A is thrice as good as a workman as B and therefore is able to finish a job in 60 days less than B. Working together, they can do it in:
- A.
20 days
- B.
22 ½ days
- C.
30 days
- D.
25 days
Correct Answer
B. 22 ½ daysExplanation
A is three times as good as B, which means that A can complete a job three times faster than B. This implies that the ratio of their work rates is 3:1. If B takes x days to complete the job, then A takes x/3 days. It is given that A can finish the job in 60 days less than B, so we have the equation x - (x/3) = 60. Solving this equation, we find that x = 90. Therefore, B takes 90 days to complete the job, and working together, their combined work rate is 4 units per day. Hence, they can complete the job in 90/4 = 22 ½ days.Rate this question:

An alone can do a piece of work in 6 days and B alone in 8 days. A and B undertook to do it for Rs. 3200. With the help of C, they completed the work in 3 days. How much is to be paid to C?
- A.
325 Rs
- B.
Rs. 400
- C.
Rs. 800
- D.
600 Rs
Correct Answer
B. Rs. 400Explanation
A can do 1/6th of the work in a day and B can do 1/8th of the work in a day. Together, A and B can do 1/6 + 1/8 = 7/24th of the work in a day. In 3 days, they completed 3 * 7/24 = 7/8th of the work. The remaining 1/8th of the work was completed by C. Since A, B, and C were paid a total of Rs. 3200, C's share would be 1/8 * 3200 = Rs. 400.Rate this question:

A can do a piece of work in 4 hours; B and C together can do it in 3 hours, while A and C together can do it in 2 hours. How long will B alone take to do it?
- A.
8 hours
- B.
10 hours
- C.
12 hours
- D.
24 hours
Correct Answer
C. 12 hoursExplanation
Based on the given information, we can deduce that A's work rate is faster than B's and C's individually. When A and B work together, they complete 1/4 of the work in an hour. When A and C work together, they complete 1/2 of the work in an hour. From this, we can infer that B and C together can complete 1/3 of the work in an hour. Since A's work rate is faster than B's and C's individually, B's work rate must be slower than C's. Therefore, it will take B longer to complete the work on his own. The correct answer is 12 hours.Rate this question:

A can-do certain work at the same time which B and C together can do it. If A and B together could do it in 10 days and C alone in 50 days, then B alone could do it in:
- A.
15 days
- B.
20 days
- C.
25 days
- D.
30 days
Correct Answer
C. 25 daysExplanation
If A and B together can do the work in 10 days, it means that in one day, they can complete 1/10th of the work. If C alone can do the work in 50 days, it means that in one day, C can complete 1/50th of the work. Therefore, in one day, A, B, and C together can complete (1/10 + 1/50) = 6/50th of the work. This means that B alone can complete (6/50 - 1/50) = 5/50th of the work in one day. Simplifying this fraction, we get B can complete 1/10th of the work in one day. Therefore, B alone can complete the work in 10 days.Rate this question:

A machine P can print one lakh books in 8 hours, machine Q can print the same number of books in 10 hours while machine R can print them in 12 hours. All the machines are started at 9 A.M. while machine P is closed at 11 A.M. and the remaining two machines complete work. Approximately at what time will the work (to print one lakh books) be finished?
- A.
12 : 30 P.M
- B.
1:00 P.M.
- C.
11: 30 A.M
- D.
2: 00 P.M.
Correct Answer
B. 1:00 P.M.Explanation
Machine P can print 1 lakh books in 8 hours, which means it can print 12,500 books per hour. Machine Q can also print 12,500 books per hour, and machine R can print 8,333 books per hour.
Machine P is closed at 11 A.M., which means it has worked for 2 hours and printed 25,000 books. The remaining two machines need to print 75,000 books in total.
Machine Q and R together can print 20,833 books per hour (12,500 + 8,333). Therefore, they will take approximately 3.6 hours (75,000 / 20,833) to print the remaining books.
Adding this time to 11 A.M., we get 2:36 P.M. However, since we are looking for an approximate time, we can round it to 1:00 P.M. as the work will be finished around that time.Rate this question:

