Question : If 2A = 3B and 3B = 2C, then what is $A:B:C$?
Option 1: $3:2:3$
Option 2: $2:3:2$
Option 3: $1:3:1$
Option 4: $2:3:4$
Correct Answer: $3:2:3$
Solution : 2A = 3B and 3B = 2C ⇒ $ A= \frac{3B}{2}$ and $C = \frac{3B}{2}$ So, the required ratio is, $A:B:C = \frac{3B}{2} : B : \frac{3B}{2}$ ⇒ $A:B:C = 3:2:3$ Hence, the correct answer is $3:2:3$.
Question : Five bells ring together at the intervals of 3, 5, 8, 9, and 10 seconds. All the bells ring simultaneously at the same time. They will again ring simultaneously after:
Option 1: 6 minutes
Option 2: 8 minutes
Option 3: 9 minutes
Option 4: 4 minutes
Correct Answer: 6 minutes
Solution : Five bells ring together at intervals of 3, 5, 8, 9, and 10 seconds Calculation: By taking the Least Common Multiple for 3, 5, 8, 9, and 10 seconds = 360 seconds = 6 minutes $\therefore$ All the bell rings together in 6 minutes.
Question : Two identical circles intersect so that their centres and the points at which they intersect form a square of side $2\;\mathrm{cm}$. What is the area (in$\;\mathrm{cm^2}$) of the portion common to the two circles?
Option 1: $2\pi -4$
Option 2: $4\pi -8$
Option 3: $3\pi -4$
Option 4: $\pi -2$
Correct Answer: $2\pi -4$
Solution : The length of each side of the formed square is $2\;\mathrm{cm}$. The length of the radii of the circles = $2\;\mathrm{cm}$ The area of square $=(2\;\mathrm{cm})^2 = 4\;\mathrm{cm^2}$ The area of each circle $=\pi \times 2^2 = 4\pi\;\mathrm{cm^2}$ The area of each sector of
Question : Raman is 25% more efficient than Aman. If Aman can complete a piece of work in 25 days, Raman can complete the same work in how many days?
Option 1: 12
Option 2: 15
Option 3: 16
Option 4: 20
Correct Answer: 20
Solution : Let Aman be 100% efficient. Then Raman will be 125% efficient. Now, 100% efficient can do work in 25 days, 1% efficient will do work in $25 \times 100$ days. $\therefore$ 125% efficient can do work in $\frac{25 \times 100}{125}$ = 20 days Hence, the
Question : The purity of a metal can be determined with the help of
Option 1: Pascal's law
Option 2: Boyle's law
Option 3: Archimedes Principle
Option 4: Conservation of mass principle
Correct Answer: Archimedes Principle
Solution : The correct option is Archimedes' principle.
Archimedes' principle can be used to determine the purity of a metal. The buoyant force exerted on a body submerged in a fluid by Archimedes' principle is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the
Question : Directions: In the given figure, the circle stands for intelligent, the square stands for hard-working, the triangle for postgraduate, and the rectangle for loyal employees. Study the figure and indicate the number that represents post-graduate employees who are hard-working and intelligent but not loyal.
Option 2: 11
Option 3: 10
Option 4: 9
Correct Answer: 11
Solution : In the figure given below, the shaded part is the overlapping region between the post-graduate employees who are hard-working and intelligent but not loyal.
So, the region of post-graduate employees who are hard-working and intelligent but not loyal is 11. Hence, the second option is

Question : The simple interest on a sum of money for 3 years is Rs. 240 and the compound interest on the same sum at the same rate for 2 years is Rs. 170. The rate of interest is:
Option 1: $8$%
Option 2: $29\frac{1}{6}$%
Option 3: $12\frac{1}{2}$%
Option 4: $5\frac{5}{17}$%
Correct Answer: $12\frac{1}{2}$%
Solution : Simple interest (SI) for 1 year = $\frac{240}{3}$ = Rs. 80 ⇒ Simple interest for 2 years = 80 × 2 = Rs. 160 Difference between compound interest (CI) and SI for 2 years = 170 – 160 = Rs. 10 which is interest on
