- Question
What is the product of a number and its reciprocal?
Options- A. 0
- B. 1
- C. -ve of the number
- D. the number itself
- Correct Answer
- 1
ExplanationThe product of a number and its reciprocal is always equals to 1.
For Example : Let the number be 4.
Now, its reciprocal is 1/4
Hence, required product = 4 x 1/4 = 1.
Now, take the number as -15.
Then its reciprocal is -1/15
Required product = -15 x -1/15 = 1.
Hence, the product of a number and its reciprocal is 1.

- 4. An intelligent boy is doing a jigsaw with 275 pieces. Each day that he fits pieces together there are fewer pieces left, and it is reasonable to assume that he fits more pieces each day because the number left to sort out diminishes progressively. Hence he is able to fit an extra piece as each day goes by. On the first day he fits 20 pieces. How many days does it take for him to complete the puzzle ?
Options- A. 11 days
- B. 15 days
- C. 13 days
- D. 16 days Discuss

Correct Answer: is described generally, not using a formal definition
Explanation:
In geometry, we can define plane as a flat surface with no thickness.
The surface extends with no ends.
A plane does not have any edges even if we draw it on paper with edges, it does't mean it has edges.
Hence, A plane is an undefined term because it is described generally, not using a formal definition.
Correct Answer: 50
Explanation:
15 girls are absent => b = 2(g-15)...... eqn...(1)
45 boys are absent => g - 15 = 5(b-45).....eqn...(2)
=> g = 5(b-45) + 15
=> b = 2((5(b-45)+15)-15)
=> b = 2(5b - 225 + 15 - 15)
=> b = 2(5b-225)
=> b = 10b - 450
=> 9b = 450
=> b = 50
so from equation(2)
g - 15 = 5(b - 45)
=> g - 15 = 5(50-45)
=> g - 15 = 5(5)
=> g = 25 + 15
=> g = 40
Therefore, the number of boys = 50 and girls = 40
Correct Answer: 54
Explanation:
Let R, G and B represent the number of balls in red, green and blue boxes respectively.
Then, .
R + G + B = 108 ...(i),
G + R = 2B ...(ii)
B = 2R ...(iii)
From (ii) and (iii), we have G + R = 2x 2R = 4R or G = 3R.
Putting G = 3R and B = 2R in (i), we get:
R + 3R + 2R = 108 6R = 108 R = 18.
Therefore Number of balls in green box = G = 3R = (3 x 18) = 54.
Correct Answer: 11 days
Explanation:
Let 'n' number of days it take to complete.
we know that sum of n number= n/2[2a+(n-1)d]
where a=20,d=1;
n/2[2x20+(n-1)1]=275
n[n+39]=550
+ 39n - 550 = 0
+ 50n - 11n - 550 = 0
(n-11) (n-50) = 0
n-11 = 0;
n = 11(Days).
Correct Answer: 240 gms
Explanation:
The nine pieces consist of 8 smaller equal pieces and one half cake piece.
Weight of each small piece = 15 g.
So, total weight of the cake = [2 x (15 x 8)]g = 240 g.
Correct Answer: 1/7
Explanation:
Multiplicative inverse is nothing but a reciprocal of a number.
It is defined as one of a pair of numbers that when multiplied with another number equals the number 1.
Multiplicative inverse or reciprocal of 7 is
7 x n = 1
=> n = 1/7.
Hence, Multiplicative inverse or reciprocal of 7 is 1/7.
Correct Answer: Complimentary angles
Explanation:
Complimentary angles are those two angles whose sum is 90 whereas two angles whose sum is 180 are called Supplementary angles.
Correct Answer: 33, 44, 55
Explanation:
A Pythagorean triple consists of three positive integers a, b, and c, such that a² + b² = c².
Here we know, that 3, 4, 5 are pythagorean triplets as 25 = 9 + 16. Hence, its multiple will also be a pythagorean triple.
In the options given, (3 x 11 , 4 x 11 , 5 x 11) = 33, 44, 55 is a pythagorean triplet.
Correct Answer: All of the above
Explanation:
The letter A has a vertical axis of symmetry.
The letter C has a horizontal axis of symmetry.
The letter O has more than one axis of symmetry, including vertical axis and horizontal axis.
Correct Answer: 0
Explanation:
A tangent contains ZERO chords, as it touches the circle at only one point.
Hence, it does not contain any chord.
