The ratio between the length and the breadth of a rectangular plot is 7 : 5. If the perimeter of the plot is 432 metres, what is its area?
[ "11340 sq.metres", "11320 sq.metres", "11280 sq.metres", "None of these" ]
A
Let the length and breadth be 7x and 5x respectively. Then, P = 2(7x + 5x) = 432⇒ x = 18 Area = 7 × 18 × 5 × 18 = 11340 sq.m. Answer D

What material is transported in a process called longshore drift?
[ "sediment", "boats", "foods", "grass" ]
A
The transport of sediments by longshore currents is called longshore drift . Longshore drift is created in this way: Sediment is moved up the beach by an incoming wave. The wave approaches at an angle to the shore. Water then moves straight offshore. The sediment moves straight down the beach with it. The sediment is a...

A certain theater has 100 balcony seats. For every $2 increase in the price of a balcony seat above $10, 5 fewer seats will be sold. If all the balcony seats are sold when the price of each seat is $10, which of the following could be the price of a balcony seat if the revenue from the sale of balcony seats is $1,460 ?
[ "$18", "$18.6", "$14", "$17" ]
B
I solved it as follows: 10+2(x) = 100 -5(x) x= 12 Equation should be (10+$2*x)(100-5x)=1,460, where x is the # of times we increased the price by $2. (10+$2*x)(100-5x)=1,460 --> (5+x)(20-x)=146 --> x=4.3 or x=10.7 --> price=10+$2*4.3=$18.6 or price=10+$2*10.7=$31.4. Answer: C.

If pollination occurs, what does the zygote develop into?
[ "an egg", "a sperm", "an ovum", "an embryo" ]
D
Pollination occurs when pollen is transferred from a male to female cone. If sperm then travel from the pollen to an egg so fertilization can occur, a diploid zygote results. The zygote develops into an embryo within a seed, which forms from the ovule inside the female cone. If the seed germinates, it may grow into a m...

Mother is aged 3times more than her daughter Rose. After 8 years, she would be two and a 1/2times of Rose's age. After further 8 years, how many times would he be of Rose's age?
[ "5", "2", "3", "1" ]
B
Let Ronit's present age be x years. Then, father's present age =(x + 3x) years = 4x years. (4x + 8) = 5 (x + 8) 2 8x + 16 = 5x + 40 3x = 24 x = 8. Hence, required ratio = (4x + 16)/(x + 16) = 48/24= 2. B

B
A mycorrhiza (Greek for "fungus roots") is a symbiotic association between a fungus and the roots of a plant.

[ "6", "12", "24", "48" ]
D
Dhoni have to sit at either of the ends. If Dhoni sits on the left most corner, then other 5 friends can be arranged in 4! = 24 David can also sit on the other end, then another 4! ways we can arrange. So total number of ways = 24+24 = 48 Answer : B
