Malaria affects
- Liver
- Spleem

Correct Answer

A. Liver

Explanation

Malaria affects the liver. When a person is infected with malaria, the parasites initially travel to the liver where they multiply and mature. This stage of the infection is known as the liver stage. The parasites then leave the liver and enter the bloodstream, where they infect and destroy red blood cells, causing the characteristic symptoms of malaria such as fever, chills, and fatigue. Therefore, the liver is a crucial organ in the life cycle of the malaria parasite and is directly affected by the disease.

Cost of 2 articles are in ratio 3:2 . On the first there is 40% loss and on the second 30 % gain .What is overall percentage of loss?
- 12%
- 30 %
- 40 %
- 10 %
Correct Answer

A. 12%

Explanation

The overall percentage of loss can be calculated by finding the difference between the cost price and the selling price of both articles and then dividing it by the total cost price. In this case, let's assume the cost price of the first article is 3x and the cost price of the second article is 2x. The selling price of the first article would be 0.6 * 3x = 1.8x, and the selling price of the second article would be 1.3 * 2x = 2.6x. The total cost price would be 3x + 2x = 5x. The overall percentage of loss would be (5x - (1.8x + 2.6x)) / (5x) * 100 = 12%.

If 12 Boys can earn Rs 2400 in 5 days then how many boys can Rs 4200 in 21 days ?
- 105 Boys
- 100 Boys
- 5 boys
- 12 Boys
Correct Answer

A. 5 boys

Explanation

If 12 boys can earn Rs 2400 in 5 days, it means that each boy can earn Rs 200 in 5 days. Therefore, in 21 days, each boy would earn Rs 200 * 21/5 = Rs 840. To find out how many boys can earn Rs 4200 in 21 days, we divide Rs 4200 by Rs 840, which gives us 5. Therefore, the answer is 5 boys.

The radius of a circular wheel is 1.75 m. The number if revolutions that it will make in covering 11 km is
- 1000
- 10000
- 100
- 10
Correct Answer

A. 1000

Explanation

The circumference of a circular wheel is given by the formula C = 2πr, where r is the radius of the wheel. In this case, the radius is 1.75 m. To find the number of revolutions the wheel will make in covering 11 km, we need to convert the distance to meters and divide it by the circumference of the wheel. 11 km is equal to 11,000 m. So, the number of revolutions is 11,000 / (2π * 1.75) ≈ 1000. Therefore, the correct answer is 1000.

In 5 years Rs 2000 becomes 5000. in how many years at the same ratio Rs 700 will become Rs 910
- 1
- 1/20
- 1/10
- 10
Correct Answer

A. 1

Explanation

The given question states that in 5 years, Rs 2000 becomes Rs 5000. This means that the amount increased by Rs 3000 in 5 years. To find out how many years it will take for Rs 700 to become Rs 910 at the same ratio, we need to find the increase in amount. Rs 910 - Rs 700 = Rs 210. Since the ratio is the same, the increase in amount is also the same. Therefore, it will take 1 year for Rs 700 to become Rs 910.
