Question 5

A, B and C invested amounts in the ratio 3 : 4 : 5 respectively. If the schemes offered compound interest at the rate of 20% per annum, 15% per annum and 10% per annum respectively, then what will be the ratio of their amounts after 1 year?

Accepted Answer

Substitute the standard trigonometric values: Sec 45° = √2 and Tan 30° = 1/√3. The expression evaluates to 2√2 + 1/√3. (Note: Options appear corrupted in the source).

Question 8

In which graphics, digital photos and scanned images are typically stored with extensions such as.bmp, .png, .jpg, .tif or.gif?

Accepted Answer

Digital photos and scanned images with extensions like .bmp, .png, .jpg, .tif, and .gif are raster graphics, commonly known as bitmap graphics, which store image data as a grid of pixels.

Question 9

If x + [1/(4x)] = 5/2, then what is the value of (64x6 + 1)/8x3?

Accepted Answer

Multiply the given equation by 2 to get 2x + 1/(2x) = 5. The required expression simplifies to (2x)³ + 1/(2x)³. Using a³ + 1/a³ = k³ - 3k, we get 5³ - 3(5) = 110.

Question 10

ABC is an equilateral triangle and P is the orthocenter of the triangle, then what is the value (in degrees) of ∠BPC? ?

Accepted Answer

In any triangle, the angle at the orthocenter ∠BPC = 180° - ∠A. Since ABC is equilateral, ∠A = 60°. Thus, ∠BPC = 180° - 60° = 120°.

Question 11

What is the minimum age for becoming a Governor of state in India?

Accepted Answer

Article 157 of the Indian Constitution states that a person must be a citizen of India and have completed 35 years of age to be eligible for appointment as Governor.

Question 12

What is the fourth proportional to 72, 168 and 150?

Accepted Answer

Let the fourth proportional be x. The proportion is 72 : 168 :: 150 : x. Therefore, x = (168 × 150) / 72 = 25200 / 72 = 350.

Question 13

What is the other name of Galileo's law of falling bodies?

Accepted Answer

Galileo's law of falling bodies led to the concept of inertia, stating objects maintain their state of motion unless acted upon by a force, which is exactly Newton's first law.

Question 14

With which country India did its seventh edition of bilateral EKUVERIN Exercise 2016 at Kadhdhoo?

Accepted Answer

Exercise EKUVERIN is a joint military exercise conducted between India and the Maldives. The 7th edition was held in 2016 at Kadhdhoo, Maldives, focusing on counter-terrorism operations.

Question 15

P is a point outside the circle at distance of 6.5 cm from centre O of the circle. PR be a secant such that it intersects the circle at Q and R. If PQ = 4.5 cm and QR = 3.5 cm, then what is the radius (in cm) of the circle?

Accepted Answer

Using the secant property: PQ × PR = OP² - r². Here, PR = 4.5 + 3.5 = 8. So, 4.5 × 8 = 6.5² - r², which gives 36 = 42.25 - r². Thus, r² = 6.25, meaning r = 2.5 cm.

Question 16

What is the area (in sq cm) of a regular hexagon of side 9 cm?

Accepted Answer

The area of a regular hexagon is calculated using the formula (3√3/2) × a², where 'a' is the side length. For a = 9, Area = (3√3/2) × 81 = 243√3/2.

Question 17

Select the related word from the given alternatives. Tongue : Taste :: Nose : ?

Accepted Answer

The tongue is the primary sensory organ used for tasting. Similarly, the nose is the sensory organ used for the function of smelling.

Accepted Answer

The numbers form an arithmetic progression from 12 to 78. The average of an AP is (first term + last term)/2. So, (12 + 78)/2 = 90/2 = 45.

Question 19

The method of soil conservation in the coastal and dry regions where rows of trees are planted to check the wind movement to protect soil cover is called?

Accepted Answer

Shelter belts involve planting rows of trees to block wind, significantly reducing wind erosion in coastal and dry areas. This effectively protects the valuable topsoil from being blown away.
