1. A box contains 90 nuts each of 100 gm and 100 bolts each of 150 gm. If the entire box weighs 35.5 kg., then the weight of the empty box is :

Explanation

The weight of the nuts is 90 x 100 gm = 9000 gm = 9 kg. The weight of the bolts is 100 x 150 gm = 15000 gm = 15 kg. The total weight of the nuts and bolts is 9 kg + 15 kg = 24 kg. Therefore, the weight of the empty box is the total weight of the box (35.5 kg) minus the weight of the nuts and bolts (24 kg), which is 35.5 kg - 24 kg = 11.5 kg.

3. If 3/p = 6 and 3/q = 15 then p - q = ?

Explanation

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.

5. ANGLE : DEGREE

Explanation

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".

6. 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 :

Explanation

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.
