Answer: A) 21 min Explanation: Let the pipe B be closed after 'K' minutes. 30/16 - K/24 = 1 => K/24 = 30/16 - 1 = 14/16 => K = 14/16 x 24 = 21 min.

Answer: D) 10 : 23 : 20 PM Explanation: The watch gains 5 seconds in 3 minutes = 100 seconds in 1 hour. From 8 AM to 10 PM on the same day, time passed is 14 hours. In 14 hours, the watch would have gained 1400 seconds or 23 minutes 20 seconds. So, when the correct time is 10 PM, the watch would show 10 : 23 : 20 PM

Answer: C) 15 days Explanation: We know that Time is inversely proportional to Efficiency Here given time ratio of P & P+Q as P/P+Q = 150/100 = 3:2 Efficiency ratio of P & Q as P:Q = 2:1 ....(1) Given Efficiency ratio of Q & R as Q:R = 3:1 ....(2) From (1) & (2), we get P:Q:R = 6:3:1 P alone can finish the work in 22.5(3+1)/6 = 15 days.

Answer: C) Helioseismology Explanation: Helioseismology is the study of the solar interior using observations of waves on the Sun's surface. It has done much to improve our understanding of the interior of the Sun, testing the physical inputs used to model stellar interiors and providing a detailed map of the Sun's structure and internal rotation.

1. Answer : 2 Explanation : Productivity = Total production/area of Agr.land  Productivity of UP = [ (35000+30000+25000) / (30/100) ] = 300000   Productivity of MP = [ (30000+37500+27500) / (25/100) ] = 380000   Productivity of Bihar = [ (22500+27500+25000) / (20/100) ] = 375000  Productivity of Odisha = [ (22500+15000+10000) / (5/100) ]= 950000   Productivity of Haryana = [ (30000+25000+35000) / (8/100) ] = 1125000   Productivity of Punjab = [ (40000+35000+30000) / (12/100) ] = 875000  The Productivity of Haryana is the maximum.       2. Answer : 5   Explanation : Production of Punjab is maximum = 105000 tonnes      3. Answer : 3  Explanation : Production of Wheat in Punjab = 40000 tones Production of Maize in Odisha = 10000 tones Required % = (40000 - 10000)/100 = 300%      4. Answer : 4  Explanation : The ratio of prodution of Rice in Bihar to the production of Wheat in Haryana = 25000 tonnes : 25000 tonnes = 1 : 1       5. Answer : 1   Explanation : Income of MP from export of 40% of Rice at the rate of Rs.30 per kg = Rs.39crore Income of UP from export of 30% of Rice at the rate of Rs.32 per kg = Rs.28.8 crore  Required ratio = 39 : 28.8 = 390 : 288 = 65 : 48

Answer: B) 23 1/3% Explanation: y=100 x=130 130---------30100---------? => 23 1/3%

Answer: B) 1243 Explanation: Given number sequence is 28, 16, 28, 76, 274 Here the sequence follows a pattern that 28 28 x 0.5 + 2 = 14 + 2 = 16 16 x 1.5 + 4 = 24 + 4 = 28 28 x 2.5 + 6 = 70 + 6 = 76 76 x 3.5 + 8 = 266 + 8 = 274 274 x 4.5 + 10 = 1233 + 10 = 1243   Hence, the next number in the given number sequence is 1243.

Answer: B) Strontium Explanation: We know that, Elements in the same group of the periodic table have similar characteristics. Here Magnesium and Strontium shared some similar properties because they both belong to the same group. Sr is the chemical symbol for strontium which is a group two element; it has atomic number of 38.
