Question : The area of a rectangular field is 480 m2. If the length is 20% more than the breadth, then the length of the rectangular field is:
Option 1: 30 m
Option 2: 20 m
Option 3: 24 m
Option 4: 27 m
Correct Answer: 24 m
Solution : Given: The area of a rectangular field = $480\ m^2$ Let the breadth be $10x$ Length is 20% more than breadth = $\frac{120}{100}\times10x$ $= 12x$ Area of the rectangle = length × breadth ⇒ $480 = 10x \times 12x$ ⇒ $480 = 120x^2$ ⇒

Question : A boy goes from home to school at a speed of 30 km/hr and returns back at a speed of 70 km/hr. What is his average speed for the journey?
Option 1: 42 km/hr
Option 2: 48 km/hr
Option 3: 38 km/hr
Option 4: 36 km/hr
Correct Answer: 42 km/hr
Solution : Given: Going speed = 30 km/hr Returning speed = 70 km/hr We know that, $\text{Average speed} =\frac{2S_1S_2}{S_1+S_2}=\frac{2×30×70}{30+70}=42$ km/hr Hence, the correct answer is 42 km/hr.
Question : Genes are not found in pairs
Option 1: in body cells
Option 2: in the ovary after fertilisation
Option 3: in gametes
Option 4: in zygotes
Correct Answer: in gametes
Solution : The correct option is in gametes.
Genes are not found in pairs in gametes. The specialised reproductive cells known as gametes, which include sperm, and egg cells, are haploid, meaning they have half as many chromosomes as the organism's diploid somatic (body) cells. The

Question : In $\triangle ABC, \angle B=90^{\circ}$ and AB : BC = 1 : 2. The value of $\cos A+\tan C$ is:
Option 1: $\frac{5+\sqrt{5}}{2 \sqrt{5}}$
Option 2: $\frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{2 \sqrt{5}}$
Option 3: $\frac{2 \sqrt{5}}{2+\sqrt{5}}$
Option 4: $\frac{2+\sqrt{5}}{2 \sqrt{5}}$
Correct Answer: $\frac{2+\sqrt{5}}{2 \sqrt{5}}$
Solution : In $\triangle ABC, \angle B=90^{\circ}$ AB : BC = 1 : 2 ⇒ $\frac{\text{AB}}{\text{BC}} = \frac{1}{2}$ ⇒ $\frac{\text{AB}}{1} = \frac{\text{BC}}{2}=$ k ⇒ AB = k, BC = 2k Using the Pythagoras theorem, AC$^2$ = BC$^2$ + AB$^2$ = (2k)$^2$ + k$^2$ = 5k$^2$ So,
Question : If a certain sum becomes 3 times in 6 years at compound interest, then in how many years, it will become 81 times?
Option 1: 81 years
Option 2: 162 years
Option 3: 27 years
Option 4: 24 years
Correct Answer: 24 years
Solution : By applying the formula: Amount = P[$(1+\frac{r}{100})^n$] where P is principal, $r$ is the rate of interest compounded annually for $n$ years. Let the sum be $x$, then: Amount = $x(1+\frac{r}{100})^6 = 3x$ ⇒ $(1+\frac{r}{100})^6 = \frac{3x}{x}=3$ ⇒ $(1+\frac{r}{100}) =3^\frac{1}{6}$ Now, the sum becomes
Question : Select the water-soluble vitamin among the following.
Option 1: Vitamin K
Option 2: Vitamin D
Option 3: Vitamin C
Option 4: Vitamin A
Correct Answer: Vitamin C
Solution : The correct option is Vitamin C.
Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is a water-soluble vitamin. This means it dissolves in water and is not stored in the body for long periods. Unlike fat-soluble vitamins (such as vitamins A, D, E and K),
Question : What will be the amount of Rs. 12500 at the rate of 20% per annum compounded yearly for 3 years?
Option 1: Rs. 21080
Option 2: Rs. 21560
Option 3: Rs. 20600
Option 4: Rs. 21600
Correct Answer: Rs. 21600
Solution : Principal, P = Rs. 12500 Rate of interest, $r$ = 20% Time, $n$ = 3 years According to the question, Amount = P[$(1+\frac{r}{100})^n$], where P is principal, $r$ is the rate of interest compounded annually for $n$ years. ⇒ Amount = 12500$(1+\frac{20}{100})^3$ = 12500$(\frac{6}{5})^3$
