Question :
Conglobate gland is a leaf like structure found in:
Option 1:
Female Cockroach
Option 2:
Male Cockroach
Option 3: Male Ascaris
Option 4: Female Ascaris
Correct Answer:
Solution : The correct option is male cockroach.
The "conglobate gland" is a male cockroach structure. In male cockroaches, the conglobate gland is a specialised gland connected with the reproductive system. It's termed a "conglobate" structure because it looks like a folded leaf. This gland creates and stores specific substances that are important in male cockroach mating behaviour. Male cockroaches may produce these glandular fluids during courting as part of their reproductive displays or to attract females.
Question : Directions: A is taller than B, C is taller than A. D is taller than E but shorter than B. Who is the tallest?
Option 1: C
Option 2: A
Option 3: D
Option 4: B
Correct Answer: C
Solution : Given: A is taller than B; A > B C is taller than A; C > A D is taller than E but shorter than B; B > D > E
By concluding all the given information, we have – E < D < B < A < C
So, C is the tallest. Hence, the first option is correct.
Question : Direction: From the given alternative words, select the word which can be formed using the letters of the given word.
IMMEDIATELY
Option 1: DIALECT
Option 2: LIMITED
Option 3: DIAMETER
Option 4: DICTATE
Correct Answer: LIMITED
Solution : Given: IMMEDIATELY
Let's compare the given options –
First option: DIALECT
All the letters of DIALECT are not present in the word IMMEDIATELY.
Second option: LIMITED
All the letters of LIMITED are present in the word IMMEDIATELY.
Third option: DIAMETER
All the letters of DIAMETER are not present in the word IMMEDIATELY.
Fourth option: DICTATE
All the letters of DICTATE are not present in the word IMMEDIATELY.
So, the word LIMITED can be formed using the word IMMEDIATELY.
Hence, the second option is correct.
Question : Find the value of $\tan 27^{\circ} \tan 34^{\circ}+\tan 34^{\circ} \tan 29^{\circ}+\tan 29^{\circ} \tan 27^{\circ}$.
Option 1: $0$
Option 2: $–1$
Option 3: $\sqrt3$
Option 4: $1$
Correct Answer: $1$
Solution : If $A + B + C = 90°$, then $\tan A\tan B + \tan B\tan C + \tan C\tan A = 1$ Now, 27 + 34 + 29 = 90° So, $\tan 27^{\circ} \tan 34^{\circ} + \tan 34^{\circ} \tan 29^{\circ} + \tan 29^{\circ} \tan 27^{\circ}=1$ Hence, the correct answer is 1.
Question : Which of the following cells line the spongocoel and canals in members of the phylum Porifera?
Option 1: Somatic cells
Option 2: Collar cells
Option 3: White cells
Option 4: Sex cells
Correct Answer: Collar cells
Solution : The correct answer is Collar cells.
Choanocytes, also called collar cells, are special cells that cover the inside of the central cavity (spongocoel) and canals in sponges. These cells have tiny, hair-like structures called flagella. The flagella move in a coordinated way to create a flow of water that goes in one direction, towards the opening at the top called the osculum. This flow helps the sponge filter and collect nutrients from the water, kind of like a natural water pump for the sponge.
Question : Directions: Select the figure from the options that can replace the question mark (?) and complete the given pattern.
Option 3:
Option 4:
Solution : In the given figure, follow the directions to find the next term –
Hence, the first option is correct.
Question : Select the option that expresses the given sentence in passive voice.
He does not buy shirts.
Option 1: Shirts are not bought by him.
Option 2: Shirts are not brought by him.
Option 3: Shirts were not been bought by him.
Option 4: Shirts were not bought by him.
Correct Answer: Shirts are not bought by him.
Solution : The correct choice is the first option.
Passive voice is the voice in which the object experiences an action rather than the person who performs the action. Hence, the object in the active voice becomes the subject in the passive voice.
The structure of the passive sentence in the simple present tense is: Object + are + not + past participle form of the verb + by + agent of action.
So, the correct sentence is: Shirts are not bought by him.
Question : The cube of 997 is:
Option 1: 991026973
Option 2: 991029673
Option 3: 998746523
Option 4: 99102456
Correct Answer: 991026973
Solution : Here, (997)3 = (1000 – 3)3 = 10003 – 33 – 3 × 1000 × 3 × (1000 – 3) [Using the formula (a – b)3 = a3 – b3 – 3ab(a – b)] = 1000000000 – 27 – 9000(997) = 991026973 Hence, the correct answer is 991026973.
Question : What is the Net National Product?
Option 1: The product of gross national product and depreciation is net national product.
Option 2: The sum of gross national product and income of foreigners is net national product.
Option 3: Net National product is equal to gross national product.
Option 4: The difference between gross national product and depreciation is net national product.
Correct Answer: The difference between gross national product and depreciation is net national product.
Solution : The correct answer is The difference between gross national product and depreciation is net national product.
The term "net national product" refers to gross national product, which is the total market value, less depreciation, of all finished goods and services generated by a nation's or other polity's factors of production over a specific period. As a result, NNP is equal to national income, or the total amount of money that can be spent on goods and services in the economy. The net national product is the amount that remains after depreciation, which subtracts it from the gross national product.
Question : Select the false statement from the given options.
Option 1: Baikal rocks are formed from the dissolved materials that precipitate from the solution
Option 2: The sedimentary rocks are formed by the deposition and subsequent cementation of that material within bodies of water and at the surface of the earth
Option 3: Metamorphic rocks may be formed simply by being deep beneath the Earth’s surface, subjected to high temperatures and the great pressure of the rock layers above it
Option 4: Igneous rock is formed through the cooling and solidification of magma or lava
Correct Answer: Baikal rocks are formed from the dissolved materials that precipitate from the solution
Solution : The correct option is Baikal rocks are formed from the dissolved materials that precipitate from the solution.
The rocks around Lake Baikal in Siberia, Russia, are primarily of igneous origin. Lake Baikal is known for its unique geological and environmental features, but the formation of rocks in the region is not primarily related to the precipitation of dissolved materials from solutions.
