Every month a man consumes 25 kg rice and 9 kg wheat. The price of rice is 20% of the price of wheat and thus he spends total Rs. 350 on the rice and wheat per month. If the price of wheat is increased by 20% then what is the percentage reduction of rice consumption for the same expenditure of Rs. 350? Given that the p...
[ "24%", "40%", "36%", "25%" ]
C
Solution: Let the price of wheat is x per kg. Then price of wheat will be 5x per kg. Expenditure on rice = 25*x = 25x. Expenditure of wheat = 9*5x = 45x. Total cost, 25x + 45x = 350. 70x = 350. x = 5. Hence, price of Rice = Rs. 5 per kg. Price of wheat = 25 per kg. Now, price of wheat = 25 ---- 20% ↑----> Rs. 30 per kg...

A 270 m long train running at the speed of 120 kmph crosses another train running in opposite direction at the speed of 80 kmph in 9 seconds.What is the length of the other train?
[ "240 m", "350 m", "260 m", "230 m" ]
D
speed of first train= (120 * 5/18)m/sec = 100/3 m/sec speed of other Train= (80 * 5/18)m/sec = 200/9 m/sec time to cross each other= 9 sec Let x be the length of 2nd train therefore 9 = (270+ x)/(100/3 +200/9) 500 = 270 + x 230m = x ANSWER:A

What type of energy from a warm cola results in melting when it is transferred to the much colder ice?
[ "gaseous energy", "thermal energy", "cyclic energy", "protective energy" ]
B
How do you cool down a glass of room-temperature cola? You probably add ice cubes to it, as in the Figure below . You might think that the ice cools down the cola, but in fact, it works the other way around. The warm cola heats up the ice. Thermal energy from the warm cola is transferred to the much colder ice, causing...

Set S is the prime integers between 0 and 45. If three numbers are chosen randomly from set S, what is the probability that the sum of these three numbers is odd?
[ "11/14", "5/8", "15/28", "3/8" ]
A
Total number of combinations=14C3=364...............(1) Total number of combinations including 2 and two other numbers=13C2=78......................(2) Therefore the difference ie. (1)-(2) is the set of 3 primes without 2=(364-78)=286 So, probability=286/364=11/14 E
