Question : Wings of birds are:
Option 1: modified hind limbs
Option 2: new structure
Option 3: integumentary outgrowth
Option 4: modified forelimbs
Correct Answer: modified forelimbs
Solution : The correct option is modified forelimbs.
The wings of birds are modified forelimbs. This modification is a result of evolution, where over time, the forelimbs of certain dinosaurs, the ancestors of birds, evolved into wings to facilitate flight. This evolutionary process is an
Question : If $\frac{1}{\operatorname{cosec} \theta+1}+\frac{1}{\operatorname{cosec} \theta-1}=2 \sec \theta, 0^{\circ}<\theta<90^{\circ}$, then the value of $\frac{\tan \theta+2 \sec \theta}{\operatorname{cosec} \theta}$ is:
Option 1: $\frac{4+\sqrt{2}}{2}$
Option 2: $\frac{2+\sqrt{3}}{2}$
Option 3: $\frac{4+\sqrt{3}}{2}$
Option 4: $\frac{2+\sqrt{2}}{2}$
Correct Answer: $\frac{4+\sqrt{2}}{2}$
Solution : Given: $\frac{1}{\operatorname{cosec} \theta+1}+\frac{1}{\operatorname{cosec} \theta-1}=2 \sec \theta$ ⇒ $\frac{\operatorname{cosec} \theta - 1 + \operatorname{cosec} \theta + 1}{\operatorname{cosec}^2 \theta - 1} = 2 \sec \theta$ ⇒ $\frac{2 \operatorname{cosec} \theta}{\operatorname{cosec}^2 \theta - 1} = 2 \sec \theta$ ⇒ $\operatorname{cosec} \theta = \sec \theta (\operatorname{cosec}^2 \theta - 1)$ We
Question : How many Members of Parliament were elected from Punjab to the 17th Lok Sabha?
Option 1: 14

Question : Directions: In the question, a part of the sentence is in bold. Below are given alternatives to the bold part at 1, 2 and 3 that may improve the sentence. Choose the correct alternative. In case no improvement is needed, your answer is (4).
The moment the manager came to know of the fraudulent action of his assistant, he order immediately dismissed him.
(1) order immediate dismissed him.
(2) ordered his immediate dismissal
(3) immediately order dismissal of his
(4) No Improvement
Option 1: 1
Option 2: 2
Option 3: 3
Option 4: 4
Correct Answer: 2
Solution : The correct answer is the second option.
"Order immediately dismissed him" should be replaced with "ordered his immediate dismissal" to convey the intended meaning that as soon as the manager became aware of his assistant's fraudulent action, he promptly ordered his dismissal.
Therefore, the correct
Question : Which is the largest two-digit prime number?
Option 1: 91
Option 2: 93
Option 3: 97
Option 4: 99
Correct Answer: 97
Solution : 97 is the largest two-digit prime number. Its only two factors are 1 and 97 itself. Hence, the correct answer is 97.
Question : Directions: In a certain code language, ROBOT is written as BOTOR, and BRING is written as INGRB. How will PANTS be written in that language?
Option 1: STNAP
Option 2: NAPTS
Option 3: NTSAP
Option 4: NTSPA
Correct Answer: NTSAP
Solution : Given: ROBOT is written as BOTOR and BRING is written as INGRB.
Shuffle the position of the letters of the words ROBOT and BRING to get the required codes.
So, ROBOT is written as BOTOR.
So, BRING is written as INGRB. Similarly, follow the same
Question : Directions: Two different positions of the same dice are shown, the six faces of which are numbered from 1 to 6. Select the number that will be on the face opposite to the one showing 5.
Option 2: 3
Option 3: 4
Option 4: 2
Solution : According to the dice rule, if two or three positions of the same dice are given with two common faces but in different orientations, then out of those two common faces the faces that are not common are opposite to each other. While considering Figures
Question : If $\triangle ABC$ is right-angled at B, AB = 30 units and $\angle ACB=60°$, what is the value of AC?
Option 1: $20$ units
Option 2: $20\sqrt3$ units
Option 3: $40$ units
Option 4: $60$ units
Correct Answer: $20\sqrt3$ units
Solution : $\triangle ABC$ is right-angled at B. $\sin\theta$ = $\frac{\text{Perpendicular}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}$ ⇒ $\sin 60°$ = $\frac{AB}{AC}$ ⇒ $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} = \frac{30}{AC}$ ⇒ AC = $\frac{60}{\sqrt{3}}$ $\therefore$ AC = $20\sqrt{3}$ units Hence, the correct answer is $20\sqrt{3}$ units.
Question : Directions: Six students P, Q, R, S, T, and U are sitting around a circular table facing the centre. R is an immediate neighbour of both T and U. P is sitting third to the right of U. Q is sitting to the immediate left of S. S is sitting second to the right of P. Who is the immediate neighbour of both R and S?
Option 1: T
Option 2: Q
Option 3: U
Option 4: P
Correct Answer: U
Solution : Given: (I) P is sitting third to the right of U. S is sitting second to the right of P.
(II) R is an immediate neighbour of both T and U. Q is sitting to the immediate left of S.
So, U is the immediate
Question : The ability to distinguish two closely placed objects is:
Option 1: Resolving power
Option 2: Video power
Option 3: Distinguish power
Option 4: Magnifying power
Correct Answer: Resolving power
Solution : The correct option is resolving power.
The ability of an optical system, such as a telescope or microscope, to recognise two objects far off as distinct and separate objects is referred to as resolving power. It assesses the system's capacity to deliver precise, in-depth
