Question : Direction: In the given question, select the related code from the given alternatives.
AEFJ : KOPT :: ? : QUVZ
Option 1: HKQL
Option 2: GLKP
Option 3: GKLP
Option 4: HLKP
Correct Answer: GKLP
Solution : Given:
A + 4 = E; E + 1 = F; F + 4 = J.
K + 4 = O; O + 1 = P; P + 4 = T.
Similarly,
G + 4 = K; K + 1 = L; L + 4 = P.
Q + 4 = U; U + 1 = V; V + 4 = Z.
The answer is AEFJ : KOPT :: GKLP : QUVZ.
Hence, third option is correct.
Question : During the reign of Akbar, ________ was the land that has lain fallow for three or four years.
Option 1: parauti
Option 2: polaj
Option 3: chachar
Option 4: banjar
Correct Answer: chachar
Solution : The correct option is chachar.
During the reign of Akbar, the land that had lain fallow for three or four years was known as "chachar". Fallow land was often subject to revenue exemptions or reductions as an incentive for farmers to bring it back into cultivation. This practice was part of Akbar's agrarian reforms, aimed at increasing agricultural productivity and revenue collection in the Mughal Empire.
Question : Directions: In a certain code language, BENT is coded as 3198 and DEBT is coded as 8316. What is the code for N in the given code language?
Option 1: 1
Option 2: 9
Option 3: 3
Option 4: 8
Correct Answer: 9
Solution : Given: BENT is coded as 3198, and DEBT is coded as 8316.
Compare both the given words, BENT, and DEBT. In both the words, (B, E, T) are the common letters, and in their codes (1, 3, 8) are the common digits. So, in the word BENT, N is the remaining letter and in its code 9 is the remaining digit. Similarly, in the word DEBT, D is the remaining letter and in its code 6 is the remaining digit.
So, N is coded as 9. Hence, the second option is correct.
Question : A person can hit a target 5 times out of 8 shots. If he fires 10 shots, what is the probability that he will hit the target twice?
Option 1: $\frac{1135 \times 3^8}{8^{10}}$
Option 2: $\frac{1165 \times 3^8}{8^{10}}$
Option 3: $\frac{1175 \times 3^8}{8^{10}}$
Option 4: $\frac{1125 \times 3^8}{8^{10}}$
Correct Answer: $\frac{1125 \times 3^8}{8^{10}}$
Solution : Probability of hitting = $\frac{5}{8}$ Probability of losing = $\frac{3}{8}$ Probability of hitting twice when 10 shots are fired = 10C2$(\frac{5}{8})^2(\frac{3}{8})^8$ = $\frac{10×9×5×5}{1×2}$× $\frac{ 3^8}{8^{10}}$ = $\frac{1125 ×3^8}{8^{10}}$ Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{1125 ×3^8}{8^{10}}$.
Question : Given below are four sentences in jumbled order. Pick the option that gives their correct order.
A. He took great care of his subjects and made sure they lived in happiness. B. Sometimes he himself went amongst the people in disguise to see and learn about their actual state. C. He sent spies into the kingdom to report to him about the condition of his people. D. A just and loving king once ruled over a large kingdom.
Option 1: CABD
Option 2: DBCA
Option 3: DACB
Option 4: BDAC
Correct Answer: DACB
Solution : The correct choice is the third option.
The paragraph starts with sentence D, which provides the initial context, introducing the king and the setting, followed by sentence A, which adds information about the king's behaviour and rule, emphasising his care for his subjects and their happiness, followed by sentence C, which introduces an action taken by the king that is sending spies into the kingdom to gather information about the condition of his people, and lastly, sentence B, which adds another action taken by the king that is going amongst the people in disguise to personally observe and learn about their actual state.
Question : Directions: In the following question below are given some statements followed by some conclusions based on those statements. Taking the given statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance from commonly known facts. Read all the conclusions and then decide which of the given conclusions logically follows the given statements. Statements: Some P is K. No K is T. Conclusions: I. All P is T. II. All T is K. III. Some P is not T.
Option 1: Only conclusion II follows
Option 2: Only conclusion III follows
Option 3: All conclusions follow
Option 4: Both conclusions II and III follow
Correct Answer: Only conclusion III follows
Solution : The possible Venn diagram according to the given statements is as follows –
Let's analyse the conclusions – Conclusion (I): All P is T – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that there is no direct relation between P and T. So, no definite relation can be drawn. Therefore, this conclusion does not follow. Conclusion (II): All T are K – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that there is a negative relation between T and K. So, this conclusion does not follow. Conclusion (III): Some P are not T – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that the circles representing P and K overlap and have a part of their area in common. So, it can be concluded that some P that are K are not T.
So, the only conclusion III follows. Hence, the second option is correct.
Question : Comprehension:
In the following passage, some words have been deleted. Read the passage carefully and select the most appropriate option to fill in each blank.
I will tell you what I will do and what I will not do. I will not (1) _____________ that in which I no longer believe, (2) ____________ it calls itself my home, my fatherland, or my church: and I will try to (3) _______________ myself in some mode of life or art as (4) _____________ as I can and as wholly as I can, using for my defence the only arms I (5) ____________ myself to use: silence, exile and cunning.
Question:
Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank number 1.
Option 1: serve
Option 2: drain
Option 3: lag
Option 4: debit
Correct Answer: serve
Solution : The right option is the first option.
The word serve here means to be in the service of or to fulfil a role or purpose.
In this context, the speaker is stating that there are certain things they won't assist or support. The sentence suggests a refusal to be involved in a particular capacity or to help in certain situations.
Hence, the complete sentence would be: "I will not serve that in which I no longer believe."
Question : If $ \frac{(5x\:-\:y)}{(5x\:+\:y)}=\frac{3}{7},$ what is the value of $\frac{(4x^{2}\:+\:y^{2}\:–\:4xy)}{(9x^{2}\:+\:16y^{2}\:+\:24xy)}$?
Option 1: $0$
Option 2: $\frac{3}{7}$
Option 3: $\frac{18}{49}$
Option 4: $\frac{1}{6}$
Correct Answer: $0$
Solution : Given: $\frac{(5x\:-\:y)}{(5x\:+\:y)}=\frac{3}{7}$ $⇒35x-7y=15x+3y$ $⇒20x-10y=0$ $⇒2x-y=0$---------------(i) $\frac{(4x^{2}\:+\:y^{2}\:-\:4xy)}{(9x^{2}\:+\:16y^{2}\:+\:24xy)}$ = $\frac{(2x\:-\:y)^{2}}{(9x^{2}\:+\:16y^{2}\:+\:24xy)}$ Since from equation (i), we know $2x-y=0$, substituting the value in the above equation, we get, $=\frac{0}{(9x^{2}\:+\:16y^{2}\:+\:24xy)}=$ 0 Hence, the correct answer is $0$.
Question : The ordinary and maximum tolerance limit of sound by human being is:
Option 1: 50 dB to 70 dB (decibel)
Option 2: 60 dB to 80 dB (decibel)
Option 3: 65 dB to 75 dB (decibel)
Option 4: 70 dB to 85 dB (decibel)
Correct Answer: 60 dB to 80 dB (decibel)
Solution : The correct option is 60 dB to 80 dB (decibel).
A human's normal sound tolerance level is between 60 and 80 decibels (dB). Sounds exceeding 80 dB are potentially dangerous and can cause hearing damage or pain, especially if exposed for an extended period of time. In loud surroundings, protective measures such as earplugs or earmuffs are suggested to avoid hearing impairment.
