Options:
A. 10707
B. 10749
C. 11449
D. 11407

Answer: C

Square of 101 is 10201. So, second term is square of first.
Square of 107 will be 11449.

We can use short cut method to calculate the square 107.

Square of (107-100) 07 = 49

and add remainder (107-100) 07 to 107 = 114

Square of 107 will be 11449.

SSC CGL 5 August, 2017 Shift 1 Question 1(Reasoning) with Solution.

1. In the following question, select the related word pair from the given alternative:
Power: Watt::?:?.
Options:
A. Pressure : Newton
B. Force : Pascal
C. Resistance : Mho
D. Work : Joule.


Answer: D.

SI Unit of work is Joule.

SI Unit of Pressure is pascal.

Pressure is defined as force per unit area.

P(Pressure) = F / A or Force / Area.

1 Pascal = 1 Newton / meter square

SI Unit of Force is Newton.

Force(F) = Mass(M) * Acceleration(A)
1 Newton = KG Meter / second 

SI Unit of Resistance is Ohm.

Mho is SI unit of electrical conductance
