Questions and Answers
  • 1. 

    A certain amount earned a simple interest at the same rate of interest for 6 years and 9 years. What will be the ratio of interest earned?

    • A.

      03:02

    • B.

      02:03

    • C.

      None of these

    • D.

      Data inadequate

    Correct Answer
    B. 02:03
    Explanation
    The ratio of interest earned for 6 years and 9 years would be 2:3. This can be explained by the fact that the longer the duration of the investment, the higher the interest earned. Since the rate of interest is the same for both periods, the ratio of interest earned will be in proportion to the duration of the investment. Therefore, the ratio of interest earned for 6 years to 9 years would be 2:3.

      Sick Leave

    Correct Answer
    B. Paid Leave
    Explanation
    Paid leave refers to a type of leave where an employee is entitled to receive their regular salary or wages while taking time off from work. This can include various types of paid time off such as vacation leave, personal leave, or holiday leave. Paid leave is typically granted to employees as a benefit or entitlement and serves as a way for them to take time away from work for personal reasons without experiencing a loss of income. It is different from unpaid leave, where an employee may take time off but does not receive their regular pay during that period. Maternity leave and sick leave are examples of paid leave.

Each of these theorists has proposed their own theories on what motivates individuals in the workplace or in life. By selecting "All the above" as the answer, it acknowledges that all four theorists have contributed to the understanding of motivation.

     Calculate the simple interest on Rs. 10 for 4 months at the rate of 0.3 rupees per month

    • A.

      Rs. 3.60

    • B.

      Rs. 2.40

    • C.

      Rs. 1.60

    • D.

      Rs. 1.20

    Correct Answer
    D. Rs. 1.20
    Explanation
    The simple interest can be calculated using the formula: Simple Interest = (Principal × Rate × Time) / 100. In this case, the principal is Rs. 10, the rate is 0.3 rupees per month, and the time is 4 months. Plugging these values into the formula, we get (10 × 0.3 × 4) / 100 = Rs. 1.20. Therefore, the correct answer is Rs. 1.20.

    A rectangular room can be partitioned into two equal square rooms by a 7 m long partition. Find the area of the rectangular room.

    • A.

      49 sq. m

    • B.

      98 sq. m

    • C.

      147 sq. m

    • D.

      None of these

    Correct Answer
    B. 98 sq. m
    Explanation
    If a rectangular room can be partitioned into two equal square rooms by a 7 m long partition, it means that the length of the rectangular room is twice the length of the square rooms. Let's assume the length of the square rooms is x. Therefore, the length of the rectangular room is 2x. The width of the rectangular room remains the same. The area of a rectangle is given by length multiplied by width. So, the area of the rectangular room is 2x multiplied by the width. Since we don't have the width value, we cannot calculate the exact area. Hence, the correct answer is "None of these".

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

     A man was walking at the speed of 4 kmph. He takes 3 minutes to cross a square field diagonally. Find the area of the field

    • A.

      20000 sq. m

    • B.

      18000 sq. m

    • C.

      19000 sq. m

    • D.

      21000 sq. m

    Correct Answer
    A. 20000 sq. m
    Explanation
    The man takes 3 minutes to cross the square field diagonally. Since the speed is given in km/h, we need to convert the time from minutes to hours. 3 minutes is equal to 3/60 = 1/20 hours.
    The distance covered by the man is the diagonal of the square field. We can use the formula d = rt, where d is the distance, r is the rate (speed), and t is the time.
    Substituting the values, we have d = 4 * (1/20) = 1/5 km.
    To find the area of the square field, we need to square the diagonal. (1/5)^2 = 1/25 km^2.
    Since the area is given in square meters, we need to convert km^2 to m^2. 1 km^2 = 1000000 m^2.
    Therefore, the area of the field is (1/25) * 1000000 = 40000 sq. m.
    None of the given options match the calculated area, so the correct answer is not available.
