  • Question 2/10
    1 / -0.33

    Twinkling of stars in clear sky during nighttime can be explained with

    Solutions

    The correct option is the refraction of light.

    CONCEPT:

    • Refraction: The phenomenon by which a ray of light bends its path when it travels from one transparent medium to another is called refraction of light.
    • The bending happens because the speed of light varies in different mediums.
    • Refractive index: The ratio of the speed of light in the air to the speed of light in the medium is called the refractive index. More will be the ratio of refractive index between two mediums more will be the bending of light. 
    • Atmospheric Refraction: The different layers of the atmosphere have a different refractive indexes. The ray of light coming from some outer space changes continuously bends its path while passing through different atmospheric layers. 

    EXPLANATION:

    • The atmosphere of the earth is made of different layers.
    • It is affected by winds, varying temperatures, and different densities as well.
    • When light from a distant source (a star) passes through our turbulent (moving air) atmosphere, it undergoes refraction many times.
    • When we finally perceive this light from a star, it appears to be twinkling.
    • This is because some of the light rays reach us directly and some bend away from and toward us. It happens so fast that it gives a twinkling effect.

    Important Points

    • This twinkling effect does not happen to the sun or moon because they are very close to the earth and appear big.
    • Stars are very far and appear to us as point size. So, the twinkling effect is visible.
  • Question 3/10
    1 / -0.33

    A small cone of base area 4π cm2 and volume of 12π cm3 is cut from the top of a large cone of base area 16π cm2 and volume of 96π cm3. Find the height of the remaining solid figure.

    Solutions

    ∵ Base area of cone = π(radius)2 & Volume of cone = (1/3)π × (radius)2 × height

    ⇒ The volume of cone = (1/3) × base area × height

    Now, Volume of small cone = 12π cm3

    ⇒ 12π = 1/3 × 4π × Height

    ⇒ Height of small cone = 9 cm

    Similarly, Volume of large cone = 96π cm3

    ⇒ 96π = 1/3 × 16π × Height

    ⇒ Height of large cone = 18 cm

    ∴ Height of remaining solid figure = Height of large cone – Height of small cone = 18 – 9 = 9 cm

  • Question 4/10
    1 / -0.33

    If BATTER is coded as TERTAB and GOTHAM is coded as HAMTOG, what would ICEMAN be coded as?

    Solutions

    The logic follows here:

    BATTER is coded as TERTAB

    Hence, the correct answer is "MANECI".

  • Question 5/10
    1 / -0.33

    The sum of 1 - 1 + 1 - 1 + 1 - 1... to even number of terms is ____.

    Solutions

    Concept:

    Even: Any number in which digits at once place is 0, 2, 4, 6 or 8.

    For example 2, 48, 1000 are even number.

    Calculation:

    Given number series is

    1 - 1 + 1 - 1 + 1 - 1......

    We can see that numbers changes sign at every position and, the sign of numbers in alternate place are same. Hence,

    Sum of first two terms

    = 1 - 1 = 0

    Sum of next two terms

    = 1 - 1 = 0

    We can see that sum of every pair is zero.

    ∴ For an even number of total terms, the value of the series will be zero.

  • Question 6/10
    1 / -0.33

    From the given alternatives select the one which is the mirror image of given Question Figure.

    Solutions

    The logic follows here is:

    When the mirror is placed on the line MN, the left side and right side changed vice-versa where the top and bottom remain the same.

    Thus, the correct mirror image of the given figure will be:

    Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

    Additional Information

    In Mirror image left side and right side changed vice-versa where top and bottom remain the same.

    Reflection of an object into the water is its water image. It appears by inverting an object vertically i.e. upside down.

    The water image of the figure looks like mirror image of the figure in case the mirror is horizontally at the bottom of the figure.

    Water image is just a reflection where top and bottom part of the images changed where left and right side of the image remain same.

    Mistake Points

    Both option 2 and 4 are different, Please check the difference below:

  • Question 7/10
    1 / -0.33

    Vishal borrows Rs. 2500 from Shashank at 4% per annum simple interest and lends it to Abhishek at a compounded interest of 8% per annum If Vishal collects the money back from Abhishek after 2 years and repays Shashank the profit made by Vishal in the transaction is-

    Solutions

    Formula used:

    SI = P * R * T / 100SI = P * R * T / 100

    A = P(1 + R/100)^T

    Where:

    P = Principal amount

    R = Rate of interest

    T = Time period 

    Calculation:

    Simple Interest from Shashank: 

    Using the given values Profit made by Vishal:

    ⇒ SI = 2500 * 4 * 2 / 100 SI = Rs. 200

    S o Vishal owes Shashank Rs. 2500 (principal) + Rs. 200 (simple interest) = Rs. 2700.

    Compound Interest from Abhishek: is compounded

    ⇒ A = 2500 * (1 + 8/100)2 A = 2500 * (1 + 0.08)2

    ⇒ A = 2500 * 1.082 A = 2500 * 1.1664 A ≈ Rs. 2,916

    ∴ Vishal receives Rs. 2,916 from Abhishek.

    Profit from the Transaction: Profit = Amount received from Abhishek - Amount owed to Shashank

    Profit = Rs. 2916 - Rs. 2700 Profit = Rs. 216

    The profit made by Vishal in the transaction is Rs. 216.

  • Question 8/10
    1 / -0.33

    In the question given below, one statement is followed by two conclusions I and II. You have to consider the statement to be true even if it seems to be at variance from commonly known facts. You have to decide which of the given conclusions if any follow from the given statements?

    Statement: Uneducated people are exploited by others in society.

    Conclusions:

    I. People take advantage of uneducated people only.

    II. Educated people exploit uneducated persons in society.

    Solutions

    The logic followed is:

    Given statements:

    Uneducated people are exploited by others in society.

    The statement is talking about uneducated people and how they are exploited by others in the society.

    Conclusions 1: People take advantage of uneducated people only → In the statement it is talking about the exploitation of uneducated people by others in the society, nowhere it is mentioned about the only they are exploited by them no one else other is exploited. 

    Thus conclusion I does not follows.

    Conclusions 2: Educated people exploit uneducated persons in society → It is not related to the given statement. We cannot assume anything on our own. There is no detail about educated people is mentioned so the given conclusion will not follow.

    Hence, the correct answer is "Neither Conclusion I nor II follows".

    Important Points

    If definitive words like all, always, at least, only, exactly, and so on are used, then such words make the conclusion invalid.

    Additional Information

    • If there are two or more sentences that are used to frame a statement, then, the sentences must be interrelated, and mutual contradiction should be there.
    • Do not look for truthful notions. The information provided in the statement is the only requirement for a student to answer the question. No assumptions must be made.
    • Read the statement carefully and look for keywords that are common between the statement and the conclusions.
    • If there is more than one conclusion that is applicable to the statement, students must ensure that the conclusions they opt for have some relation with each other.
