Answer : 3. "66.6 mts"
Explanation :
Answer: C) 66.6 mts Explanation: From above diagramAC represents the hill and DE represents the tower Given that AC = 100 m angleXAD = angleADB = 30° (∵ AX || BD ) angleXAE = angleAEC = 60° (∵ AX || CE) Let DE = h Then, BC = DE = h, AB = (100-h) (∵ AC=100 and BC = h), BD = CE tan 60°=AC/CE => √3 = 100/CE =>CE = 100/√3 ----- (1) tan 30° = AB/BD => 1/√3 = 100−h/BD => BD = 100−h(√3)∵ BD = CE and Substitute the value of CE from equation 1 100/√3 = 100−h(√3) => h = 66.66 mts The height of the tower = 66.66 mts.

Answer : 1. "100%"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 100% Explanation: Let the C.P be Rs.100 and S.P be Rs.x, Then The profit is (x-100)Now the S.P is doubled, then the new S.P is 2xNew profit is (2x-100)Now as per the given condition; => 3(x-100) = 2x-100By solving, we get x = 200Then the Profit percent = (200-100)/100 = 100Hence the profit percentage is 100%

Answer : 1. "14 days"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 14 days Explanation: Let A worked for x days. x/21 + 4/28 = 1 => x = 18 A worked for 18 days. So, A can complete the remaining work in 18 - 4 = 14 days.

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 : 4. "203"
Explanation :
Answer: D) 203 Explanation: The given number series is 125, 138, 164, ?, 255 125 125 + 13x1 = 138 138 + 13x2 = 164 164 + 13x3 = 203 203 + 13x4 = 255 Hence, the missing number in the series is 203.

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.

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 .
