Question : The time in which a train 1800 m long, travelling at the speed of 30 km/hr, will pass a signal pole is:
Option 1: 200 seconds
Option 2: 250 seconds
Option 3: 220 seconds
Option 4: 216 seconds
Correct Answer: 216 seconds
Solution : Given: A train 1800 m long, travelling at the speed of 30 km/hr. Convert km/hr into m/s by multiplying it with $\frac{5}{18}$. ⇒ 30 km/hr = 30 × $\frac{5}{18}$ = $\frac{25}{3}$ m/s Now, $\text{Time}=\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}}$ So, the time in which a train passes a signal pole $=\frac{1800}{\frac{25}{3}}=\frac{1800\times 3}{25}=216$ seconds Hence, the correct answer is 216 seconds.
Question : The selling price of a desktop is 9 times the profit earned on selling this desktop. What is the profit percentage?
Option 1: 10%
Option 2: 12.5%
Option 3: 11.11%
Option 4: 8.33%
Correct Answer: 12.5%
Solution : Let's the cost price of the desktop as $C$, the profit as $P$, and the selling price as $S$ Selling Price = Cost Price + Profit ⇒ $S = 9P$ ⇒ $C + P = 9P$ ⇒ $C = 8P$ So, Profit % = $\frac{Profit}{Cost Price}$×100 = $\frac{P}{8P}$ ×100 = 12.5% Hence, the correct answer is 12.5%.
Question : The enormous amount of energy released in the explosion of an atomic bomb is due to the
Option 1: Conversion of mass into energy
Option 2: Conversion of chemical energy into heat energy
Option 3: Conversion of mechanical energy into nuclear energy
Option 4: Conversion of neutrons into protons
Correct Answer: Conversion of neutrons into protons
Solution : The correct answer is the Conversion of neutrons into protons.
The release of an enormous amount of energy in an atomic bomb explosion is caused by the conversion of neutrons into protons. When a neutron collides with the nucleus of an atom of uranium-235 or plutonium-239, it splits the nucleus into two fragments. Each of these fragments is a nucleus with about half of the protons and neutrons of the original nucleus.
