Question : A ball is to be made with an inner radius of 2 units and an outside radius of 3 units. How much material is required to make the ball?
Option 1: $\frac{19}{3} \pi$
Option 2: $19 \pi$
Option 3: $\frac{76}{3} \pi$
Option 4: $\pi$
Correct Answer: $\frac{76}{3} \pi$
Solution : Given: Inner radius of 2 units and outside radius of 3 units. The volume of a spherical shell is $\frac{4}{3}\pi(R^{3} - r^{3})$, where the outer radius is $R$ and the inner radius is $r$. $=\frac{4}{3}\pi(3^{3} - 2^{3})$ $=\frac{4}{3}\pi(27-8)$ $=\frac{76}{3} \pi$ Hence, the correct answer

Question : Directions: Study the table and answer the question. The number of five types of cycles manufactured by a company over the years is given below:
The production of the E type of cycle in 2001 was what percentage of the production of the B type in 2000?
Option 1: 40
Option 2: 50
Option 3: 45
Option 4: 25
Correct Answer: 50
Solution : Production of the B type of the cycle in 2000 = 160 Production of the E type of the cycle in 2001 = 80 Required percentage = $\frac{\text{Production of E type in 2001}}{\text{Production of B type in 2000}}$× 100 = $\frac{80×100}{160}$ = 50% The production
Question : Two cars, A and B, travel from one city to another at speeds of 72 km/h and 90 km/h, respectively. If car B takes 1 hour less than car A for the journey, then what is the distance (in kilometres) between the two cities?
Option 1: 270
Option 2: 360
Option 3: 240
Option 4: 400
Correct Answer: 360
Solution : Let the time taken by car A be $x$ hour. So the time taken by car B is $(x–1)$ hour. According to the question, $72x = 90(x – 1)$ ⇒ $90x–72x = 90$ ⇒ $18x = 90$ ⇒ $x = \frac{90}{18}=5$ hours So, the distance
Question : Why is carbon monoxide a pollutant?
Option 1: Reacts with haemoglobin
Option 2: Makes the nervous system inactive
Option 3: It reacts with oxygen
Option 4: It inhibits glycolysis
Correct Answer: Reacts with haemoglobin

Option 3: $33\frac{2}{3}\%$
Option 4: $66\frac{1}{3}\%$
Correct Answer: $66\frac{2}{3}\%$
Solution : Given: A's salary is 40% less than B. Let salary of B = 100 units Then, salary of A = B – 40% of B = 100 – ($\frac{40}{100}$ × 100) = 60 units Percentage of B's salary more than A $=\frac{B-A}{A} × 100 =
