In each question below are given two statements followed by two conclusions numbered 1 and 2 . You have to take the given two statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance from commonly known facts. Read the conclusion and then decide which of the given conclusions logically follows from the two given statements, disregarding commonly known facts.

Statements: All good athletes win. All good athletes eat well.

Conclusions:

1. All those who eat well are good athletes.
2. All those who win eat well.
- Only conclusion I follows
- Only conclusion II follows
- Either I or II follows
- Neither I nor II follows
- Both I and II follow

A number of friends decided to go on a picnic and planned to spend Rs. 96 on eatables. Four of them, however, did not turn up. As a consequence, the remaining ones had to contribute Rs. 4 each extra. The number of those who attended the picnic was
- 9
- 10
- 8
- 25
Correct

Lets the number of person be x. then

$\frac{96}{x-4}-\frac{96}{x}=4$

$\frac{1}{x-4}- \frac{1}{x}=\frac{4}{96}$

$\frac{x-(x-4)}{x(x-4)}=\frac{1}{24}$

$x^{2}-4x-96=0$

(x - 12) (x + 8) = 0

x = 12

so required number = x - 4 = 8

Incorrect

Lets the number of person be x. then

$\frac{96}{x-4}-\frac{96}{x}=4$

$x^{2}-4x-96=0$

(x - 12) (x + 8) = 0

x = 12

A, B, C, D and E play a game of cards. A says to B, "If you give me three cards, you will have as many as E has and if I give you three cards, you will have as many as D has." A and B together have 10 cards more than what D and E together have. If B has two cards more than what C has and the total number of cards be 133, how many cards does B have?
- 20
- 25
- 15
- 35
Correct

Clearly, we have :

B - 3 = E ...(i)

B + 3 = D ...(ii)

A + B = D + E+10 ...(iii)

B = C + 2 ...(iv)

A + B + C + D + E= 133 ...(v)

From (i) and (ii), we have : 2 B = D + E ...(vi)

From (iii) and (vi), we have : A = B + 10 ...(vii)

Using (iv), (vi) and (vii) in (v), we get:

(B + 10) + B + (B - 2) + 2B = 133

5B = 125

B = 25.

Incorrect

Clearly, we have :

B - 3 = E ...(i)

From (i) and (ii), we have : 2 B = D + E ...(vi)

From (iii) and (vi), we have : A = B + 10 ...(vii)

Using (iv), (vi) and (vii) in (v), we get:

(B + 10) + B + (B - 2) + 2B = 133

50. Question

A woman says, "If you reverse my own age, the figures represent my husband's age. He is, of course, senior to me and the difference between our ages is one-eleventh of their sum." The woman's age is
- 44 Years
- 55 Years
- 45 years
- 35 Years
Correct

Let x and y be the ten's and unit's digits respectively of the numeral denoting the woman's age.

Then, woman's age = (10x + y) years; husband's age = (10y + x) years.

Therefore (10y + x)- (10x + y) = $\left ( \frac{1}{11} \right )$ (10y + x + 10x + y)

(9y-9x) = $\left ( \frac{1}{11} \right )$ (11y + 11x) = (x + y)

10x = 8y

x = $\left ( \frac{4}{5} \right )$ y

Clearly, y should be a single-digit multiple of 5, which is 5.

So, x = 4, y = 5.

Hence, woman's age = 10x + y = 45 years.

Incorrect

Let x and y be the ten's and unit's digits respectively of the numeral denoting the woman's age.

Then, woman's age = (10x + y) years; husband's age = (10y + x) years.

Therefore (10y + x)- (10x + y) = $\left ( \frac{1}{11} \right )$ (10y + x + 10x + y)

(9y-9x) = $\left ( \frac{1}{11} \right )$ (11y + 11x) = (x + y)

10x = 8y

x = $\left ( \frac{4}{5} \right )$ y

Clearly, y should be a single-digit multiple of 5, which is 5.

So, x = 4, y = 5.

Hence, woman's age = 10x + y = 45 years.

