Correct Answer: indecisive

Solution : The correct choice is the second option.

Resolute denotes having or showing great determination. Indecisive denotes not providing a definite and clear result. The word indecisive means the opposite of resolute, i.e., doubtful.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

• Reluctant: It denotes unwillingness and hesitancy.
• Disinclined: It denotes unwillingness.
• Gullible: It denotes believing and trusting people too easily and therefore being easily tricked.

Correct Answer: Protochordates

Solution : The Correct Answer is Protochordates

Protochordata and cyclostomata lack jaws. The invertebrate subphylum of the chordata phylum is referred to as protochordata. It contains creatures like tunicates.  Cyclostomata are a subclass of group agnatha that lack jaws, girdles, and paired appendages.  Hagfish and lampreys are the two types of fish without jaws. Hagfish typically consume dead or dying fish as food.

Correct Answer: (4)

Solution : The fourth option is the correct answer: No improvement.

This is because ''almost as soon as'' which means 'almost immediately' is used in the correct context here indicating that the speaker fell asleep immediately after laying their head on the pillow.

Correct Answer: $60^{\circ}$

Solution :
Given that $AB = AC$ in $\triangle ABC$.
This is an isosceles triangle, such that $\angle BAC = \angle ABC$.
We have, $\angle ACD = 120^\circ$
$\therefore \angle ACB = 180^\circ - 120^\circ = 60^\circ$
Since the sum of angles in a triangle is $180^\circ$.
⇒ $\angle BAC + \angle ABC + \angle ACB = 180^\circ$
⇒ $2\angle BAC + 60^\circ = 180^\circ$
$\therefore\angle BAC = \frac{180^\circ - 60^\circ}{2} = 60^\circ$
Hence, the correct answer is $60^\circ$.

Correct Answer: $45^{\circ}$

Solution :

Since, an angle subtended by the diameter of a circle at the circumference = $90^{\circ}$
⇒ $\angle$ ACB = $90^{\circ}$
$\angle$ BCD = $\angle$ ACD + $\angle$ ACB = $45^{\circ} + 90^{\circ}=135^{\circ}$
Since the opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary,
$\angle$ BCD + $\angle$ BAD = $180^{\circ}$
$\therefore \angle$ BAD = $180^{\circ} - 135^{\circ}=45^{\circ}$
Hence, the correct answer is $45^{\circ}$.

Correct Answer: International Non-Violence Day

Solution : The correct answer is International Non-Violence Day.

October 2nd is indeed observed as the International Day of Non-Violence. This date is significant because it marks the birthday of Mahatma Gandhi, the leader of the Indian independence movement against British colonial rule and a pioneer of non-violent resistance, known as "Satyagraha."

Correct Answer: Electrical energy

Solution : The correct option is electrical energy.

The photovoltaic effect is a mechanism used by photovoltaic cells, also referred to as solar cells, to transform light energy from the sun directly into electrical energy. When photons, the light particles hit a solar cell's surface, their energy is transferred to the material's electrons, causing this effect.  These electrons get activated by the energy of the photons, which causes them to flow as an electric current. The generated current can then be harnessed and used to power electrical equipment, or it can be stored in batteries for later use.
 

Correct Answer: $30 \frac{5}{8} \%$

Solution : Share of marks obtained in English = $52^{\circ}$
Share of marks obtained in S.S. = $59^{\circ}$
Share of total marks obtained in English and S.S = $52^{\circ}$+$59^{\circ}$ = $111^{\circ}$------------(i)
Share of marks obtained in Hindi = $72^{\circ}$
Share of marks obtained in Maths = $88^{\circ}$
Share of total marks obtained in Hindi and Maths = $160^{\circ}$ -----------(ii)
Difference in share of marks = $160^{\circ}$–$111^{\circ}$ = $49^{\circ}$
Marks obtained in English and S.S. are less than marks obtained in Hindi and Maths by:
= $\frac{49}{160}×100$
= $30\frac{5}{8}$%
Hence, the correct answer is $30\frac{5}{8}$%.

Correct Answer: 6.6

Solution :
Given:
In triangle MNO, AB is parallel NO and MA = 2.5, AN = 7.5, MB = 2.2
Here, triangles MNO and MAB are similar because angle M in triangle MNO is equal to angle M in triangle MAB.
So, $\frac{MA}{MN}=\frac{MB}{MO}$
⇒ $\frac{2.5}{2.5+7.5}=\frac{2.2}{MO}$
$\therefore MO=8.8$
BO = MO – MB = 8.8 – 2.2 = 6.6
Hence, the correct answer is 6.6.

Correct Answer: Basketball in 2020

Solution : In 2018,
Basketball: 46 + 34 = 80
Football: 42 + 37 = 79
Cricket: 45 + 35 = 80
In 2019,
Basketball: 40 + 41 = 81
Football: 44 + 38 = 82
Cricket: 42 + 32 = 74
In 2020,
Basketball: 43 + 40 = 83
Football: 40 + 32 = 72
Cricket: 44 + 38 = 82
In 2021,
Basketball: 37 + 44 = 81
Football: 43 + 25 = 68
Cricket: 34 + 28 = 62
In 2022,
Basketball: 34 + 41 = 75
Football: 41 + 32 = 73
Cricket: 41 + 39 = 80
It can be seen that in the year 2020, Basketball has the maximum enrollment.
Hence, the correct answer is Basketball in 2020.
