If 3/p = 6 and 3/q = 15 then p - q = ?
-
5/6
-
1/3
-
3/10
-
2/5
Correct Answer
A. 3/10Explanation
If 3/p = 6, then p = 3/6 = 1/2. Similarly, if 3/q = 15, then q = 3/15 = 1/5. Therefore, p - q = (1/2) - (1/5) = (5/10) - (2/10) = 3/10.Rate this question:

A rectangle is 14 cm long and 10 cm wide. If the length is reduced by x cm and its width is increased also by x cm so as to make it a square then its area changes by :
-
4
-
144
-
15
-
68
Correct Answer
A. 4Explanation
If the length of the rectangle is reduced by x cm and the width is increased by x cm to make it a square, then the new length and width of the square would be (14-x) cm and (10+x) cm respectively. The area of a square is calculated by multiplying the length by the width. So, the area of the new square would be (14-x)(10+x) = 140 + 4x - x^2. The change in area can be calculated by subtracting the original area (14*10 = 140) from the new area, which gives 4x - x^2. Therefore, the correct answer is 4.Rate this question:

ANGLE : DEGREE
-
Milk : quart
-
Area : square inch
-
Letter : alphabet
-
Time : minutes
Correct Answer
A. Area : square inchExplanation
The relationship between "area" and "square inch" is that "square inch" is the unit of measurement used to quantify the "area" of a two-dimensional object. Similarly, "degree" is the unit of measurement used to quantify an "angle". The other options do not have this same relationship, as "quart" is a unit of measurement for "milk", "alphabet" is a collection of letters in a language, and "minutes" is a unit of measurement for "time".Rate this question:
