The cost of paint is Rs.36.50 per kg. If one kg of paint covers 16 square feet, how much will it cost to paint outside of a cube having each side of 8 feet?

(A) Rs.850
(B) Rs.860
(C) Rs.876
(D) Rs.886

Check Answer

(C) Rs.876

Explanation

Solution: Let’s solve this problem in a relaxed way.

Step 1: Find the surface area of the cube:

The cube has 6 faces, and all faces are square with a length of 8 ft.

Surface area = 6 x (length of the sides)^2 = 6 ×(8)^2 = 6 × 64 = 384 sq ft.

Step 2: Find the paint needed:

1 kg of paint is needed for an area of 16 sq ft.

Therefore, paint needed = (Total area) / (Area per kg of paint) = 384/16 = 24 kg.

Step 3: Find the cost:

Cost = Paint needed x Cost per kg of paint = 24 × 36.50 = (36.50 × 20) + (36.50 × 4) (using the distributive law of multiplication over addition) = 730 + 146 = 876.

Answer: Rs. 876 (Option C).

One kilometer is equal to how many miles?

(A) 0.85
(B) 0.50
(C) 0.62
(D) 1.60

Check Answer

(C) 0.62

Explanation

Solution: In everyday language, the relationship between kilometers and miles is described by the following conversion factor:

The relationship between kilometers and miles is defined by the standard conversion factor where 1 mile is approximately equal to 1.60934 kilometers.

1 kilometer ≃ 0.6214 miles

Rounded to two decimal places, this becomes:

1 km ≃ 0.62 miles

Correct answer: (C) 0.62

Which enables us to send the same letter to different persons?

(A) Macros
(B) Template
(C) Mail merge
(D) None of these

Check Answer

(C) Mail merge

Explanation

Mail Merge is a tool, typically part of word processors such as Microsoft Word, which allows you to create multiple documents, like letters, which have been designed for each person. Mail Merge is like this because it merges a main document, which is essentially shared, with another data source, which is typically something like a spreadsheet containing names and addresses, to produce multiple copies of a letter for multiple people.

Macros are basically recorded actions that help automate tasks in a program, reducing the time spent doing repetitive tasks. While macros save time, they were not developed to retrieve information from a list to personalize communications for many individuals.

Templates, however, are pre-designed files that provide the framework for the creation of a new document, helping with the layout and design of the document.

In the field of computers what is BASIC (Beginners All-Purpose Symbolic Instruction Code)?

(A) A Programming Language
(B) A Software
(C) Software Coding
(D) A basic course in computers

Check Answer

(A) A Programming Language

Explanation

BASIC, or Beginner’s All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code, is a high-level programming language that was designed in 1964 by John G. Kemeny and Thomas E. Kurtz at Dartmouth College. Its purpose was to enable students outside the sciences to easily get into programming. This programming language is recognized for its simple syntax, which uses simple commands that are reminiscent of English words.

Sources of air pollution include:

(A) Vehicular emissions
(B) Oil refineries and factories
(C) Volcanic eruptions
(D) All of these

Check Answer

(D) All of these

Explanation

There are many sources of air pollution, both from human activities and natural causes, which spew forth harmful substances into the air. On the move, automobiles, lorries, and buses emit significant amounts of pollutants, including nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, and a haze of particles. At stationary sites, oil refineries and factories discharge significant amounts of sulfur dioxide, VOCs, and other harmful industrial chemicals. And then there are the natural causes of air pollution, including volcanic eruptions that spew forth ash, smoke, and sulfur dioxide into the air in huge quantities.

If one of the angles of a triangle is 90 degrees. What would be the value of other two angles?

(A) 60 and 30 degrees
(B) 50 and 40 degrees
(C) 70 and 20 degrees
(D) 45 and 45 degrees

Check Answer

(D) 45 and 45 degrees

Explanation

Solution: In every triangle, the sum of the interior angles is always 180 degrees.

If one of the angles is 90 degrees, then the other two must sum up to 180 – 90 = 90 degrees.

So, the other two must sum up to 90 degrees.

From the choices provided:

(A) 60°, 30° → 60 + 30 = 90°

(B) 50°, 40° → 50 + 40 = 90°

(D) 45°, 45° → 45 + 45 = 90°

All the above choices sum up to 90°. Since the other two angles of the right triangle can be any two values that sum up to 90°, rather than one specific pair of values, we can conclude that:

If the problem is for the special or common type of triangle, the most commonly known one is the 45°, 45°, 90° triangle, which is an isosceles right triangle.

Answer: (D) 45, 45 degrees

(A) Close
(B) Closer
(C) Away
(D) Apart

Check Answer

(B) Closer

Explanation

The full phrase is actually: “Keep your friends close and your enemies closer”. This is a popular phrase that basically says the following: “Yes, it is a good idea to stay close to the people you trust; however, it is also important to watch your enemies closely.” This way, you will be able to see what they are up to, why they are up to it, and when to expect the trouble that might come their way.
