For the purpose of systematic qualitative analysis, cations are classified into various groups on the basisof their behaviour against some reagents. The group reagents used for the classification of most common cations are hydrochloric acid, hydrogen sulphide, ammonium hydroxide, and ammonium carbonate. Classification id based on wheather a certain reacts with these reagents by the formation of precipitates or not. To avoid the precipitation of hydroxides of `Ni^(2+),Co^(2+),Mn^(2+)` along with those of the third group cations, the solutions should be :A. Heated with few drops of concentrated `HNO_3`B. Boiled with excess of ammonium chlorideC. Concentrated to small volumeD. None of these |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - B Function of strong electrolyte `NH_4Cl` is to suppress the ionisation of `NH_4OH` so that the concentration of `OH^-` ions in the solution is decreased but it is sufficient to precipitate the third group basic radicals because the solubility prouduct of group III hydrooxides is lower than IV, V and VI group hydroxides. The `Cr(OH)_3darr` is slightly soluble in excess of precipitant , upon boiling the solution, `Cr(OH)_3` is precipitated. |

Of two numbers, 4 times the smaller one is less then 3 times the larger one by 5. If the sum of the numbers is larger than 6 times their difference by 6, find the two numbers. |
|
Answer» Let the numbers be x and y, such that x > y Then, 3x - 4y = 5 ...(i) and (x + y) - 6 (x - y) = 6 => -5x + 7y = 6 …(ii) Solving (i) and (ii), we get: x = 59 and y = 43. Hence, the required numbers are 59 and 43. |

The ratio between a two-digit number and the sum of the digits of that number is 4 : 1. If the digit in the unit's place is 3 more than the digit in the ten’s place, what is the number? |
|
Answer» Let the ten's digit be x. Then, unit's digit = (x + 3). Sum of the digits = x + (x + 3) = 2x + 3. Number = 10x + (x + 3) = 11x + 3. 11x +3 / 2x + 3 = 4 / 1 => 11x + 3 = 4 (2x + 3) => 3x = 9 => x = 3. Hence, required number = 11x + 3 = 36. |

50 is divided into two parts such that the sum of their reciprocals is 1/ 12. Find the two parts. |
|
Answer» Let the two parts be x and (50 - x). Then, 1 / x + 1 / (50 – x) = 1 / 12 => (50 – x + x) / x ( 50 – x) = 1 / 12 => x2 – 50x + 600 = 0 => (x – 30) ( x – 20) = 0 => x = 30 or x = 20. So, the parts are 30 and 20. |

A fraction becomes 2/3 when 1 is added to both, its numerator and denominator. And ,it becomes 1/2 when 1 is subtracted from both the numerator and denominator. Find the fraction. |
|
Answer» Let the required fraction be x/y. Then, x+1 / y+1 = 2 / 3 => 3x – 2y = - 1 …(i) and x – 1 / y – 1 = 1 / 2 2x – y = 1 …(ii) Solving (i) and (ii), we get : x = 3 , y = 5 therefore, Required fraction= 3 / 5. |

If three numbers are added in pairs, the sums equal 10, 19 and 21. Find the numbers. |
|
Answer» Let the numbers be x, y and z. Then, x + y = 10 ...(i) y + z = 19 ...(ii) x + z = 21 …(iii) Adding (i) ,(ii) and (iii), we get: 2 (x + y + z ) = 50 or (x + y + z) = 25. Thus, x= (25 - 19) = 6; y = (25 - 21) = 4; z = (25 - 10) = 15. Hence, the required numbers are 6, 4 and 15. |
|
| 29. |
A number consists of two digits. The sum of the digits is 9. If 63 is subtracted from the number, its digits are interchanged. Find the number. |
|
Answer» Let the ten's digit be x. Then, unit's digit = (9 - x). Number = 10x + (9 - x) = 9x + 9. Number obtained by reversing the digits = 10 (9 - x) + x = 90 - 9x. therefore, (9x + 9) - 63 = 90 - 9x => 18x = 144 => x = 8. So, ten's digit = 8 and unit's digit = 1. Hence, the required number is 81. |

