Accepted Answer

Let the fraction be x. The equation is x + 3/x = 31/6. Testing option 3: 9/2 + 3(2/9) = 9/2 + 2/3 = (27+4)/6 = 31/6.

When [x + (1/x)] = 5, then what is the value of [x – (1/x)]? ?

Accepted Answer

Use the identity (x - 1/x)² = (x + 1/x)² - 4. Substituting 5 gives 25 - 4 = 21. Taking the square root yields ±√21.

Question 6

Select the related letters from the given alternatives. GIK : PRT :: DFH : ?

Accepted Answer

Each letter in the first term is shifted forward by 9 positions (G+9=P, I+9=R, K+9=T). Applying the same to DFH (+9), we get MOQ.

Question 7

Mohit buys an old bicycle for Rs 2700 and spends Rs 500 on its repairs. If he sells the bicycle for Rs 3520, then what is his profit percentage? ?

Question 12

If 45 % 11 = 7, 59 % 34 = 7 then what is the value of 55 % 4 = ?

Accepted Answer

Sum the digits of both numbers and subtract the second sum from the first. For 55 % 4: (5+5) - 4 = 10 - 4 = 6.

Question 13

Accepted Answer

Divide 101 successively by 2 and record the remainders. Reading the remainders from bottom to top gives 1100101. Thus, decimal 101 is 1100101 in binary.

Question 14

The weights of 4 boxes are 100, 90, 80 and 40 kilograms. Which of the following cannot be the total weight, in kilograms, of any combination of these boxes and in a combination a box can be used only once?

Accepted Answer

Check combinations: 100+90+80+40 = 310. 100+90+40 = 230. 90+80+40 = 210. No combination of these weights adds up to exactly 200.

Question 15

Which amongst the following is not a Cation?

Accepted Answer

A cation is a positively charged ion. Aluminium, copper, and zinc form positive ions (cations). Sulphate (SO₄²⁻) is a negatively charged ion, making it an anion.

Accepted Answer

Check possible sums: 60+90=150, 20+60+90=170, and 20+40+60=120. However, no combination of the given weights (20, 40, 60, 90) adds up to exactly 160.

Question 17

In the following question, select the related letters from the given alternatives. JPSW : LQUX : : MRFT : ?

Accepted Answer

The pattern follows an alternating addition of +2, +1, +2, +1. Applying this to MRFT: M+2=O, R+1=S, F+2=H, T+1=U, which gives OSHU.

Question 18

There are 45 trees in a row. The lemon tree is 20th from right end. What is the rank of lemon tree from left end?

Accepted Answer

Total trees = 45. Rank from left = Total - Rank from right + 1. So, 45 - 20 + 1 = 25 + 1 = 26.

Question 19

Contact force is another name for _________.

Accepted Answer

Muscular force requires direct physical contact with an object to push or pull it. Therefore, it is fundamentally classified as a contact force, unlike magnetic or electrostatic forces.

Question 20

In what ratio is the segment joining (-1, 3)and (2,-4) divided by the Y axis?

Accepted Answer

The y-axis has an x-coordinate of 0. Using the section formula for the x-coordinate: 0 = (2m - 1n) / (m + n). This gives 2m = n, so the ratio m:n is 1:2.
