Medium
A 1
B -1
C 0
D 2
General MCQs PPSC

Correct Answer: B

For 2D vectors u=(u1,u2) and v=(v1,v2), the cross product magnitude is u1*v2 - u2*v1. Here, (1 × -1) - (0 × 0) = -1.

Q1671.A car covers 2 km using 15 liters of fuel. Fuel costs Rs. 90 per liter. How much distance can the car cover for Rs. 450?

Medium
A 1 km
B 2 km
C 10 km
D 665 m
Practical Mathematics PPSC

Correct Answer: D

Fuel for Rs. 450 = 450 / 90 = 5 liters. Distance for 15 liters = 2 km => 1 liter = 2/15 km => 5 liters = 10/15 km = 2/3 km ≈ 665 meters.