A two-digit number is such that the product of its digits is 35. If 18 is added to the number, the digits interchange their places. Find the number. |
|
Answer» Let the two digit number is xy = 10x + y. Given that product of required number is 35. i.e., xy = 35 … (1) (∵Unit digit of number is y and second digit of number is x.) Also, Given that if 18 added to number (10x + y), The digits interchange their places i.e., It becomes yx = 10y + x. i.e., 10x + y + 18 = 10y + x ⇒ 9x − 9y + 18 = 0 ⇒ 9(x − y) = −18 ⇒ y − x = 2 … (2) Now, (y + x)2 = (y − x)2 + 4xy = 4 + 4×35 (using equation (1) & (2)) = 4 +140 = 144 ⇒ y + x = 12 … (3) Now, Adding equation (2) and (3), we get (y – x) + (y + x) = 2 + 12 ⇒ 2y = 14 ⇒ y = 7. Now, Putting y = 7 in equation (3), we get 7 + x = 12 ⇒ x = 12 – 7 = 5. ∴ The required number is xy = 10x + y = 10 × 5 + 7 = 57. |

A is twice efficient of B. If A takes 60 days less than B, then how many days required to complete work. When they work together?1. 30 days2. 50 days3. 40 days4. 20 days5. None of these |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : 40 days Given: Efficiency ratio of A and B = 2 ∶ 1 Condition = A takes 60 days less than B Formula: W = E × T Here, W = work E = Efficiency T = Time Calculation: We know that – E ∝ 1/T (w = constant) Efficiency Ratio of A & B = 2 : 1 Days Ratio of A & B = 1 : 2 Now, 2 – 1 = 60 1 = 60 Now, A = 1 ×60 A = 60 days B = 2 ×60 B = 120 Now, LCM (60, 120) = 120 unit Efficiency of A and B together = 2 + 1 = 3 Required time = 120/3 Required time = 40 days ∴ They completed the work together in 40 days. |

|
Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : 27 years Given: 3 years ago age ratio of son and father = 2 ∶ 3 3 years after age ratio of son and father = 5 ∶ 7 Calculation: Let be 3 years ago the age of son and father be 2x and 3x respectively Now, Total the difference of age between son and father = 3 – (– 3) ⇒ 6 years Now, (2x + 6)/(3x + 6) = 5/7 ⇒ 14x + 42 = 15x + 30 ⇒ 42 – 30 = 15x – 14x ⇒ 12 = x Now, The age of son 3 years ago = 2x ⇒ 2 × 12 ⇒ 24 years Now, The present age of son = The Age of son 3years ago + 3 ⇒ 24 + 3 ⇒ 27 ∴ The Present age of son will be 27 years |

A alone can complete work in 30 days, B alone can complete the work in 50 days. A and B together complete the 100% of the work in1. 18.75 days2. 16.75 days3. 12.75 days4. 15.75 days |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : 18.75 days Given, A alone can complete a work in 30 days. B alone can complete the work in 50 days. Formula: Total work = Efficiency × Time Calculation: Total work = 150 units [LCM of 30 and 50] Efficiency of A = 5 units/day Efficiency of B = 3 units/day Total efficiency of A and B = 5 + 3 = 8 units/day 100% of the total work = 150 × (100/100) = 150 units ∴ Time taken by A and B to complete 100% of the total work = 150/8 = 18.75 days |

After 10 years, daughter’s age will be 35 less than the age of mother. The average age of mother and father is 48 years. Before 5 years, the age of father is 4 less than the ten times the age of daughter. Find the present age of mother.1. 45 years2. 49 years3. 51 years4. 40 years5. 55 years |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : 45 years Calculation: Let present age of father, mother and daughter be m years, n years and p years respectively. ⇒ (p + 10) = (n + 10) - 35 ⇒ p = n - 35 Then, ⇒ m + n = 96 ⇒ (m - 5) = 10(p - 5) - 4 ⇒ m - 5 = 10p - 54 ⇒ m = 10p - 49 ⇒ 96 - n = 10p - 49 ⇒ n = 145 - 10p Solving, m = 51 years, n = 45 years and p = 10 years ∴ Present age of mother is 45 years. |

What do you understand by integrated pest management ? |
|
Answer» Integrated pest management (IPM) combines the use of biological, cultural and chemical practices to control insect pests in agricultural production.It seeks to use natural predators or parasites to control pests, using selective pesticides for backup only when pests are unable to be controlled by natural means. IPM should not be confused with organic practices.It does not discourage spraying chemicals; it promotes spraying with selective pesticides only when the crop needs it, which generally means that less pesticide is used. |
