Creativity and Institutions Quiz

The highest common factor (HCF) or greatest common divisor (GCD) of two or more integers is the largest positive integer that divides all of the integers without leaving a remainder.

The population of a town is 12000, and it increases by 6% for males and 8% for females, resulting in a total population of 12800. The goal is to find the original number of females in the town.

Simple Interest is calculated only on the principal amount. It is a fixed percentage of the principal amount that is earned over a specific period of time.

When interest is compounded, it means that the interest earned in each period is added to the principal amount, and then interest is calculated on the new, larger principal for the next period.

To convert km/h (kilometers per hour) to m/s (meters per second), you can use the following conversion: 1 km/h = 5/18 m/s

The speed of the bike is given as 108 km/h, and the time taken to cross the bridge is 8 minutes. To find the length of the bridge, we need to convert the speed to m/s and the time to seconds.

Creative processes often face resistance from established institutions, which are designed for order and control, not the chaotic nature of creativity. This can stifle innovation and originality.

The author argues that creativity is not a solitary act; it thrives when individuals interact, learn from each other, and build upon each other's ideas.

Cities are seen as fertile ground for creativity due to the abundance of diverse people and their interactions. This creates a dynamic environment where new ideas can emerge and grow.

The author believes that while creative expression is flourishing, the dangers to creativity lie not in its suppression, but in the way institutions might limit its full potential.

Creativity inherently disrupts existing structures and processes. This can be seen as a threat to traditional ways of doing things, leading to resistance from established systems.

The author highlights the importance of social interaction in nurturing creativity. Cities, with their diverse populations, provide a breeding ground for collaboration, learning, and inspiration.

The author uses the term “disruptive” to describe how creativity challenges established processes and norms. This suggests that creativity can be seen as a force for change.

Using words that mean the opposite of what you actually intend, often for humorous or emphatic effect.

Real estate developers enthusiastically competed to get large, well-known stores as tenants in their malls.

A shopping mall is not just a place for shopping, but also a social hub where people work, meet, and spend time.

The author uses the examples of Magic Eye posters, wind catchers, and Air Jordans to show the diverse range of products sold in malls, reflecting the variety of tastes.

The statement highlights the contrast between the traditional, communal role of malls and the modern focus on workplaces.

The mall played a significant role in the lives of middle-class Americans, serving as a meeting place, a social space, and a location for many first-time experiences.

The malls were a place where people of all ages and interests could find something they liked, creating a unique social environment.

Shopping centers were a place for people to gather and socialize, creating a sense of community.

Simple interest is calculated only on the principal amount. It's a fixed percentage of the principal that's earned over a period of time. For example, if you invest $100 at 5% simple interest per year, you'll earn $5 in interest every year.

To convert km/h (kilometers per hour) to m/s (meters per second), you can use the formula: 1 km/h = 5/18 m/s.

The length of a bridge is the distance a bike travels while crossing it. To find the length, multiply its speed by the time it takes to cross.

Efficiency is how fast someone completes a task. To find the time to complete a task, divide the remaining work by their combined daily efficiency.

A conclusion is a judgment or decision reached by reasoning.

A conclusion is considered 'logically following' if it is a direct and unavoidable consequence of the given statements.

This means the conclusion can be proven or disproven based solely on the given statements.

It means there is no logical connection between the conclusion and the given statements.

It refers to the principles of fairness and equality in competition.

A prohibited drug in sports is considered a violation of the rules and undermines the spirit of fair competition.

It refers to the fundamental rights guaranteed by a country's constitution, such as freedom of speech or religion.

Parliament has the power to change the constitution, which includes modifying or adding to existing rights.

The Highest Common Factor (HCF), also called the Greatest Common Divisor (GCD), is the largest positive integer that divides two or more integers without leaving a remainder.

Dividing 51000 by 26, we analyze the remainders of the divisions. We observe a cyclical pattern of remainders: 5, 25, 21, 1. This cycle repeats. Since the remainder 1 signifies the last term of the cycle, a remainder of 0 indicating the last term means the remainder is 1.

To find the product of the common prime factors with the least powers of 24, 30, and 42, we first factorize each number. The prime factorization reveals the common factors: 2 and 3. The product of these factors raised to their least powers: 2¹ × 3¹ = 6

The HCF of 1785 and 1995 is 105. Then, we find the HCF of 105 and 3381, which is also 105.

First, we calculate the number of valid votes: 6000 * (75/100) = 4500. Then, we determine Mhatre's votes: 4500 * (35/100) = 1575

Let A be represented by x and B by (1200 - x). The equation is: 85% of x + 80% of (1200 - x) = 85% of 1200. Solving for x, we get x = 750. Therefore, the amount left with A is 88% of 750 = 660.

125 toffees cost 75, meaning one toffee costs 75/125. Therefore, 1 million toffees cost (75/125) * 1000000 = 600000. After the discount, the price becomes 600000 * (60/100) = 360000.

Simple interest is calculated only on the principal amount. It is a fixed percentage of the principal amount that is earned over a specific period of time. In this case, the simple interest is calculated as (2000 x 2 x 10) / 100 = 4000.