Here safety factor = 3

Noe safety factor , n = $\frac{Ultimate\: stress}{Admissible\: stress}=\frac{F}{F_{1}}$

$\therefore \frac{F}{N}=\frac{mg}{A}$

$\Rightarrow A=\frac{mgn}{F}=\frac{550\times 9.8\times 3}{1.1\times 10^{8}}$

or A = $14.7\times 10^{-5}m^{2}$

Incorrect

Stress = $F_{1}=\frac{mg}{A}$

What will be the force of attraction between two parallel plates separated by a distance, d = 0.2 mm after a water drop of mass = 80 mg is introduced between them? The wetting is assumed to be complete. Surface tension of water = 0.07 N/m.
- 10.28 N
- 0.27 N
- 0.29 N
- 0.30 N
Correct

The pressure inside the liquid film in excess of the atmospheric pressure is given by P = $\frac{2T}{d}$ : Where T = Surface tension
Force of attraction between plates = $\frac{2T}{d}A$

Where A is the circular area over which the liquid wets the plate.

$\therefore F=\frac{2TAd\rho}{\rho d^{2}}=\frac{2Tm}{\rho d^{2}}$

$\rho =10^{3}Kg/m^{3}$ = density of water

$\therefore F=\frac{2\times 0.07\times 80\times 10^{-6}}{10^{3}\times 4\times 10^{-8}}$ = 10.28 N

Incorrect

The pressure inside the liquid film in excess of the atmospheric pressure is given by P = $\frac{2T}{d}$ : Where T = Surface tension

Correct

Power = $\frac{Work}{time}=\frac{force\times displacement}{time}$

$F\times V=P.av$

Where p 9is the pressure and a is the area of cross - section of vein.

$\therefore$ Power = P $\times$ Volume of blood flowing per second

In case of vibration of a string, both even and odd harmonics are obtained. That is, frequencies are n, 2n, 3n, 4n etc. The difference between the two frequencies gives rise to the fundamental frequency. In the present case,

n = 490 - 420 = 70 Hz

and n = $\frac{1}{2L}\sqrt{\frac{T}{m}}$

$\therefore L=\frac{1}{2n}\sqrt{\frac{T}{m}}$

$\therefore L=\frac{1}{2\times 70}\sqrt{\frac{4.5}{5\times 10^{-3}}}=\frac{3}{14}$

Correct

Let V be the volume sphere .

The upward trust acting on the body is given by $d_{10}\times v_{10}=d_{90}\times v_{90}$

Now, $d_{90}\left [ 1+\gamma (90-10)\right]\times 0.65v=d_{90}\times 0.7v$

or , $1+\gamma 80=\frac{70}{65}$

$\Rightarrow \gamma =\frac{5}{80\times 65}=\frac{1}{13\times 80}=9.615\times 10^{-4}/^{\circ}C$

Incorrect

A cubical block of length 1 = 5 cm & mass 187.5 g floats in a liquid. It begins to sink at a temperature of 35°C. Assuming the density of liquid at 0°C to be $P_{0}$ = 1.605 g/c.c, what is the coefficient of volume expansion of the liquid i.e. γ?
- $2\times 10^{-4}/^{\circ}C$
- $2\times 10^{-3}/^{\circ}C$
- $2\times 10^{-5}/^{\circ}C$
- $2\times 10^{-2}/^{\circ}C$
Correct

As the block begins to sink the upward thrust acting on it is equal to its weight, ie

$V\rho _{35}g$ = mg

$\Rightarrow \rho _{35}=\frac{m}{V}=\frac{187.5}{1.25}$ = 1.5g/cc

Now , $\rho _{0}=\rho _{35}(1+\gamma .35)$

$\therefore \gamma =\frac{\rho _{0}-\rho _{35}}{35\cdot\rho _{35}}=\frac{1.605-15}{35\times 1.5}=2\times 10^{-3}/^{\circ}C$

Incorrect

As the block begins to sink the upward thrust acting on it is equal to its weight, ie

$V\rho _{35}g$ = mg

$\Rightarrow \rho _{35}=\frac{m}{V}=\frac{187.5}{1.25}$ = 1.5g/cc

Now , $\rho _{0}=\rho _{35}(1+\gamma .35)$

$\therefore \gamma =\frac{\rho _{0}-\rho _{35}}{35\cdot\rho _{35}}=\frac{1.605-15}{35\times 1.5}=2\times 10^{-3}/^{\circ}C$
