    Which of the following characterizes inductance?

    • A. Tends to oppose DC

    • B. Tends to oppose change in current

    • C. Tends to oppose change in voltage

    • D. Opposes all frequencies equally

    Correct Answer
    A. B. Tends to oppose change in current
    Explanation
    Inductance is a property of an electrical circuit that tends to oppose any change in current. When the current in a circuit is increasing, an inductor generates a back EMF (electromotive force) that opposes the increase in current. Similarly, when the current is decreasing, the inductor generates a forward EMF that opposes the decrease in current. This opposition to changes in current is a characteristic of inductance.

    At 6'o clock a clock rings 6 times. The time between first and last rings was 30sec. How much time does it take at 12'o clock?

    • 66 sec

    • 55 Sec

    • 1 Hr

    • 2 hrs

    • 33 sec

    Correct Answer
    A. 66 sec
    Explanation
    The clock rings 6 times in 30 seconds, so the time between each ring is 30/6 = 5 seconds. At 12 o'clock, the clock will ring 12 times, so the total time it takes is 5 * 12 = 60 seconds. However, this does not include the time between the first and last ring, which was 30 seconds. Therefore, the total time it takes at 12 o'clock is 60 + 30 = 90 seconds. However, none of the given options match this answer, so the correct answer is not available.

    The difference between the length and breadth of a rectangle is 23 m. If its perimeter is 206 m, then its area is:

    • 1520 m2

    • 2420 m2

    • 2480 m2

    • 2520 m2

    Correct Answer
    A. 2520 m2
    Explanation
    We have: (l - b) = 23 and 2(l + b) = 206 or (l + b) = 103.

    Solving the two equations, we get: l = 63 and b = 40.

    Area = (l x b) = (63 x 40) m2 = 2520 m2.

    • B. 9 V

    • C. 12 V

    • D. 24 V

    Correct Answer
    A. C. 12 V
    Explanation
    In a DC circuit, power is calculated using the formula P = V^2/R, where P is the power, V is the voltage, and R is the resistance. Rearranging the formula, we have V = sqrt(P*R). Plugging in the given values of P = 36 watts and R = 4 ohms, we can calculate V as sqrt(36*4) = sqrt(144) = 12 V. Therefore, the correct answer is c. 12 V.

     The egg vendor calls on his first customer & sells half his eggs & half an egg.  To the 2nd customer he sells half of what he sells half of what he had left & half an egg. & to the 3rd customer he sells half what he had then left & half an egg. By the way he did not break any eggs. In the end three eggs were remaining .  How many total eggs he was having ?

    • 56

    • 38

    • 34

    • 24

    Correct Answer
    A. 38
    Explanation
    The egg vendor starts with a certain number of eggs. He sells half of his eggs (which is an even number) and half an egg. This means that the number of eggs he had initially must be an odd number.

    To the second customer, he sells half of what he had left and half an egg. Since he had an odd number of eggs left after the first sale, half of that would be an odd number as well.

    To the third customer, he sells half of what he had then left and half an egg. Again, since he had an odd number of eggs left after the second sale, half of that would be an odd number as well.

    In the end, three eggs were remaining. This means that the number of eggs he had initially must be three more than a multiple of four. The only answer choice that satisfies this condition is 38, which is three more than a multiple of four.

    In a tournament there are 20 flag poles equidistant from each other. each runner starts from the first flag. In 24 sec the runner reaches the 12th flag. How much it will take him to complete the 20th flag.

    • (22/11)*20

    • (24/11)*19

    • (24/12)*21

    • (23/11)*20

    • (22/11)*19

    Correct Answer
    A. (24/11)*19
    Explanation
    The runner reaches the 12th flag in 24 seconds. Since the flag poles are equidistant from each other, the runner covers 12 flag poles in 24 seconds. Therefore, the runner takes 2 seconds to cover each flag pole. To calculate the time it will take him to complete the 20th flag, we multiply the time taken for each flag pole by the total number of flag poles. So, (2 seconds/flag pole) * 20 flag poles = 40 seconds. However, none of the answer choices match this calculation, so the correct answer is not available.
