Question : $\left (0.\overline{11} + 0.\overline{22} \right) × 3$ is equal to:
Option 1: $3$
Option 2: $1.\overline{9}$
Option 3: $1$
Option 4: $0.\overline{3}$
Correct Answer: $1$
Solution : Given: $\left (0.\overline{11} + 0.\overline{22} \right )\times3$ The fraction form of $0.\overline{11} = \frac{11}{99} = \frac{1}{9}$ The fraction form of $0.\overline{22} = \frac{22}{99} = \frac{2}{9}$ $\left ( 0.\overline{11}+0.\overline{22} \right )\times3 = \left (\frac{1}{9} + \frac{2}{9} \right) \times3 = \frac{1}{3}\times 3 = 1$ Hence, the correct answer is $1$.
Question : Directions: Select the option that is related to the third word in the same way as the second word is related to the first word. (The words must be considered meaningful words and must not be related to each other based on the number of letters/number of consonants/vowels in the word.) Butterfly : Caterpillar :: Insect : ?
Option 1: Cygnet
Option 2: Nymph
Option 3: Larva
Option 4: Microbes
Correct Answer: Larva
Solution : Given: Butterfly : Caterpillar :: Insect : ?
The second term is the initial phase of the first term – Like in, Butterfly : Caterpillar→The caterpillar is the initial evolving phase of a butterfly. Similarly, follow the same pattern for Insect : ?→The larva is the initial evolving phase of an insect.
So, the larva is related to the insect in the same way as the caterpillar is related to the butterfly. Hence, the third option is correct.

Option 1: 4
Option 2: 3
Option 3: 2
Option 4: 6
Correct Answer: 4
Solution : In Figure 1 and Figure 3, two faces 3 and 6 are common. So, the remaining numbers on the dice are 2 and 1. So, 2 and 1 are the opposite faces of each other in the given dice.

Question : Directions: A series is given below with one term missing. Choose the correct alternative from the given ones that will complete the series. BD, CE, DF, EG, ?
Option 1: FG
Option 2: DH
Option 3: FH
Option 4: EH

So, FH is the missing term in the series. Hence, the third option is correct.
