  • Question 10
    2.4 / -0
    Arun has two watches of the same cost. He sold one of his watches for Rs. 1,680 at a profit and the other one for Rs. 1,512 at a loss. Determine the cost price of each watch, if he had no profit no loss.
    Solution
    Let cost price of each watch be Rs. x.
    For one watch, he had a profit.
    So, SP - CP = Profit
    1680 - x = Profit
    For the other watch, he had a loss.
    CP - SP = Loss
    x - 1512 = Loss
    Now, given that Profit = Loss

    Solution
    Platelets are associated with blood. These are tiny blood cells that help the body form clots to stop bleeding. If one of the blood vessels gets damaged, it sends out signals that are picked up by platelets. The platelets then rush to the site of damage and form a plug, or clot, to repair the damage. A normal platelet count ranges from 150,000 to 450,000 platelets per microliter of blood.

  • Question 59
    2.4 / -0
    The scientific name of Alum used for water purification is:
    Solution
    Alum usually consists of aluminium sulphate, water of hydration, and the sulfate of another element. A whole series of hydrated double salts results from the hydration of the sulphate of a singly charged cation (e.g. K+) and the sulphate of any one of a number of triply charged cations.
    Alum acts as a coagulant while purifying water. A coagulant binds extremely fine and small particles suspended in raw impure water into larger particles that can be removed by filtration and settling.

    Solution
    Car batteries are typically made of six galvanic cells in a series circuit. Each cell of a lead storage battery consists of alternate plates of lead (cathode) and lead coated with lead dioxide (anode) immersed in an electrolyte of sulphuric acid solution.
    Lead and lead dioxide, the active materials on the battery's plates, react with sulphuric acid in the electrolyte to form lead sulfate. The lead sulfate first forms in a finely divided,amorphous state, and easily reverts to lead, lead dioxide and sulphuric acid when the battery recharges.

    Directions: Read the following passage carefully and answer the question.

    I had occasion to work with her closely during the Women's International Year in 1975 when she was chairing a Steering Committee and made me the member in charge of publicity. Representatives from different political parties and women's organisations were on the committee, and though the leftists claimed a sort of proprietary right over her, Aruna encouraged and treated all members alike. It was not her political affiliations or her involvement in a particular cause, which won her respect and recognition, but her utter honesty in public life, her integrity and her compassion for the oppressed which made her an adorable person. She had the courage to differ with and defy the mightiest in the land; yet her human spirit prompted her to work in the worst of slums to offer succour to the poor and the exploited.

    In later years – around late eighties and early nineties – Aruna Asaf Ali's health began to deteriorate. Though her mind remained alert, she could not actively take up her pet causes – action for women's advancement, planning for economic justice, role of media, reaffirmation of values in public affairs etc. Slowly, her movements were restricted and Aruna, who had drawn sustenance from common people, from her involvement in public life, became a lonely person.
