Question : Four numbers are in the ratio 1 : 2 : 3 : 5. Two times their sum is 44. Find the ratio in the numbers obtained by subtracting 3 from the cube of each number
Option 1: 2 : 31 : 204 : 999
Option 2: 3 : 13 : 208 : 992
Option 3: 11 : 67 : 219 : 1003
Option 4: 5 : 61 : 213 : 997
Correct Answer: 5 : 61 : 213 : 997
Solution : Let the numbers be $x$, $2x$, $3x$ and $5x$ respectively. According to the question, $⇒ 2(x + 2x + 3x + 5x) = 44$ $⇒ 11x = \frac{44}{2}$ $⇒ x = \frac{22}{11} = 2$ So, the numbers are 2, 4, 6 and 10 respectively. Cube of the numbers are 8, 64, 216, and 1000 Subtracting 3 from each term to get the required ratio$= 5 : 61 : 213 : 997$ Hence, the correct answer is 5 : 61 : 213 : 997.
Question : Select the most appropriate ANTONYM of the given word. Redemption
Option 1: Salvation
Option 2: Blasphemy
Option 3: Corrugation
Option 4: Conjunction

The meanings of the other words are as follows:
Therefore, the correct answer is blasphemy.
Question : If $\cot \theta=\frac{4}{3}, 0<\theta<\frac{\pi}{2}$, and $5 p \cos ^2 \theta \sin \theta=\cot ^2 \theta$, then the value of $p$ is:
Option 1: $\frac{7}{27}$
Option 2: $\frac{125}{27}$
Option 3: $\frac{5}{27}$
Option 4: $\frac{25}{27}$
Correct Answer: $\frac{25}{27}$
Solution : Here, $\cot \theta = \frac{\text {Base}} {\text{Perpendicular}}$ Let Base = 4 units and Perpendicular = 3 units Now, Using the Pythagoras theorem, $H^2 = P^2 + B^2$ ⇒ $H = \sqrt{(P2 + B2)}$ ⇒ $H = \sqrt{(32 + 42)}$ ⇒ $H = \sqrt{(9 + 16)}$ ⇒ $H = \sqrt{(25)}$ ⇒ H = 5 So, $\cos \theta = \frac{4}{5}$ and $\sin \theta = \frac{3}{5}$ Now, $5 p \cos ^2 \theta \sin \theta=\cot ^2 \theta$ ⇒ $5p (\frac{4}{5})^2\frac{3}{5} = (\frac{4}{3})^2$ ⇒ $5p (\frac{16}{25})(\frac{3}{5}) = (\frac{16}{9})$ ⇒ $p (\frac{3}{25})= (\frac{1}{9})$ ⇒ $p = (\frac{1}{9})(\frac{25}{3})$ ⇒ $p = (\frac{25}{27})$ Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{25}{27}$.
Question : At the location of which city in Assam, the River Brahmaputra goes south breaking, away from its westward course and entering Bangladesh?
Option 1: Bongaigaon
Option 2: Tezpur
Option 3: Dhubri
Option 4: Barpeta
Correct Answer: Dhubri
Solution : The correct answer is Dhubri.
The Brahmaputra River runs west till it reaches Dhubri, Assam. From there, it divides south in the Garo highlands and flows close to Golpara, Bangladesh. It flows past Chilmari, Bangladesh, joins the Tista River on its right bank and continues straight south for 240 km (150 mi) as the Jamuna River.
Question : Directions: From the given options, which answer figure can be formed by folding the figure given in the question figure?
Option 1:
Option 2:
Option 3:
Option 4:
Correct Answer:
Solution : In the 3D view of dice, 1. Each face out of the three faces in the 3D view should be from all the pairs. 2. Two opposite faces cannot appear adjacently in the 3D view of a folded cube figure. So, the opposite pairs of faces are as follows –
Thus,
is possible and will be formed by folding the dice. Hence, the third option is correct.
Question : Directions: In the following question, choose the correct alternative that will improve the part of the sentence given in quotes.
The conference "will been a" celebration of women's achievements.
Option 1: 1
Option 2: 2
Option 3: 3
Option 4: 4
Correct Answer: 3
Solution : The correct choice is the third option.
Explanation: Here, will be a is the correct choice to convey that the conference is a celebration of women's achievements in the future. Will be a is the future tense of the verb to be followed by the indefinite article a, since the celebration starts with a consonant sound. The simple future tense is used for the action that will happen in the future.
Other options are as follows:
Therefore, the correct sentence would be: "The conference will be a celebration of women's achievements."
Question : Directions: From the given answer figures, select the one in which the question figure is hidden/embedded.
Solution : Because there is no restriction on the rotation of the figure, we will check all the possible angles where the question figure can fit itself in the given option figures. By comparison of all the option figures, the given question figure is embedded only in the third option figure.
Hence, the third option is correct.
Question : ______ solids are formed by the three-dimensional arrangements of cations and anions bound by strong coulombic (electrostatic) forces.
Option 1: Metallic
Option 2: Covalent
Option 3: Ionic
Option 4: Molecular
Correct Answer: Ionic
Solution : The correct answer is Ionic.
The interaction that takes place in ionic compounds is called ionic bonding, which is a kind of chemical bonding that involves the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions or between two atoms with dramatically differing Electronegativity.
Question : The average mark obtained by 180 students in an examination is 50. If the average mark of passed students is 80 and that of the failed students is 40, then what is the number of students who failed the examination?
Option 1: 90
Option 2: 135
Option 3: 100
Option 4: 45
Correct Answer: 135
Solution : Let the number of failed students be $x$. Total marks obtained = 180 × 50 = 9000 According to the question, 40$x$ + (180 – $x$) × 80 = 9000 ⇒ 40$x$ + 14400 – 80$x$ = 9000 ⇒ 40$x$ = 5400 ⇒ $x$ = 135 Hence, the correct answer is 135.
