Question : Directions: In this question, some equations are solved on the same basis as a certain system. On the same basis, find out the correct answer out of the four alternatives for the unsolved equation.
If, 64 + 7 = 460 and 25 + 8 = 212, then 43 + 8 = ?
Option 1: 360
Option 2: 376
Option 3: 332
Option 4: 356
Correct Answer: 356
Solution : Given:
64 + 7 = 460 and 25 + 8 = 212
Like, 64 + 7 = 460→(64 × 7) + 12 = 448 + 12 = 460
And, 25 + 8 = 212→(25 × 8) + 12 = 200 + 12 = 212
Similarly, for 43 + 8 = ?→(43 × 8) + 12 = 344 + 12 = 356
Hence, the fourth option is correct.
Question : Three years ago, Raman’s salary was INR 45,000. His salary is increased by 10 percent, A percent and 20 percent in the first, second and third year respectively. Raman's present salary is INR 83,160. What is the value of A?
Option 1: 50
Option 2: 30
Option 3: 54
Option 4: 40
Correct Answer: 40
Solution : Given: Three years ago, Raman’s salary was INR 45,000.
According to the question,
45000 × (100 + 10)% × (100 + A)% × (100 + 20)% = 83160
⇒ 45000 ×
⇒ (100 + A)% =
⇒ 5(100 + A) = 7 × 100
⇒ 500 + 5A = 700
⇒ 5A = 700 – 500
⇒ 5A = 200
⇒ A = 40
Hence, the correct answer is 40.

Question : The most ideal region for the cultivation of cotton in India is
Option 1: The Brahmaputra Valley
Option 2: The Deccan Plateau
Option 3: The Indo Gangetic Valley
Option 4: The Rann of Kutch
Correct Answer: The Deccan Plateau

Question : Which of the following winds is called anti-trade wind ?
Option 1: Chinook
Option 2: Cyclone
Option 3: Typhoon
Option 4: Westerlies
Correct Answer: Westerlies
Solution : The correct option is Westerlies.
The opposite of the trade winds, which blow from east to west, are the "westerlies." Westerlies are prevailing winds that blow from west to east in the middle latitudes, typically between 30 and 60 degrees latitude in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. They are usually referred to as "anti-trade winds," as they do blow in the opposite direction.

Question : Directions: Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as the numbers of the following set.
(NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into their constituent digits. E.g. 13 - operations on 13 such as adding/subtracting/multiplying etc. to 13 can be performed. Breaking down 13 into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is not allowed.)
(44, 63, 98)
(59, 99, 149)
Option 1: (81, 15, 87)
Option 2: (54, 73, 121)
Option 3: (19, 32, 44)
Option 4: (82, 13, 96)
Correct Answer: (81, 15, 87)
Solution : Given:
(44, 63, 98); (59, 99, 149)
In the given sets, the sum of the first and second numbers equals the sum of the third number and 9.
(44, 63, 98)→44 + 63 = 107; 98 + 9 = 107
(59, 99, 149)→59 + 99 = 158; 149 + 9 = 158
Let's check the options –
First option: (81, 15, 87)→81 + 15 = 96; 87 + 9 = 96
Second option: (54, 73, 121)→54 + 73 = 127; 121 + 9 = 130 ≠ 127
Third option: (19, 32, 44)→19 + 32 = 51; 44 + 9 = 53 ≠ 51
Fourth option: (82, 13, 96)→82 + 13 = 95; 96 + 9 = 105 ≠ 95
So, only the first option, follows the pattern of the given sets. Hence, the first option is correct.
Question : Non-tax revenue is part of ______.
Option 1: Revenue expenditure
Option 2: Revenue receipts
Option 3: Capital expenditure
Option 4: Capital receipts
Correct Answer: Revenue receipts
Solution : The correct option is Revenue receipts.
Non-tax revenue is part of a government's total revenue.

Question : Directions: Which letter cluster will replace the question mark (?) to complete the given series?
ABCD, EBCD, ?, OBCD, UBCD
Option 1: JBCD
Option 2: LBCD
Option 3: IBCD
Option 4: KBCD
Correct Answer: IBCD
Solution : Given:
ABCD, EBCD, ?, OBCD, UBCD
According to the vowel series (A, E, I, O, U), the first letter is increased by 1 from the previous term and BCD is constant in all the terms –
ABCD→A + 1 = E; According to the vowel series; EBCD
EBCD→E + 1 = I; According to the vowel series; IBCD
IBCD→I + 1 = O; According to the vowel series; OBCD
OBCD→O + 1 = U; According to the vowel series; UBCD
So, IBCD is the missing term in the series. Hence, the third option is correct.
Question : Fifteen movie theatres average 600 customers per theatre per day. If six of the theatres close down, but the total theatre attendance stays the same, then the average daily attendance per theatre among the remaining theatres is:
Option 1: 900
Option 2: 1000
Option 3: 1100
Option 4: 1200
Correct Answer: 1000
Solution : Total attendance in 15 movie theatres = 15 × 600 = 9000
After the closing of 6 theatres, remaining theatres = 15 – 6 = 9
Attendance remains the same, so the required average:
Hence, the correct answer is 1000.
