Correct Answer: before

Solution : The third option is the correct choice.

• Stood before refers to the act of standing while facing someone, which fits perfectly in the sentence.
• The option stood for means to support a cause, which is inappropriate in the context of the sentence. The options stood to and stood towards are wrong.

Therefore, the complete sentence is: "He stood before Ankita but could not utter a single word for quite some time."

Correct Answer: 9 km/hr

Solution : The speed of the boat in still water can be calculated using the speeds of the boat downstream and upstream.
$\text{Speed} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}$
The speed of the boat downstream (with the current) is the distance divided by the time, which is
$\frac{72 }{6 }$ = 12 km/hr
The speed of the boat upstream (against the current) is also the distance divided by the time, which is $\frac{72 }{12 }$ = 6 km/hr
The speed of the boat in still water is the average of the downstream and upstream speeds, which is $\frac{12 + 6 }{2}$ = 9 km/hr
Hence, the correct answer is 9 km/hr.

Correct Answer: 25

Solution : Given:
KITE is written as 9 and MAGIC is written as 11.

Multiply the total number of letters in the given word KITE by 2 and add 1 to the resultant number to obtain the required code –
The total number of letters in KITE is 4.
⇒ (4 × 2) + 1 = 8 + 1 = 9
Thus, KITE is coded as 9.
And, MAGIC is written as 11 –
The total number of letters in MAGIC is 5.
⇒ (5 × 2) + 1 = 10 + 1 = 11
Thus, MAGIC is coded as 11.
Similarly, follow the same pattern for FELICITATION –
The total number of letters in FELICITATION is 12.
⇒ (12 × 2) + 1 = 24 + 1 = 25

So, FELICITATION is coded as 25. Hence, the third option is correct.

Therefore, the correct statement would be: "Chandra's good gestures will be highly appreciated."

Therefore, the correct sentence is: They are standing at the gate of the auditorium as there is no room inside.
