Question : Comprehension: Read the given passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.
As a society, we have come a long way in terms of progress and development. We have eradicated diseases, explored space, and created technological wonders that were once thought impossible. Yet, there is still one issue that continues to plague us: stupidity. Yes, stupidity. The thing that seems to be contagious and has been spreading faster than the common cold. It's everywhere you look - on social media, in politics, in the workplace. You can't escape it.
It's as if we've all collectively decided that intelligence and common sense are no longer important. Why bother using your brain when you can just rely on your gut feelings and conspiracy theories?
Take politics, for example. It used to be that politicians were expected to be knowledgeable and well-informed about the issues they were dealing with. Now, it seems that all you need is a catchy slogan and some empty promises to win an election.
And don't even get me started on social media. It's a breeding ground for stupidity. People will believe anything they read as long as it confirms their preconceived biases. And don't even think about trying to present them with facts and evidence. That's just a waste of time. But it's not just individuals who are to blame for this epidemic of stupidity. Our education system is failing us as well. We're teaching our kids how to pass tests instead of how to think critically and solve problems. It's no wonder we have a generation of adults who can't even find their way around a basic math problem.
Of course, some would argue that stupidity is just a different way of thinking. That it's a valid perspective that deserves to be respected. To those people, I say this: if you want to be stupid, go ahead. Just don't expect the rest of us to respect your opinions when they're based on nothing but ignorance and misinformation.
It's time for us to take a stand against stupidity. We need to start valuing intelligence and critical thinking again. We need to hold our leaders accountable for their actions and demand that they be knowledgeable and well-informed. We need to teach our children how to think, not just how to memorise.
It won't be easy, but it's a fight worth fighting. Because if we don't, we'll be stuck in a world where stupidity reigns supreme, and there's no telling what kind of damage that could do. So let's all do our part and start using our brains again. It's time to put an end to the epidemic of stupidity once and for all.

Question : If the perimeter of circle A is equal to the perimeter of semicircle B, what is the ratio of their areas?
Option 1: $\left (x+ 2\right)^{2} : 2\pi ^{2}$
Option 2: $2\pi ^{2} : \left ( x+2 \right)^{2}$

Question : The value of equipment depreciates by 20% each year. How much less will the value of the equipment be after 3 years?
Option 1: 48.8%
Option 2: 51.2%
Option 3: 54%
Option 4: 60%
Correct Answer: 48.8%
Solution : Assume the initial value as $P$ and calculate the depreciation value by using the formula $P(1-\frac{R}{100})^n$ where $R$ is the rate and $n$ is the time. So, the value after 3 years = $P(1-\frac{20}{100})^3$ = $P(1-\frac{1}{5})^3$ = $P(\frac{4}{5})^3$ = $P(0.8)^3$ = $0.512P$ So, the required
