Question 224

MP Forest Guard 2026• Test

Two pipes can fill a tank in 20 hours and 90 hours, respectively. The time (in hours) required to fill the tank when both pipes are opened simultaneously is:

  1. AOption (a)

    17713\frac{177}{13}

  2. BOption (b)

    1799\frac{179}{9}

  3. COption (c)

    18011\frac{180}{11}

  4. DOption (d)

    1838\frac{183}{8}

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (c)C.

18011\frac{180}{11}

Why this answer is correct

Given:

Pipe A fills in 20 hours

Pipe B fills in 90 hours

Calculation:

Assume total work = LCM of 20 and 90 = 180 units

Work per hour by A = 180 / 20 = 9 units

Work per hour by B = 180 / 90 = 2 units

Combined work per hour = 9 + 2 = 11 units

⇒ Time = 180 / 11 hours 

∴ Required time = 180 / 11 hours

Question 225

MP Forest Guard 2026• Test

Superconductors are derived from the compounds of:

  1. AOption (a)

    s-block elements

  2. BOption (b)

    Lanthanides

  3. COption (c)

    Actinides

  4. DOption (d)

    Transition elements

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (d)D.

Transition elements

Why this answer is correct

The correct answer is Transition elements.

Key PointsSuperconductors:

  • Superconductivity is a set of physical properties:
  • electrical resistance vanishes
  • magnetic flux fields are expelled from the material.
  • Unlike an ordinary metallic conductor, whose resistance decreases gradually as its temperature is lowered even down to near absolute zero
  • A superconductor has a characteristic critical temperature below which the resistance drops abruptly to zero.
  • An electric current through a loop of superconducting wire can persist indefinitely with no power source.
  • Superconductor material classes include chemical elements (e.g. mercury or lead), alloys (such as niobium-titanium, germanium–niobium, and niobium nitride), ceramics (YBCO and magnesium diboride), etc.
  • Superconductors are mostly compounds of transition metal. Hence option 4 is correct.

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (a)A.

a

Why this answer is correct

The correct answer is option 1) i.e. (a).

Key Points

  • In the given sentence, the subject 'police' is a collective noun.
  • The verb 'has' is following the noun 'police'.
  • Police is a noun that describes a collection of police officers.
  • This means it has no singular form and always uses a plural verb.
  • Thus the verb should be in plural form.
  • Hence, the plural form of the verb 'has' i.e. 'have' should be used.
  • The correct sentence: "The police have arrested the thief who broke into my house last night."

Additional Information 

  • A collective noun is a collection of things taken as a whole.
  • Most collective nouns in everyday speech are not specific to one kind of thing, such as the word "group", which can be applied to people ("a group of people") or dogs ("a group of dogs") or other things.
  • If the collective noun refers to the group as a unit, then it takes a singular verb.
  • For example, "Our family enjoys the get-together."
  • If the collective noun refers to the individuals in the group or the parts that make up the group, then the verb should be plural.
  • For example, "Families enjoy the get-together."

Question 229

MP Forest Guard 2026• Test

If at same rate of interest, in 2 years, the simple interest is ₹60 and compound interest is ₹66, then what is the principal (in ₹)?

  1. AOption (a)

    143

  2. BOption (b)

    145

  3. COption (c)

    150

  4. DOption (d)

    154

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (c)C.

150

Why this answer is correct

Given:

Simple Interest (SI) = ₹60

Compound Interest (CI) = ₹66

Time (T) = 2 years

Rate of Interest (R) = Same for both SI and CI

Formula used:

Simple Interest (SI) = (P × R × T) ÷ 100

Compound Interest (CI) for 2 years = P × [(1 + R ÷ 100)2 - 1]

Calculation:

From SI formula:

60 = (P × R × 2) ÷ 100

⇒ P × R = 3000

From CI formula:

66 = P × [(1 + R ÷ 100)2 - 1]

Substitute R = 3000 ÷ P from the first equation:

66 = P × [(1 + (3000 ÷ P ÷ 100))2 - 1]

⇒ 66 = P × [(1 + (30 ÷ P))2 - 1]

Expanding the equation:

⇒ 66 = P × [(1 + 60 ÷ P + 900 ÷ P2) - 1]

⇒ 66 = P × [(60 ÷ P + 900 ÷ P2)]

⇒ 66 = 60 + (900 ÷ P)

⇒ 900 ÷ P = 66 - 60

⇒ 900 ÷ P = 6

⇒ P = 900 ÷ 6

⇒ P = ₹150

∴ The principal is ₹150.
