Correct Answer: catabolism

Solution : The correct option is catabolism

The process of breaking down complex organic molecules into simpler ones, often associated with the release of energy, is called "catabolism." Decomposition is a specific form of catabolism, where organic matter, such as detritus, is broken down by microorganisms into simpler inorganic substances. Catabolic processes are essential for energy release and the recycling of nutrients in biological systems.

Correct Answer:

Also, some girls can be professionals and some professionals can also be girls. So, their circles will overlap each other and share a common area.
Therefore, the Venn diagram is as follows –

Hence, the third option is correct.

Correct Answer: 96

Solution : Given:
6 : 32 :: 10 : ? :: 11 : 117

Square the number given in the first term and then subtract 4 from the resultant number, to obtain the required missing term –
Like, 6 : 32→6² – 4 = 36 – 4 = 32
And, 11 : 117→11² – 4 = 121 – 4 = 117
Similarly, follow the same pattern for 10 : ?→
10² – 4 = 100 – 4 = 96

So, 96 is the required missing number. Hence, the fourth option is correct.

Correct Answer: $2$

Solution : Given: $a^2+b^2=2$ and $c^2+d^2=1$
$(ad-bc)^2+(ac+bd)^2$
$= (ad)^2+(bc)^2-2abcd+(ac)^2+(bd)^2+2abcd$
$=d^2(a^2+b^2)+c^2(a^2+b^2)$
$=(a^2+b^2)(c^2+d^2)$
$=2 \times 1$
$=2$
Hence, the correct answer is 2.

Correct Answer: Dayal

Solution : Given:
(I) Six students Shree, Dayal, Sharda, Tripti, Shrishti and Manju are sitting around a circular table facing the centre. Shree is an immediate neighbour of both Dayal and Tripti.

(II) Manju is sitting second to the right of Dayal. Shrishti is an immediate neighbour of both Manju and Tripti.

So, Manju and Dayal are immediate neighbours of Sharda. Hence, the first option is correct.

Correct Answer: 10,00,000 tonnes

Solution : According to the question,
Production of cement by company C in 2015 = 45 lakh tonnes
Production of cement by company B in 2018 = 55 lakh tonnes
Now the difference in both amounts = 55 lakh tonnes – 45 lakh tons = 10 lakh tonnes or 10,00,000 tonnes
Hence, the correct answer is 10,00,000 tonnes.

Correct Answer: Unambiguous

Solution : The correct choice is the third option.

Unequivocal means leaving no doubt or uncertainty. In this context, unambiguous is a suitable synonym because it also conveys the idea of being clear, definite, and without any ambiguity or confusion.

The meanings of the other words are:

• Articulate: Able to express thoughts and ideas clearly and effectively; well-spoken.
• Complete: Having all necessary or normal parts, components, or steps; entirely finished or whole.
• Doubted: To be uncertain about something; to consider something unlikely or question its validity or truth.

Therefore, the right answer is unambiguous.
