1. Which of the following statements is not correct?
A. [latex]log_{10}[/latex] 10 = 1
B. log (2 + 3) = log (2 x 3)
C. [latex]log_{10}[/latex] 1 = 0
D. log (1 + 2 + 3) = log 1 + log 2 + log 3
Answer: Option B
Answer: Option
A. Since [latex]log_{a}[/latex] a = 1, so [latex]log_{10}[/latex] 10 = 1.
B. log (2 + 3) = log 5 and log (2 x 3) = log 6 = log 2 + log 3
log (2 + 3) ≠ log (2 x 3)
C. Since [latex]log_{a}[/latex] 1 = 0, so [latex]log_{10}[/latex] 1 = 0.
D. log (1 + 2 + 3) = log 6 = log (1 x 2 x 3) = log 1 + log 2 + log 3.
So, B is incorrect.
2. If in a game of 80, P can give 16 points to Q and R can give 20 points to P, then in a game of 150, how many points can R give to Q?
Answer: Option B
Answer: Option
When P scores 80, Q scores 64.
When R scores 80, P scores 60
Hence, when R scores 150, Q scores (60 * 64 * 150) / (80 * 80) = 90
Therefore, in a game of 150, R can give 60 points to Q.
3. In a regular week, there are 5 working days and for each day, the working hours are 8. A man gets Rs. 2.40 per hour for regular work and Rs. 3.20 per hours for overtime. If he earns Rs. 432 in 4 weeks, then how many hours does he work for?
A. 160
B. 175
C. 180
D. 195
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
Suppose the man works overtime for x hours.
Now, working hours in 4 weeks = (5 x 8 x 4) = 160.
160 x 2.40 + x x 3.20 = 432
3.20x = 432 - 384 = 48
x = 15.
Hence, total hours of work = (160 + 15) = 175.
4. Two cars cover the same distance at the speed of 60 and 64 kmps respectively. Find the distance traveled by them if the slower car takes 1 hour more than the faster car.
A. 906 km
B. 960 m
C. 960 km
D. 966 km
Answer: Option C
Explanation
60(x + 1) = 64x
X = 15
60 * 16 = 960 km
5. 5 mat-weavers can weave 5 mats in 5 days. At the same time, how many mats would be woven by 10 mat- weavers in 10 days?
A. 10 mats
B. 15 mats
C. 20 mats
D. 30 mats
Answer:
Explanation
More mats are weaved if more weavers work. Hence, this problem is related to a direct proportion.
Let the required number of mats be x.
Total 5 mats can be weaved in 5 days by 5 weavers.
\[5: x::
\begin{cases}
5 : 10 - - - (Weavers)\\
5 : 10 - - - (Days)
\end{cases}
\]
5 × 5 × x = 10 × 10 × 5
x = [latex]\frac {10 \times 10 \times 5}{5 \times 5}[/latex] = 20
20 mats can be weaved in 10 days by 10 mat weavers.
