Question : A car completed a journey of 400 km in $12\frac{1}{2}$ hours. The first $\frac{3}{4}$th of the journey was done at 30 km/hr. Calculate the speed for the rest of the journey.
Option 1: 45 km/hr
Option 2: 25 km/hr
Option 3: 40 km/hr
Option 4: 30 km/hr
Correct Answer: 40 km/hr
Solution : Total journey = 400 km Speed of the car for $\frac{3}{4}$th journey = 30 km/hr $\frac{3}{4}$th journey= $400\times(\frac{3}{4})$km = 300 km Remaining journey = 400 – 300 = 100 km Let the speed of the car for the rest of the journey be $x$
Question : Directions: If A denotes +, B denotes ×, C denotes –, and D denotes ÷, then what will be the value of the following equation? 96 D 3 B 8 C 25 A 14 = ?
Option 1: 217
Option 2: 234
Option 3: 254
Option 4: 245
Correct Answer: 245
Solution : Given: 96 D 3 B 8 C 25 A 14 = ?
After replacing the letters with the mathematical signs, we get – = 96 ÷ 3 × 8 – 25 + 14 = 32 × 8 – 25 + 14 = 256 – 25
Question : Directions: Three different positions of the same dice are shown. Find the number on the face opposite the face showing 4.

Question : Comprehension: Read the given passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.
As the world's population approaches 8 billion and resource use intensifies, pollution is becoming more extensive, pervasive, and persistent. It affects our health through the food we eat, the water we drink, and the air we breathe. By 2025, the world's cities will produce 2.2 billion metric tonnes of waste every year, more than three times the amount produced in 2009. That said, pollution is not a new phenomenon and is largely controllable and often avoidable, as shown in some countries and cities that have succeeded in decoupling economic growth from pollution and waste accumulation.
With the end goal of eradicating all forms of pollution by 2030, the UN Environment Programme was tasked by the UN Environment Assembly to coordinate the implementation of a global plan reiterating that pollution is not only an environmental priority, it's a priority for the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals.
Question: Which of the following represents the structure of the passage?
Option 1: Chronological
Option 2: Definition
Option 3: Compare and contrast
Option 4: Cause-effect
Correct Answer: Cause-effect
Solution : The correct answer is the fourth option.
The passage discusses how the world's population growth and intensifying resource use contribute to increasing pollution levels. It outlines the causes of pollution, such as population growth and resource use, and then describes the effects of pollution on
Question : Study the given graph and answer the question that follows. Total expenditure of the company in 2016, 2017 and 2018 is what percentage less than the total revenue in the given five years (correct to one decimal place)?
Option 1: 38.4%
Option 2: 36.8%
Option 3: 36.2%
Option 4: 34.5%
Correct Answer: 34.5%
Solution :
As per the given graph, The total expenditure in 2016, 2017 and 2018 = 350 + 275 + 325 = 950 The total revenue in five years = 200 + 250 + 320 + 300 + 380 = 1450 Required percentage = $\frac{(1450 - 950)}{1450}
Question : Three circles of equal radius '$a$' cm touch each other. The area of the shaded region is:
Option 1: $\left ( \frac{\sqrt{3}+\pi}{2} \right )a^{2}$ sq. cm
Option 2: $\left ( \frac{6\sqrt{3}-\pi }{2} \right )a^{2}$ sq. cm
Option 3: $\left ( \sqrt{3}-\pi \right )a^{2}$ sq. cm
Option 4: $\left ( \frac{2\sqrt{3}- \pi}{2} \right )a^{2}$ sq. cm
Correct Answer: $\left ( \frac{2\sqrt{3}- \pi}{2} \right )a^{2}$ sq. cm
Solution : The radius of all circles = $a$ cm Side length of triangle ABC = $2a$ cm Area of equilateral $\triangle ABC$ = $\frac{\sqrt3}{4}$ × side2 = $\frac{\sqrt3}{4}\times (2a)^2$ = $\sqrt3a^2$ Area of 3 sectors = $3\times \frac{60^\circ}{360^\circ}\times
