Answer : 3. "400"
Explanation :

Answer: C) 400 Explanation: Given length of iron rod =7 mts and  and diameter of rod = 2 cms  => r = 1/100 mts Therefore,  Volume of one rod = πr2h cu. m =  227×11002×7cu. m = 115000 cu. m Given volume of iron = 0.88 cu. m  Therefore, Number of rods = 0.88×500011 = 400.

Answer : 3. "13"
Explanation :

Answer: C) 13 Explanation: Given,  5sinx + 12cosx ≥ -r  ⇒13513sin x + 1213cos x ≥ -rcosx) ≥ -r  513= cosA => sinA =1213   => 13(sinx cosA + sinA cosx) ≥ -r   => 13(sin(x + A)) ≥ -r   we know that , -1 ≤ sin (angle) ≤ 1   => 13sin (x + A) ≥ -13 ⇒rmin =13

Answer : 2. "8"
Explanation :

Answer: B) 8 Explanation: Two digit numbers: The two digits can be 2 and 9: Two possibilities 29 and 92.Three-digit numbers: The three digits can be 1, 2 and 9 => 3! Or 6 possibilities.We cannot have three digits as (3, 3, 2) as the digits have to be distinct.We cannot have numbers with 4 digits or more without repeating the digits.So, there are totally 8 numbers.

Answer : 1. "8"
Explanation :

Answer: A) 8 Explanation: Let the two consecutive odd integers be (2x + 1) and (2x + 3)Then, (2x + 3)2 - (2x + 1)2 = (2x + 3 + 2x + 1) (2x + 3 - 2x - 1) = (4x + 4)(2)= 8 (x + 1), which is always divisible by 8

Answer : 2. "70 years"
Explanation :

Answer: B) 70 years Explanation: Let Kumar’s present age be "x" years and Sailesh’s present age be "y" years.Then, according to the first condition, x - 10 = 3(y - 10) => x - 3y = - 20 ........(1) Now, Kumar’s age after 10 years = (x + 10) years. Sailesh’s age after 10 years = (y + 10) years. (x + 10) = 2 (y + 10)  => x - 2y = 10 ......(2)   Solving (1) and (2), we get x = 70 and y = 30 Kumar’s present age = 70 years    and  Sailesh’s present age = 30 years.

Q: The ratio of Karthik’s and Kalyan’s ages is 4: 5. If the difference between the present age of Kalyan and the age of Karthik 5 years hence is 3 years, then what is the total of present ages of Karthik and Kalyan? 2487 0

Answer : 4. "72 years"
Explanation :

Answer: D) 72 years Explanation: Let us consider Karthik as K1 and Kalyan as K2. Given k18+k1 and K2 - (K1 + 5) = 3  K2 - K1 = 8 K2 = 8 + K1 Now,  k18+k1= 45 => K1 = 32 years Therefore K2 = 40 years. K1 + K2 = 72 years.
