If each side of a cube is reduced by 50%, the surface area will reduced by.
75%
If each side of a cube is reduced by 50%, it means that the new length of each side will be 50% of the original length.
In other words, the new length will be half of the original length.
Let's assume the original length of each side of the cube is "x"
After reducing each side by 50%, the new length of each side will be 0.5x
The surface area of a cube is given by the formula: 6 × (side length)2
The original surface area of the cube is:
A1 = 6 × x2
The new surface area of the cube after reducing each side by 50% is:
A2 = 6 × (0.5x)2 = 6 × (0.25x2) = 1.5x2
To calculate the reduction in surface area, we can compare the original surface area to the new surface area:
Reduction in surface area = (A1 - A2)/A1 × 100%
Substituting the values:
Reduction in surface area = (6x2 - 1.5x2)/6x2 × 100%
Reduction in surface area = (4.5x2)/6x2 × 100%
Reduction in surface area = 0.75 × 100%
Reduction in surface area = 75%
Therefore, if each side of a cube is reduced by 50%, the surface area will be reduced by 75%.
If * is an operation such that a * b = 3a – 4b, find the value of 3 * 4
– 7
To find the value of 3 * 4 using the given operation, we substitute
a = 3 and b = 4 into the expression 3a – 4b:
3 * 4 = 3(3) – 4(4)
= 9 – 16
= – 7
In a certain language TRIANGLE is written as VTKCPING. How RECTANGLE will be written
TGEVCPING
Logic: Positional value of alphabets are increased by 2.
TRIANGLE is written as VTKCPING
So, RECTANGLE will be written as
Hence, the correct answer is "TGEVCPING".


(a) Logic: "+" is moving to the corners in anti clock wise direction.
Shaded dot is changing in to blank dot alternatively and moving from inside to outside on the diagonal line, which is also moving alternatively.
So, the next image will be
Two numbers are in ratio of 7 : 10 and if the sum of the numbers is 119. Find the difference of the numbers.
21
Let's assume the two numbers in the ratio 7:10 are 7x and 10x, where x is the common ratio.
According to the given information, the sum of the numbers is 119:
7x + 10x = 119
Combining like terms:
17x = 119
To find the value of x, we divide both sides of the equation by 17:
x = 119 / 17
x = 7
Now, we can find the actual values of the numbers:
First number = 7x = 7 * 7 = 49
Second number = 10x = 10 * 7 = 70
The difference between the two numbers is:
70 - 49 = 21
Therefore, the difference of the numbers is 21.
Who is the first (chief of) Defence Staff of the Indian Armed Forces ?
Bipin Rawat
General Bipin Rawat was the first Chief of Defence Staff.

50°
∠CAB = 40°, ∠BDC = x°
In rhombus ABCD, all sides are equal.
Sum of adjacent angles of rhombus are equal to 180°
∠D = 2 × ∠BDC = 2x [Diagonals bisect the angles in rhombus]
∠A = 2 × ∠CAB = 2 × 40 = 80°
Now, ∠A + ∠D = 180°
80° + 2x = 180°
x = 100/2 = 50°
What is the next number 2, 9, 28, 65, _____.
126
The series follows the rule:
13 + 1, 23 + 1, 33 + 1, 43 + 1
So the term in place of is 53 + 1 is 125 + 1 = 126
“Neeraj Chopra” is associated with which sports event ?
Javelin Throw
Javelin Throw
The missing term of the series is A2, C5, E8, G11, _____.
I14
To determine the pattern in the given series and find the missing term, let's examine the relationship between the terms:
The series appears to consist of alternating letters and numbers.
The letters follow the pattern of increasing by 2 (A, C, E, G), while the numbers increase by 3 (2, 5, 8, 11)
Using this pattern, we can find the missing term:
The next letter should be "I" (G + 2)
The next number should be 14 (11 + 3)
Therefore, the missing term in the series is "I14"

Which of the following will complete the adjoining figure


In the given figure l||m||n, the value of x is
50°

Sum of interior angles of a triangle = 180°
∠ABC = 180° – 120° = 60°
∠ACB = 180° – ∠A – ∠ABC
∠ACB = 180° – 70° – 60° = 50°
∠x = ∠ACB [Corresponding angles]
∠x = 50°

If DOG = 26, FLY = 43 them what is the code for ‘BIRD’
33
To find the code for "BIRD" using the pattern provided, we need to assign a numerical value to each letter of the alphabet (e.g., A=1, B=2, C=3, and so on) and then sum up the values for each letter in the word.
D + O + G = 26
F + L + Y = 43
Now, let's calculate the code for "BIRD"
B + I + R + D = ?
B = 2, I = 9, R = 18, D = 4
Adding these values together: 2 + 9 + 18 + 4 = 33
So, the code for "BIRD" would be 33.

If the sugar price is increased by 25% by how much percent consumption should be reduced that expense remains the same ?
20%
To determine the percent by which consumption should be reduced so that the expense remains the same after a 25% increase in sugar price, we can set up a proportion.
Let's assume the original price of sugar is 100 units (you can use any value as the base, as the percentage change will remain the same).
After a 25% increase in price, the new price of sugar will be 100 + (25% of 100) = 100 + 25 = 125 units.
Now, let's assume the original consumption of sugar is "x" units.
The original expense is the price multiplied by the consumption:
Expense = Price × Consumption = 100 × x = 100x
To keep the expense the same after the price increase, the new consumption should be reduced.
Let's assume the new consumption is "y" units.
The new expense is the new price multiplied by the new consumption:
Expense = New Price × New Consumption = 125 × y = 125y
Since we want the new expense to be equal to the original expense, we set up the equation:
100x = 125y
Now, let's solve for y to find the new consumption:
y = (100x)/125
y = 4x/5
To determine the percentage change in consumption, we calculate the
difference between the original consumption (x) and the new consumption
(y), divide it by the original consumption (x), and multiply by 100:
Percentage Change in Consumption = [(x - y)/x] × 100
Percentage Change in Consumption = [(x - 4x/5)/x] × 100
Percentage Change in Consumption = [(x/5)/x] × 100
Percentage Change in Consumption = (1/5) × 100
Percentage Change in Consumption = 20%
Therefore, consumption should be reduced by 20% to keep the expense the same after a 25% increase in sugar price.
Mohan's Mother is three times as old as Mohan. After 6 years. His mother will be two times as old as he will be them. Find the age of Mohan.
6 years
Let's assume Mohan's age as "x" years.
According to the given information, Mohan's mother is three times as old as Mohan, so her age would be 3x years.
After 6 years, Mohan's age will be x + 6, and his mother's age will be 3x + 6
The problem states that after 6 years, his mother will be two times as old as Mohan will be at that time.
Mathematically, we can express this as:
3x + 6 = 2(x + 6)
Now, let's solve this equation to find the value of x, which represents
Mohan's current age:
3x + 6 = 2x + 12
Subtracting 2x from both sides:
3x - 2x + 6 = 12
Simplifying:
x + 6 = 12
Subtracting 6 from both sides:
x = 6
Therefore, Mohan is currently 6 years old.

In a row of 35 student, Ramesh is 24th from starting. Two student from last went away. What is the position of Ramesh from last row ?
10th
In a row of 35 students Ramesh is 24th from starting
Ramesh position from last = (35 - 24) = 12th
If two persons from last went away, that means total student will reduce to 33.
Now Ramesh position from last = 33 – 24 + 1 = 10th
Hence, 10th is the correct answer.

The average of the first 8 multiples of 8 is ?
36
To find the average of the first 8 multiples of 8, we can list out the multiples and calculate their sum.
The first 8 multiples of 8 are: 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64
To calculate the average, we sum up these numbers and divide by the count, which is 8 in this case:
Average = (8 + 16 + 24 + 32 + 40 + 48 + 56 + 64)/8
Calculating the sum:
Average = 288/8
Dividing the sum by 8:
Average = 36
Therefore, the average of the first 8 multiples of 8 is 36.



At hill stations, the boiling point of water will be _____________.
Less than that at sea level
The boiling point is the temperature at which the vapour pressure of the liquid equals the environmental pressure surrounding the liquid. Atmospheric pressure is due to air above any given point. The atmospheric pressure at high altitudes like hill station is less than at the sea level. Thus, vapour pressure will equal atmospheric pressure at a comparatively low temperature. Thus, the boiling point of water is reduced less than at sea level

Find the value of (25)3 + (–29)3 + (4)3.
– 8700
Since 25 + (–29) + 4 = 0
We can use the formula:
Since a + b + c = 0
Then, a3 + b3 + c3 = 3abc
Therefore, (25)3 + (–29)3 + (4)3
= 3 × 25 × (–29) × 4 = – 8700
