How many complete tanks of water, each with a capacity of 3 cubic meters, are needed to fill an empty cylindrical tank whose height is 3 meters and whose base has a radius of 2 meters? A) 12 B) 13 C) 14 D) 15 E) 16 Ans. Volume of the cylindrical tank = pi * r^2 * h
Volume of the cylindrical tank = pi * 2^2 * 3 Volume of the cylindrical tank = pi * 4 * 3 Volume of the cylindrical tank = 12 * 3.14 = 37 almost cubic meter Now ,1 comlete tank of water = 3 cubic meter so tanks required to fill 37 cubic meters will be 37/3 = 12.something i-e > 12so we will need 12 compete tanksand the 13th one will be partialy filled.

2. Any serious policy discussion about acceptable levels of risk in connection with explosions is not well served if the participants fail to use the word explosion and use the phrase energetic disassembly instead. In fact, the word explosion elicits desirable reactions, such as a heightened level of attention, whereas the substitute phrase does not. Therefore, of the two terms, explosion is the one that should be used throughout discussions of this sort. Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument above depends? (A) In the kind of discussion at issue, the advantages of desirable reactions to the term explosion outweigh the drawbacks, if any, arising from undesirable reactions to that term. (B) The phrase energetic disassembly has not so far been used as a substitute for the word explosion in the kind of discussion at issue. (C) In any serious policy discussion, what is said by the participants is more important than how it is put into words. (D) The only reason that people would have for using energetic disassembly in place of explosion is to render impossible any serious policy discussion concerning explosions. (E) The phrase energetic disassembly is not necessarily out of place in describing a controlled rather than an accidental explosion ANS: A 3.

ANS, Let son's present age is X years. Hence, father's present age is (3X + 3) years. After 3

years, son's age will be (X + 3) years. and father's age will be (3X + 6) years. But given that after 3 years father's age will be ten yearsmore than twice the son's age. (3X + 6) = 2 * (X + 3) + 10 3X + 6 = 2X + 16 X = 10 Therefore, father's present age is 33 years.
