Answer : 2. "165"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 165 Explanation: The given series follow the rule that : Multiplying consecutive prime numbers2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19....2x3 = 63x5 = 155x7 = 357x11 = 7711x13 = 14313x17 = 221So, the wrong term is 165.
Q: A secret can be told to only 3 persons in 3 minutes. Each person in turn tells 3 other persons in the next 3 minutes and the processes continues accordingly. In 30 minutes how many persons can be told this secret in this way ? 2464 05b5cc741e4d2b4197774f99a

Answer : 1. "88572"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 88572 Explanation: Given a secret is told to 3 persons in 3 minutes.And if the process continues with each person saying 3 other persons,In 30 minutes => the rocess for 10 times because each person time is 3 minutes.Required number of persons = 3 + 32 + 33 + .... + 39 + 310 Now it forms a geometric progression, Sum to n terms is S = arn - 1r - 1 Here a = 3, r = 3 => 59048 x 3 /2 = 88572.

Answer : 1. "be traveling at a speed that is faster than perceived"
Explanation :
Answer: A) be traveling at a speed that is faster than perceived Explanation: Velocitation is a phenomenon caused by driving for long periods at high speeds. A driver may experience velocitation when coming off of the highway; the change in speed makes him or her think that the car is going much slower than it actually is. Velocitation is the tendency to be traveling at a speed that is faster than perceived.
Q: 5% of a number is 25% more than another number. The difference between the numbers is 96. Then find the value of the numbers? 2464 05b5cc6bbe4d2b4197774d80c

Answer : 4. "100 & 4"
Explanation :
Answer: D) 100 & 4 Explanation: Let the first number be x and the second number be y. Given 5% of x = (25% of y) + y => 5x/100 = 5y/4 => x = 25y ......(1) and also given that, x - y = 96 => x = 96 + y .....(2) From (1)&(2) 25y = 96 + y => 24y = 96 => y = 4 From (1) x = 96 + 4 = 100 Hence, the numbers are 100 & 4.
Q: A box contains 5 green, 4 yellow and 5 white pearls. Four pearls are drawn at random. What is the probability that they are not of the same colour ? 2464 05b5cc774e4d2b4197775001b

Answer : 4. "90/91"
Explanation :
Answer: D) Option D Explanation: Let S be the sample space. Then,n(s) = number of ways of drawing 4 pearls out of 14 = C414 ways = 14×13×12×114×3×2×1= 1001 Let E be the event of drawing 4 pearls of the same colour.Then, E = event of drawing (4 pearls out of 5) or (4 pearls out of 4) or (4 pearls out of 5) ⇒C15+ C44+ C15 = 5+1+5 =11 P(E) = n(E)n(S)=111001=191 Required probability = 1-191=9091

Answer : 1. "1/27"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 1/27 Explanation: Clearly, the numerators of the fractions in the given sequence follow the series of 2, 3, 5, 7,... and the denominator follows 3, 9, 27, 81, 243, ...Then, the next term in the given sequence is 935 = 9243 = 127 .

Answer : 1. "210 kN/mm2"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 210 kN/mm2 Explanation: It is useful to have a property of a material that is independent of the size of the sample and can be use to compare its elastic properties with another - this is called the Modulus of Elasticity for the material. The modulus of elasticity is defined as: Modulus of elasticity = Stress / Strain There are three types of moduli. They are : (a) the Young Modulus - tensile and compression longitudinal stress (b) the shear modulus - a shearing stress (c) the bulk modulus - volume changes of the specimen.

Answer : 3. "lose electrons"
Explanation :
Answer: C) lose electrons Explanation: Ionic bonding is the complete transfer of valence electron(s) between atoms. It is a type of chemical bond that generates two oppositely charged ions. In ionic bonds, the metal loses electrons to become a positively charged cation, whereas the nonmetal accepts those electrons to become a negatively charged anion. Hence, when Ionic bonds are formed metallic atoms tend to lose electrons and become positive ions