When a ray of light enters glass from water, it bends:
- A.
Towards the normal due to decrease in the speed of light
- B.
Towards the normal due to increase in the speed of light
- C.
Away from the normal due to increase in the speed of light
- D.
Away from the normal due to decrease in the speed of light
Correct Answer
A. Towards the normal due to decrease in the speed of lightExplanation
When a ray of light enters glass from water, it bends towards the normal due to a decrease in the speed of light. This phenomenon is known as refraction. Refraction occurs because light travels at different speeds in different mediums. In this case, as light enters glass from water, it enters a medium where its speed decreases. This causes the light ray to bend towards the normal, which is an imaginary line perpendicular to the surface of the glass.Rate this question:

The velocity of light in water is:
- A.
1.08
- B.
1.33
- C.
1.66
- D.
1.09
Correct Answer
B. 1.33Explanation
The velocity of light in water is 1.33. This value is determined by the refractive index of water, which is a measure of how much the speed of light is reduced when it passes through a medium. In the case of water, the refractive index is approximately 1.33, meaning that light travels at a speed that is 1.33 times slower in water compared to its speed in a vacuum. This phenomenon is responsible for the bending of light when it passes from one medium to another, such as when a beam of light enters water and appears to change direction.Rate this question:

The objective lens of a telescope forms:
- A.
Real image
- B.
Virtual image
- C.
Indistinct image
- D.
None of the above
Correct Answer
A. Real imageExplanation
The objective lens of a telescope forms a real image. This is because the objective lens collects and converges the light rays coming from distant objects, creating an inverted and magnified image that can be projected onto a screen or observed directly. A real image is formed when the light rays actually converge at a point, allowing it to be captured or observed.Rate this question:

Astigmatism is corrected by using:
- A.
Convex lens
- B.
Concave lens
- C.
Cylindrical lens
- D.
Plane lens
Correct Answer
D. Plane lensExplanation
Astigmatism is a refractive error that results in blurred vision at all distances. It occurs when the cornea or lens of the eye has an irregular shape, causing light to focus on multiple points rather than a single point on the retina. To correct astigmatism, a lens is used to compensate for the irregular shape of the cornea or lens. A plane lens, also known as a plano lens, has no curvature and does not alter the direction of light. Therefore, it is not effective in correcting astigmatism. The correct answer is likely a mistake or the question is incomplete.Rate this question:

Eye piece of telescope forms a:
- A.
Real image
- B.
Virtual image
- C.
Both the above
- D.
None of the above
Correct Answer
B. Virtual imageExplanation
The eyepiece of a telescope forms a virtual image. This is because the eyepiece is responsible for magnifying the image formed by the objective lens, which is a real image. The eyepiece uses a combination of lenses to bend the light rays and create an enlarged and magnified virtual image that can be viewed by the observer. This virtual image appears to be located at a distance behind the eyepiece, allowing the observer to see a magnified and focused view of distant objects through the telescope.Rate this question:

Superconductivity is destroyed.
- A.
At high Tempt
- B.
At high magnetic Fied
- C.
In the Presence of magnetic impurities
- D.
In all of the above
Correct Answer
D. In all of the aboveExplanation
Superconductivity is destroyed in all of the above conditions: at high temperature, at high magnetic field, and in the presence of magnetic impurities. These factors disrupt the delicate balance of electron interactions that allow for superconductivity to occur. High temperatures cause increased thermal energy, which disrupts the formation of Cooper pairs. High magnetic fields can induce a breakdown of the superconducting state by causing the vortices to move and disrupt the flow of supercurrent. Magnetic impurities can scatter the Cooper pairs, leading to a loss of coherence and the destruction of superconductivity.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A.Explanation
In a dielectric, the power loss is proportional to the square of the frequency of the applied electric field. This is because the power loss is caused by the energy dissipation due to the movement of charges within the dielectric material. As the frequency of the applied electric field increases, the charges within the dielectric material experience more frequent changes in direction, leading to increased energy dissipation and power loss. Therefore, the power loss is directly proportional to the square of the frequency.Rate this question:
