Question : Directions: In the following question, you have to identify the correct response from the given premises stated according to the following signs. If × means addition, – means division, ÷ means subtraction, and + means multiplication, then which of the equations is correct?
Option 1: 16 × 5 ÷ 10 + 4 – 3 = 19
Option 2: 16 + 5 ÷ 10 × 4 – 3 = 9
Option 3: 16 + 5 – 10 × 4 ÷ 3 = 9
Option 4: 16 – 5 × 10 ÷ 4 + 3 = 12
Correct Answer: 16 + 5 – 10 × 4 ÷ 3 = 9
Solution : Given: × means addition, – means division, ÷ means subtraction, and + means multiplication.
Replace the mathematical signs in the equations and solve the equations one by one. Let's check the given options – First option: 16 × 5 ÷ 10 + 4 – 3 = 19 ⇒ 16 + 5 – 10 × 4 ÷ 3 = 19 Solving L.H.S. of the equation – = 16 + 5 – 10 × 1.33 = 16 + 5 – 13.33 = 21 – 13.33 = 7.67 ≠ 19 Second option: 16 + 5 ÷ 10 × 4 – 3 = 9 ⇒ 16 × 5 – 10 + 4 ÷ 3 = 9 Solving L.H.S. of the equation – = 16 × 5 – 10 + 1.33 = 80 – 10 + 1.33 = 81.33 – 10 = 71.33 ≠ 9 Third option: 16 + 5 – 10 × 4 ÷ 3 = 9 ⇒ 16 × 5 ÷ 10 + 4 – 3 = 9 Solving L.H.S. of the equation – = 16 × 0.5 + 4 – 3 = 8 + 4 – 3 = 12 – 3 = 9 = R.H.S. Fourth option: 16 – 5 × 10 ÷ 4 + 3 = 12 ⇒ 16 ÷ 5 + 10 – 4 × 3 = 12 Solving L.H.S. of the equation – = 3.2 + 10 – 4 × 3 = 3.2 + 10 – 12 = 13.2 – 12 = 1.2 ≠ 12
So, only the third option satisfies the given condition. Hence, the third option is correct.
Question : The term 'Back-stick' is used in which of the following games/sports?
Option 1: Basketball
Option 2: Badminton
Option 3: Hockey
Option 4: Volleyball
Correct Answer: Hockey
Solution : The correct answer is Hockey.
In hockey, the phrase "back-stick" is used. In a hockey game, a variety of fouls can result in penalties. The back stick is an illegal shot where the puck hits the hockey stick's rounded face. Players are not permitted to use both sides of the stick when playing hockey.
Question : Outside the nucleus DNA is found in
Option 1: Golgi bodies
Option 2: Mitochondria
Option 3: RIbosome
Option 4: Endoplasmic reticulum
Correct Answer: Mitochondria
Solution : The correct option is - Mitochondria.
The DNA found in mitochondria, which are cellular organelles in eukaryotic cells.Mitochondria transforms chemical energy from food into a form that cells can utilise, such as adenosine triphosphate (ATP), is known as mitochondrial DNA. The majority of the DNA in a eukaryotic cell may be found in the cell nucleus; mitochondrial DNA only makes up a small percentage of this DNA.
Question : If $\frac{\sin x-\cos x}{\sin x+\cos x}=\frac{2}{5}$, then the value of $\frac{1+\cot ^2 x}{1-\cot ^2 x}$ is:
Option 1: 2.25
Option 2: 1.45
Option 3: 3.75
Option 4: 5.25
Correct Answer: 1.45
Solution : $\frac{\sin x-\cos x}{\sin x+\cos x}=\frac{2}{5}$ Dividing both the numerator and denominator by $\cos x$ ⇒ $\frac{1-\cot x}{1+\cot x}=\frac{2}{5}$ ⇒ $5-5\cot x=2+2\cot x$ ⇒ $\cot x=\frac{3}{7}$ So, $\frac{1+\cot ^2 x}{1-\cot ^2 x}$=$\frac{1+(\frac{3}7) ^2}{1-(\frac{3}7)^2 }=\frac{58}{40} = 1.45$ Hence, the correct answer is 1.45.
Question : What is the transplantation of graft between genetically identical individuals?
Option 1: Autograft
Option 2: Isograft
Option 3: Allograft
Option 4: Xenograft
Correct Answer: Isograft
Solution : The correct option is Isograft.
The transplantation of graft between genetically identical people is known as "isograft" or "isogeneic graft". The donor and recipient in this sort of grafting or transplantation have the same genetic composition because they are identical twins or clones. Because of the genetic similarities, the immunological response to the graft is weak or non-existent, lowering the chance of rejection. Isografts have a better success rate than transplants between persons with diverse genetic origins.
Question : Directions: If P denotes +, Q denotes –, R denotes ÷, and S denotes ×, then 18 S 36 R 12 Q 6 P 7 = ?
Option 1: 115
Option 2: 65
Option 3: 55
Option 4: 25
Correct Answer: 55
Solution : Given: 18 S 36 R 12 Q 6 P 7 = ?
After replacing the letters with mathematical signs, the equation becomes – = 18 × 36 ÷ 12 – 6 + 7 = 18 × 3 – 6 + 7 = 54 – 6 + 7 = 61 – 6 = 55
Hence, the third option is correct.
Question : Match the following:
Option 1: 1-c, 2-d, 3-a, 4-b
Option 2: 1-a, 2-c, 3-d, 4-b
Option 3: 1-b, 2-d, 3-a, 4-c
Option 4: 1-b, 2-a, 3-d, 4-c
Correct Answer: 1-b, 2-d, 3-a, 4-c
Solution : The correct answer is 1-b, 2-d, 3-a, 4-c.

Question : Sita gets a discount of 20% on INR 3,000 juicer mixer machine. Since she pays cash, she gets an additional 5% discount too. How much does she pay?
Option 1: INR 2,280
Option 2: INR 2,276
Option 3: INR 2,282
Option 4: INR 2,278
Correct Answer: INR 2,280
Solution : Final discount% = $20 + 5 - \frac{20 \times 5}{100} = 24$% Now, she pays = $3000(1 - 24\%) = 2280$ Hence, the correct answer is INR 2,280.
Question : Parts of the following sentence have been given as options. Select the option that contains an error.
She is in an hurry to meet her brother.
Option 1: to meet
Option 2: She is in
Option 3: her brother
Option 4: an hurry
Correct Answer: an hurry
Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.
Explanation: The correct article to be used should be "a" instead of "an" before "hurry". An is used before words that start with a vowel sound, while a is used before words that start with a consonant sound. In this case, "hurry" starts with a consonant sound, so it should be a hurry.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: "She is in a hurry to meet her brother."
