41. Using the code given below identify the type of farming on the basis of given characteristics:

1. The produce is consumed entirely or mainly by the family who work the land or tend the livestock.

2. If a small surplus is produced, it may be sold or bartered.

3. It is generally small scale and labour intensive with little or not technological input.

Code:

Correct Answer: (c) Subsistence farming
Solution:Subsistence Farming:-This type of farming is practised to meet the needs of the farmer's family. Traditionally, low levels of technology and household labour are used to produce on small output. Subsistence farming can be further classified as intensive subsistence and primitive subsistence farming.

42. Car A takes 1 hour more than car B, which travels at a speed of 60 km per hour, to cover some fixed distance. If car A had doubled its speed, it could cover the distance in 1 hour less time than car B travelling at 60km per hour. What is the original speed of car A in km per hour?

Correct Answer: (c) 45
Solution:The speed of Car B = 60 km/h

The speed of Car A = x km/h

Distance covered = D km

According to question

D/x - D/60 = 1 .......(i)

D/60 - D/(2x) = 1 .......(ii)

43. Suppose, A, B and C are three taps fixed to the bottom of a tank with draining capacity 1 : 2 : 3. When all three of the are on, it takes 1 hour to drain out the full tank. If A and C are on but B is off, then how much time, in minutes, will it take to empty out a full tank of water?

Correct Answer: (b) 90
Solution:

44. Assume that the Earth is a spherical ball of radius x km with a smooth surface so that one can travel along any direction. If you have travelled from point P on the Earth's surface along the East direction a distance of πx km, which direction do you have to travel to return to P so that the distance required to travel is minimum?

Correct Answer: (d) Any fixed direction
Solution:

Radius of the earth = x km

Circumference of the earth → 2πx km

If you have travelled from point P on the Earth's surface along the East direction a distance of πx km. That means you have travelled half the distance of the circumference of the Earth.

To return to P, you have to travel in East only.

45. If x and y are two-digit prime numbers such that y is obtained from x by interchanging its digits and xy=36, then what is the value of xy?

Correct Answer: (b) 2701
Solution:Let ones and tens digit of x are a and b.

Prime number (x) = 10b + a

Prime number (y) = 10a + b

According to the question

x - y = 36

10b + a - 10a - b = 36

9b - 9a = 36

b - a = 4

The numbers (difference between their digits is 4) are :-

51, 62, 73, 84, 95

Among them '73' is a prime number.

Prime number (x) = 10 × 7 + 3 = 73

Prime number (y) = 10 × 3 + 7 = 37

xy = 73 x 37 = 2701

46. Sixty-four cubes of sides 2 cm each are combined to from a cube of side 8 cm. If four of the smaller cubes along the diagonal of a surface are removed from the surface of the large cube, which one of the following statements about the surface area of this solid object is true?

Correct Answer: (c) It is more than the surface area of the large cube.
Solution:

Here face area of each smaller cube = 2 × 2 = 4 cm²

When 4 cubes along the diagonal at the top faces are removed, then surface area increases by = 4 × 4 + 4 × 4 = 32 cm².

47. Which of the following statements about Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) are correct?

1. There are total 57 states from Europe, Central Asia and America.
