Which of the options depicts the correct mirror image of the following figure.
Explanation:
The image of an object as seen in a mirror is its mirror reflection or mirror image. In such an image, the right side of the object appears
on the left side and vice versa. A mirror-image is therefore said to be laterally inverted and the phenomenon is called the lateral
inversion.
Some letters don’t change upon reflection. In other words, they are the same as that of their Mirror Images. The letters having identical
mirror images are A, H, I, M, O, T, U, V, W, X, Y.
From this all option eliminated because W don't have identical mirror image except c option

15% of an alloy was silver. If in a quantity of alloy there was 51 g of silver, what was the quantity of the other elements in the alloy?
A 204 g
B 340 g
C 300 g
D 289 g
Answer: D
Explanation:
Given that
15%x = 51
15×(x)
100 = 51
5100
(x) = 15
x = 340
other element quantity in alloy was 85% so calculate 85% of 340
85
85%of340 = 340 × 100
= 3.4 × 85
= 289

x = 24
Question 66
One of the two inlet pipes works twiceas efficiently as the other. The two, working
alongside a drain pipe that can empty a cistern all by itself in 8 hours, can fill the empty cistern in 8 hours. How many hours will the
less efficient inlet pipe taketo fill the empty cistern by itself?
A 12
B 6
C 10
D 8
Answer: A
Explanation:
Efficiency is inversely proportional to time.
The one who is more efficient will take less time to complete work and the one is less efficient will take more time to complete work.
We are given that One of the two inlet pipes works twice as efficiently as the other.
So, the one of the two inlet pipes will take double time to complete its work.
Now we are given that empty cistern is less efficient .So, empty inlet will take double the time to complete work.
Now we are given that The two, working alongside a drain pipe that can empty a cistern all by itself in 8 hours, can fill the empty cistern
in 8 hours.
So, twice of 8 hours = 16 hours will the less efficient inlet pipe take to fill the empty cistern by itself.
Thus 16 hours will the less efficient inlet pipe take to fill the empty cistern by itself

Question 75
Two pipes fill a tank when working individually in 25 and 40 hours, respectively while a third pipe can drain the filled tank in 16
hours. If all the three pipes are turned on at the same time when the tank is empty, how long will it take to fill the tank completely?
A 2 days 1 hour
B 16 days 16 hours
C 1 day 7 hours
D 15 days 18 hours
Answer: B
Explanation:
Let Pipes are A, B, C
Pipes A and B can fill the tank in 25 and 40 hours respectively. Therefore,
1
part filled by pipe A in 1 hour = 25
1
part filled by pipe B in 1 hour = 40
As 1 day is = 24 hours.
400
So, we will get 24 = 16days16hours
