According to dietitian Benjamin White, despite their acidic nature citrus fruits are actual an alkalizing agent on the body. “Citrus fruits... View Article

An object is placed at a distance of 10cm from a diverging mirror of focal length 15 cm . Find the position and of the image formed also calculate the magnification of the image .

Answer: The given parameters u = -10 cm f = 15 cm We know the formula 1/f = 1/v + 1/u So, 1/v = 1/f - 1/u 1/v = 1/15 - (-1/10) 1/v =... View Article

Simple interest on a certain sum of mine at 9% is rupees 450 in 2 years. Find the compound interest on the same sum at the same rate for 1 year if the interest is reckoned half-yearly

Simple interest for 1 year = 450/2 =225 let x be the principal 9x/100=225 x=2500 2500*(9/100)= 225 capital for the second half year =2725... View Article

The distance between Delhi and Agra is 200km a train travels the first 100km at speed of 50km/h how fast must the train travel next 100km so that the average speed is 70km/h for the whole journey

Time taken to travel first half distance = 100/ 50 = 2 hrs Time is taken to travel second half distance = 100/v Average speed = 200/ (2 + 100/v)... View Article

A piece of wire of resistance R is cut into five equal parts. These parts are then connected in parallel. If the equivalent resistance of this combination is R′, then the ratio R/R′ is: (a) 1/25 (b) 1/5 (c) 5 (d) 25

Resistance is proportional to the length of wire and inversely proportional to the area of cross-section. IF length is 1/5th, then Resistance is... View Article
