41. There is a group of 5 people among which there is one couple. In how many ways can these 5 people be seated in a row having 5 chairs if the couple is to be seated next to each other?

Correct Answer: (b) 48
Solution:Assume the couple as one then total arrangement = (3 + 1)! = 4!

Again, couple can sit in 2! ways .....

Hence, total arrangement = 4!2! = 48

42. Two friends 10 km apart start running towards each other at speeds of 10 km/hr and 14 km/hr respectively. After how much time will they meet each other?

Correct Answer: (b) 25 minutes
Solution:Relative speed when two are moving in opposite direction

= S₁ + S₂ = 10 + 14 = 24km / h × r

Hence, time required

= 10/24hr = 10/24 × 60 min uses = 25 min.

43. A coin is tossed 3 times. The probability of getting exactly 2 heads is

Correct Answer: (b) 3/8
Solution:

44. A test consists of 25 MCQs. Each correct answer gives +4 marks and incorrect answer gives -1 mark. If a candidate scores 74 marks, then how many questions were left Unattempted?

Correct Answer: (a) 4
Solution:To get 74 marks he must have answered more than 18 questions correctly.

Now, 74 = 4 × 19 - 1 × 2

Hence, correct questions = 19,

wrong questions = 2

Unattempted question = 25 - (19 + 2) = 4

45. A person has a total of 100 coins consisting of ₹ 2 and ₹ 5 coins. If the total value of the coins is ₹ 320, then the number of ₹ 2 coins is

Correct Answer: (c) 60
Solution:x + y = 100 ....... (i)

2x + 5y = 320 ....... (ii)

From 5 × (i) - (ii) ⇒ 5x - 2x = 500 - 320

∴ x = 180/3 = 60

Hence, number of 2 coins = 60.

1. Aluminium powder is used as a solid fuel for rocket engines.

2. Compared to liquid fuel propelled rocket engines, the thrust per amount of fuel burned is higher in solid fuel propelled rocket engines.

Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

Correct Answer: (a) 1 only
Solution:The first rocket fuel was solid rocket which was used in the earliest pyrotechnics created by Chinese. The fuel for SLS booster is Aluminum Powder as it reacts quickly. The aluminum is so reactive that it only occurs naturally in the mineral combustion state and not in its pure state. It is important as it can be mixed easily with other metals.
