- Question
- A clock is set right at 9 pm. The clock gains 10 min in 24 h. What will be true time, when the clock indicates 2 pm on the following day?
Options- A. 48 min past 12
- B. 48 min past 11
- C. 48 min past 1
- D. 48 min past 2
- Correct Answer
- 48 min past 1
ExplanationTime from 9 pm in a day to 2 pm on the following day = 29 h.
24 h 10 min of this clock = 24 h of the correct clock
or 145/6 h of this clock = 24 h of the correct clock
29 h of this clock = 24 x (6/145) x 29 h of the correct clock
= 28 h 48 min of correct clock
? The correct time is 28 h 48 min after 9 am. This will be 48 min past 1. - 1. If the HCF of m and n is 1, then what are the HCF of m + n, m and HCF of m - n, n, respectively (where, m > n)?

Correct Answer: 1 and 1
Explanation:
The HCF of m and n is 1, so m and n are prime number.
Let m = 7 and n = 5 ? m + n = 12
HCF of(m + n)and m = HCF of 12 and 7 = 1
Similarly, HCF of (m - n) and n = 1
Correct Answer: 48
Explanation:
Let be the ten's digit be x and unit's digit be y.
So the two digit number = 10x + y ( where x > y )
According to question
x + y = 14 ....(i)
x - y = 2 ....(ii)
Solving Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get
x = 8 and y = 6
? Required product = 8 x 6 = 48
Correct Answer: 10.8
Explanation:
Increase in 3 years over 100 = 100 x {1 + 7/(2 x 100)}3
= (100 x 207/200 x 207/200 x 207/200)
= (200 + 7)3 / 80000
= 88869743 / 80000 = 110.8718
Required increase % = (110.8 - 100)% = 10.8%
Correct Answer: 2
Explanation:
? 2log4x = 1 + log4(x-1)
? log4x2 = log44 + log4(x-1)
? x2 = 4(x-1)
? x2 - 4x + 4 = 0
? (x-2)2 = 0
? x = 2
Correct Answer: 77/9%
Explanation:
Let the rate of interest allowed by bank be r%
According to the question,
[(12000 x 5 x 10)/100] - [(12000 x 3 x r)/100] = 3320
? 6000 - 360r = 3320
? 360r = 6000 - 3320 = 2680
? r = 2680/360 = 74/9%
Correct Answer: 0.4771
Explanation:
Given log90 = 1.9542
? log(32 x 10) = 1.9542
? 2log 3 + log 10 = 1.9542
? log 3 = 0.9542 / 2 = 0.4771
Correct Answer: 2/7
Explanation:
A leap year has 366 days = 52 weeks + 2 days. These 2 days can be (Sunday, Monday, Wednesday) .... or (Saturday, Sunday). Out of these total 7 out comes there are 2 cases favourable to the desired event i, e. (Sunday, Monday) and (Monday, Tuesday)
? Required probability = 2/7
Correct Answer: ab a+b
Explanation:
Correct Answer: None of these
Explanation:
Let C(O, r) is a circle and let M is a point within it where O is the centre and r is the radius of the circle.
Let CD is another chord passes through point M.
We have to prove that AB < CD.
Now join OM and draw OL perpendicular to CD.
In right angle triangle OLM,
OM is the hypotenuse.
So OM > OL
? chord CD is nearer to O in comparison to AB.
? CD > AB
? AB < CD
So all chords of a circle of a circle at a given point within it, the smallest is one which is bisected at that point.
Hence required answer will be option D .
Correct Answer: 10 m
Explanation:
From given figure , we can see that
Let AB = 16 m , OM = 6 m , AM = BM = 8 m and OA = r
In triangle AMO ,
By pythagoras theorem ,
OA2 = AM2 + OM2
OA2 = 82 + 62 = 64 + 36
OA2 = 100 ? OA = ? 100 = 10
? OA = r = 10 m
The radius of the circular lawn = 10 m
