Correct Answer: 56

Solution : Let the fourth proportion be $d$.
$0.48: 0.84=32: d$
⇒ $\frac{0.48}{0.84}=\frac{32}{d}$
⇒ $\frac{4}{7}=\frac{32}{d}$
⇒ $d=7\times8$
$\therefore d=56$
Hence, the correct answer is 56.

Correct Answer: $2$

Solution : Given expression,
$\left(2 \cos ^2 \theta-1\right)\left[\frac{1+\tan \theta}{1-\tan \theta}+\frac{1-\tan \theta}{1+\tan \theta}\right]$
We know, $\tan\theta=\frac{\sin\theta}{\cos\theta}$
= $(2\cos^2\theta-(\sin^2\theta+\cos^2\theta))\left[\frac{1+\frac{\sin\theta}{\cos\theta}}{1-\frac{\sin\theta}{\cos\theta}}+\frac{1-\frac{\sin\theta}{\cos\theta}}{1+\frac{\sin\theta}{\cos\theta}}\right]$
= $(2\cos^2\theta-\sin^2\theta-\cos^2\theta))\left[\frac{\cos\theta+\sin\theta}{\cos\theta-\sin\theta}+\frac{\cos\theta-\sin\theta}{\cos\theta+\sin\theta}\right]$
= $(\cos^2\theta-\sin^2\theta)\left[\frac{(\cos\theta+\sin\theta)^2+(\cos\theta-\sin\theta)^2}{(\cos\theta-\sin\theta)(\cos\theta+\sin\theta)}\right]$
= $(\cos^2\theta-\sin^2\theta)\left[\frac{\cos^2\theta+\sin^2\theta+2\sin\theta\cos\theta+\cos^2\theta+\sin^2\theta-2\sin\theta\cos\theta}{\cos^2\theta-\sin^2\theta}\right]$
= $1+1$ [As $\cos^2\theta+\sin^2\theta=1$]
= $2$
Hence, the correct answer is $2$.

The pattern is as follows –

So, 358 is the required missing term in the series. Hence, the second option is correct.

Correct Answer: 35

Solution : Given:
+ means –, – means ÷, ÷ means × and × means +
15 × 30 + 15 – 3 ÷ 2 = ?

After replacing the symbols according to the question, the equation becomes –
= 15 + 30 – 15 ÷ 3

Correct Answer: No error

Correct Answer: QDFHS

Solution : Given:
MONKEY is XDJMNL.

Subtract 1 from the positional value of each letter according to the given pattern –

Thus, MONKEY is coded as XDJMNL.
Similarly, follow the same pattern for TIGER –

So, TIGER is coded as QDFHS. Hence, the first option is correct.

Correct Answer: To have one's own interests to serve

Solution : The correct choice is the second option.
