Question : Directions: Select the option figure that is embedded in the given figure as its part (rotation is NOT allowed).
Option 1:
Option 2:
Option 3:
Option 4:
Correct Answer:
Solution : Since there is a restriction on the rotation of the figure, we will check which of the option figures can exactly fit in the given question figure. By comparison of all the option figures, only the second option figure is embedded in the given question figure.
Hence, the second option is correct.
Question : Directions: Which answer figure will combine the pattern in the question figure?

Question : The percentage marks obtained by 6 students in different subjects are given below. The maximum marks for each subject have been indicated in the table.
What are the average marks obtained by all students in Geography?
Option 1: 65.5
Option 2: 73.8
Option 3: 60.5
Option 4: 58.2
Correct Answer: 60.5
Solution : According to the question, Marks of P in geography = 88% of 75 = 0.88 × 75 = 66 marks Marks of Q in geography = 92% of 75 = 0.92 × 75 = 69 marks Marks of R in geography = 64% of 75 = 0.64 × 75 = 48 marks Marks of S in geography = 80% of 75 = 0.80 × 75 = 60 marks Marks of T in geography = 88% of 75 = 0.88 × 75 = 66 marks Marks of U in geography = 72% of 75 = 0.72 × 75 = 54 marks Total marks obtained by all students in Geography = 66 + 69 + 48 + 60 + 66 + 54 = 363 Average marks obtained by students in Geography = $\frac{363}{6}$ = 60.5 Hence, the correct answer is 60.5.

Option 1: Neon
Option 2: Sodium
Option 3: Silicon
Option 4: Potassium
Correct Answer: Neon
Solution : The correct answer is Neon.
In the modern periodic table, elements are arranged according to their atomic number. Hence, Neon comes first among the given elements, with atomic number 10 (symbol Ne). Sodium has an atomic number 11 (symbol Na), and silicon has an atomic number 14 (symbol Si). Potassium has atomic number 19 and is represented by the symbol K.
Question : Directions: Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as the numbers of the given sets. (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.) (13, 14, 54) (15, 18, 66)
Option 1: (11, 13, 52)
Option 2: (15, 17, 66)
Option 3: (13, 19, 64)
Option 4: (12, 34, 90)
Correct Answer: (13, 19, 64)
Solution : Given: (13, 14, 54); (15, 18, 66)
Like, (13, 14, 54)→(13 + 14) × 2 = 27 × 2 = 54 (15, 18, 66)→(15 + 18) × 2 = 33 × 2 = 66
Let's check the options – First option: (11, 13, 52)→(11 + 13) × 2 = 24 × 2 = 48 ≠ 52 Second option: (15, 17, 66)→(15 + 17) × 2 = 32 × 2 = 64 ≠ 66 Third option: (13, 19, 64)→(13 + 19) × 2 = 32 × 2 = 64 Fourth option: (12, 34, 90)→(12 + 34) × 2 = 46 × 2 = 92 ≠ 90
So, only the third option follows the same pattern as followed by the given set of numbers. Hence, the third option is correct.

Question : Arbind has 650 kg of wheat. A part of which he sells at 9% profit and the rest at 19% profit to get 15% profit on the whole. What is the quantity (in kg) of wheat sold by Arbind at 9% profit?
Option 1: 260
Option 2: 195
Option 3: 455
Option 4: 390
Correct Answer: 260
Solution : Let the quantity of wheat Arbind sells at 9% profit be $\text{x}$ kg. The remaining quantity he sells at 19% profit is = $650 - \text{x}$ kg The profit obtained from selling the first part at 9% profit is = $0.09\text{x}$ kg The profit obtained from selling the second part at 19% profit is = $0.19(650 - \text{x})$ kg According to the question, $0.09\text{x} + 0.19(650 - \text{x}) = 0.15 \times 650$ $⇒0.09\text{x} + 0.19 \times 650 - 0.19\text{x} = 97.5$ $⇒-0.1\text{x} + 123.5 = 97.5$ $⇒-0.1\text{x} = -26$ $\therefore \text{x} = 260$ Hence the correct answer is 260 kg.
