Question : Directions: In the following question, you have to identify the correct response from the given premises stated according to the following symbols. If + stands for division, ÷ stands for multiplication, × stands for subtraction, and –stands for addition, then which of the following expressions is correct?
Option 1: 18 × 6 + 7 ÷ 5 – 2 = 16
Option 2: 18 ÷ 6 × 7 + 5 – 2 = 22
Option 3: 18 ÷ 6 – 7 + 5 × 2 = 20
Option 4: 18 + 6 ÷ 7 × 5 – 2 = 18
Correct Answer: 18 + 6 ÷ 7 × 5 – 2 = 18

Replace the mathematical signs and solve the equations. Let's check the given options – First option: 18 ×
Question : Study the given table and answer the question that follows.
The average number of children per family is :
Option 1: 1.47
Option 2: 1.59
Option 3: 1.23
Option 4: 1.72
Correct Answer: 1.59
Solution : Average number of children per family $=\frac{\sum{\text{Number of children}\times\text{Number of families}}}{\sum{\text{Total number of families}}}$ $=\frac{0\times4+1\times22+2\times15+3\times6+4\times2}{4+22+15+6+2}$ $=\frac{22+30+18+8}{49}$ $=\frac{78}{49}$ $=1.59$ Hence, the correct answer is 1.59.
Question : Directions: In the following question, select the one that is different from the other three alternatives.
Option 1: (25, 49)
Option 2: (121, 169)
Option 3: (7, 169)
Option 4: (9, 25)
Correct Answer: (7, 169)
Solution : Let's check the given options – First option: (25, 49); 25 = 52 and 49 = 72 Second option: (121, 169); 121 = 112 and 169 = 132 Third option: (7, 169); 169 = 7 is not a perfect square
Question : One side of a rhombus is 13 cm and one of its diagonals is 24 cm. What is the area (in cm2) of the rhombus?
Option 1: 120
Option 2: 90
Option 3: 30
Option 4: 60
Correct Answer: 120
Solution : Side of the rhombus = 13 cm One of the diagonals = 24 cm $side^2 = (\frac{d_1}{2})^2+(\frac{d_2}{2})^2$ ⇒ $13^2=(\frac{24}{2})^2+(\frac{d_2}{2})^2$ ⇒ $169=144+(\frac{d_2}{2})^2$ ⇒ $(\frac{d_2}{2})^2=25$ ⇒ $\frac{d_2}{2}=5$ ⇒ $d_2=10$ Area of a rhombus = $\frac{d_1 × d_2}{2}$ = $\frac{24\times10}{2}$ = $120\ cm^2$ Hence, the correct answer Is
Question : The difference between a farmer’s output over and above his on-farm consumption is known as __________.
Option 1: consumer surplus
Option 2: marketable surplus
Option 3: foreign consumption
Option 4: domestic consumption
Correct Answer: marketable surplus
Solution : The correct option is a marketable surplus
The difference between a farmer's total agricultural output and the portion of that output consumed on the farm is known as the marketable surplus or net farm income. This surplus represents the quantity of agricultural products that
Question : The ratio of the speeds of Aman, Kamal, and Manan is $4:5:6$, respectively. What is the ratio of the time taken by Aman, Kamal, and Manan, respectively, to cover the same distance?
Option 1: $10:12:15$
Option 2: $6:5:4$
Option 3: $4:5:6$
Option 4: $15:12:10$
Correct Answer: $15:12:10$
Solution : Required ratio = $(\frac{1}{4}):(\frac{1}{5}):(\frac{1}{6})$ = $(\frac{1}{4}×60):(\frac{1}{5}×60):(\frac{1}{6}×60)$ [Multiplying each fraction by LCM of (4, 5 and 6) i.e., 60] = $15:12:10$ Hence, the correct answer is $15:12:10$.
Question : When was Awadh annexed by Lord Dalhousie?
Option 1: 1857
Option 2: 1855
Option 3: 1858
Option 4: 1856
Correct Answer: 1856
Solution : The correct option is 1856.
Awadh, also known as Oudh, was annexed by Lord Dalhousie, the Governor-General of India, in 1856. The annexation took place under the Doctrine of Lapse, a policy introduced by Lord Dalhousie that allowed the British East India Company to annex
Question : What is $(0.08 \% \text { of } 0.008 \% \text { of } 8)^{\frac1 9} ?$
Option 1: 0.2
Option 2: 0.08
Option 3: 0.8
Option 4: 0.64
Correct Answer: 0.2
Solution : $(0.08 \% \text { of } 0.008 \% \text { of } 8)^{\frac{1}{9}}$ $= (8 × \frac{0.008}{100} × \frac{0.08}{100})^{\frac{1}{9}}$ $= [\frac{8 × 8 × 8}{100 × 1000 × 100 × 100}]^{\frac{1}{9}}$ $= [(\frac{2}{10})^9]^{\frac{1}{9}}$ $=\frac{2}{10}$ $= 0.2$ Hence, the correct answer is 0.2.

Question : Two numbers are in the ratio 3 : 4. The product of their HCF and LCM is 2700. The sum of the numbers is:
Option 1: 60
Option 2: 105
Option 3: 15
Option 4: 45
Correct Answer: 105
Solution : Let the numbers be 3$x$ and 4$x$ Use: HCF × LCM = Product of the numbers According to the question ⇒ HCF(3$x$, 4$x$) × LCM(3$x$,4$x$) = 2700 Now, HCF(3$x$, 4$x$) = $x$ LCM(3$x$, 4$x$) = 12$x$ So, ⇒ $x× 12x = 2700$ ⇒ $12x^{2} =
