a_(x)T^(2)`
`=(10)/(sqrt(2))xxsqrt(2)+(1)/(2)xx10xx2`
`=20m`.

Marks scored by Ram in Science is more than his marks in Maths by 12.1. Either statement I and II together or Statement II and III together is sufficient to answer the question.2. The data in statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question.3. The data in statement I and II together are sufficient to answer the question.4. The data in all the statements I, II, and III are not sufficient to answer the question.5. The data in all statements I, II, and III together are necessary to answer the question.

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 5 : The data in all statements I, II, and III together are necessary to answer the question.

Calculation:

For Statement I and III:

Let the marks in Maths = x

Marks in science = x + 12

Marks is English = x + 32

For statement III:

⇒ Maths + Science + English = 197

⇒ x + x + 12 + x + 32 = 197

⇒ 3x + 44 = 197

⇒ 3x = 197 – 44

⇒ 3x = 153

⇒ x = 51

 ∴ marks in Maths is 51

All the Statements together are sufficient.
