Question : Directions: In the following question, some parts of the sentence may have errors. Find out which part of the sentence has an error and select the appropriate option. If the sentence is free from error, select "No Error".
Myself and Roshni (1) / will take care of (2) / the event on Sunday (3) / No Error (4)
Option 1: (1)
Option 2: (2)
Option 3: (3)
Option 4: (4)
Correct Answer: (1)
Solution : The correct answer is the first option.
"Myself" should be replaced with the subject pronoun "I". Myself, a reflexive pronoun is used when the subject and the object of the action are the same person which is not the case here, and thus replaced with the correct subject pronoun ''I''.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: "Roshni and I will take care of the event on Sunday."
Question : Which among the following is not a characteristic of transition metals?
Option 1: Tendency to gain electrons
Option 2: Low electronegativity
Option 3: Low ionization energy
Option 4: Malleablity
Correct Answer: Tendency to gain electrons
Solution : The correct option is Tendency to gain electron
Because of their distinct electrical structure, transition metals do not have a strong tendency to gain electrons when compared to other elements. Transition metals have partially full d orbitals in their outermost electron shells, increasing the likelihood that they may lose electrons and produce positive ions (cations) to achieve a stable electron configuration.
Question : Directions: Select the correct mirror image of the given figure when the mirror is placed at MN as shown below.
Option 1:
Option 2:
Option 3:
Option 4:
Correct Answer:
Solution : As per the mirror image properties, closer things appear closer to the mirror in the reflection. Here, according to the information provided, the mirror is placed on the right side of the figure (on line MN). So, the left side of the reflected image will appear as the right side, and the right side will appear as the left side. However, the top and bottom of the reflected image will remain the same.
Thus, the correct mirror image of the given figure will be –
Hence, the first option is correct.
Question : Which of the following colloids is an example of foam?
Option 1: Sponge
Option 2: Butter
Option 3: Cheese
Option 4: Mist
Correct Answer: Sponge
Solution : The correct option is Sponge.
One kind of colloid that is an example of foam is a sponge. Foam refers to the dispersion of gas bubbles in a liquid or solid medium, while colloids are materials that have uniformly distributed particles within them. Their colloidal nature allows them to hold and release large amounts of liquid. A sponge is an example of a foam in a colloidal system because it forms a structure resembling foam inside its pores as it absorbs water.
Question : Directions: Read the given statements and conclusions carefully. You have to take the given statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance from commonly known facts. You have to decide which conclusions logically follow/s from the given statements. Statements: (I) All tankers are ships. (II) Some ships are rockets. (III) Some tankers are guns. Conclusions: (I) Some guns are ships. (II) Some tankers are rockets.
Option 1: Neither conclusion (I) nor (II) is true
Option 2: Only conclusion (II) is true
Option 3: Both conclusions (I) and (II) are true
Option 4: Only conclusion (I) is true
Correct Answer: Only conclusion (I) is true
Solution : The possible Venn diagram for the according to the given statements –
Let's analyse the conclusions – Conclusion (I): Some guns are ships – According to the Venn diagram, some part of the circle representing guns intersects the circle representing ships. So, this conclusion follows. Conclusion (II): Some tankers are rockets – According to the Venn diagram, we can see that there is no definite relation between tankers and rockets. So, this conclusion does not follow.
So, only the conclusion I is true. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
Question : The number of patients in four different categories in three hospitals A, B, and C is given below. The total number of patients in three hospitals A, B, and C respectively, are:
Option 1: 12, 14, and 12
Option 2: 12, 12, and 14
Option 3: 14, 12, and 12
Option 4: 14, 13, and 12
Correct Answer: 14, 12, and 12
Solution : Patients in hospital A in all categories = 5 + 3 + 2 + 4 = 14 Patients in hospital B in all categories = 3 + 2 + 5 + 2 = 12 Patients in hospital C in all categories = 5 + 3 + 2 + 2 = 12 Hence, the correct answer is 14, 12, and 12.
Question : Directions: Select the option in which the numbers share the same relationship in the set as that shared by the numbers in the given 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.) (12, 144, 1728) (6, 36, 216)
Option 1: (11, 121, 1000)
Option 2: (14, 196, 2197)
Option 3: (10, 100, 1000)
Option 4: (8, 64, 729)
Correct Answer: (10, 100, 1000)
Solution : Given: (12, 144, 1728); (6, 36, 216)
Here, (12, 144, 1728)→(12)2 = 144; (12)3 = 1728 (6, 36, 216)→(6)2 = 36; (6)3 = 216
Let's check each option – First option: (11, 121, 1000)→(11)2 = 121; (11)3 = 1331 ≠ 1000 Second option: (14, 196, 2197)→(14)2 = 196; (14)3 = 2744 ≠ 2197 Third option: (10, 100, 1000)→(10)2 = 100; (10)3 = 1000 Fourth option: (8, 64, 729)→(8)2 = 64; (8)3 = 512 ≠ 729
So, only the third option follows the same pattern as followed by the given set of numbers. Hence, the third option is correct.
Question : What is the name of the indigenously developed special aviation fuel by the Indian Oil Corporation in September 2022?
Option 1: LNG 30
Option 2: CNG 101
Option 3: AVGAS 100 LL
Option 4: ATF NEW 50
Correct Answer: AVGAS 100 LL
Solution : The correct option is AVGAS 100 LL.
The Indian Oil Corporation has domestically engineered AVGAS 100 LL for application in piston engine aircraft and unmanned aerial vehicles. Specifically designed to fuel aircraft equipped with spark-ignition piston engines, where combustion is initiated by a spark plug, this locally developed aviation gasoline is tinted blue and boasts a high octane number.
