Question : Directions: Select the Venn diagram that best illustrates the relationship between the following classes. Spectacles, Lens, Mirror
Option 1:
Option 2:
Option 3:
Option 4:
Correct Answer:
Solution : Based on the general information, the lens is used in the spectacles. So, the circle that represents the lens will lie inside the circle that represents spectacles. But, the mirror is not related to spectacles and lenses. So, the circle that represents the mirror will be drawn separately from the other two circles. Therefore, the Venn diagram is as follows –
Hence, the fourth option is correct.
Question : Out of 2500 people, only 60% have the saving habit. If 30% save with the bank, 32% with the post office, and the rest with shares, the number of shareholders is:
Option 1: 450
Option 2: 570
Option 3: 950
Option 4: 1250
Correct Answer: 570
Solution : Total number of people = 2500 People who have saving habit is 60% = $\frac{60}{100}$ × 2500 = 1500 People who saves with bank is 30% = $\frac{30}{100}$ × 1500 = 450 People who saves with post office is 32% = $\frac{32}{100}$ × 1500 = 480 Remaining people who save with share = 1500 – 450 – 480 = 570 Hence, the correct answer is 570.
Question : The price of motorcycles depreciates every year by 8%. If the value of the motorcycle after 2 years will be Rs. 84,640, then what is the present value (in Rs.) of the motorcycle?
Option 1: 90,000
Option 2: 1,02,000
Option 3: 1,10,000
Option 4: 1,00,000
Correct Answer: 1,00,000
Solution : Let the present value of the motorcycle be $x$. Value after 2 years $= x × (1-\frac{R}{100})^2$, where $R$ is the rate. So, $84640 = x × (1-\frac{8}{100})^2$ ⇒ $84640 = x × (\frac{23}{25})^2$ ⇒ $x =84640 \times \frac{25\times 25}{23 \times 23}$ $\therefore x= 1,00,000$ Present Value = Rs. 1,00,000 Hence, the correct answer is 1,00,000.
Question : Directions: Identify the number which when added to itself 14 times gives 195.
Option 1: 16
Option 2: 13
Option 3: 15
Option 4: 14
Correct Answer: 13
Solution : Given: The number which when added to itself 14 times gives 195.
Let the number be x According to the question – x + 14x = 195 15x = 195 x = 13
Therefore, the number is 13. Hence, the second option is correct.
Question : Directions: Seven people, A, B, C, D, E, F, and G, are sitting in a straight row, facing north. Only 2 people sit to the right of D. G is an immediate neighbour of D. Only 3 people sit between A and G. Only 2 people sit between B and C. E is not an immediate neighbour of C. F sits to the immediate right of G. Who sits to the immediate left of A?
Option 1: E
Option 2: C
Option 3: D
Option 4: B
Correct Answer: C
Solution : Given: (I) Only 2 people sit to the right of D. G is an immediate neighbour of D. Only 3 people sit between A and G. F sits to the immediate right of G.
(II) Only 2 people sit between B and C. E is not an immediate neighbour of C.
So, C sits to the immediate left of A. Hence, the second option is correct.
Question : Directions: Select the option that is related to the third letter cluster in the same way as the second letter cluster is related to the first letter cluster. BEST : WVHE :: CROP : ?
Option 1: SRVG
Option 2: SRUF
Option 3: RTUF
Option 4: PRUM
Correct Answer: SRUF
Solution : Given: BEST : WVHE :: CROP : ?
Follow the pattern to obtain the required code –
Thus, BEST is coded as WVHE. Similarly, follow the same pattern for CROP –
Thus, CROP is coded as SRUF. Hence, the second option is correct.
Question : What is the amount of insurance coverage available for accidental death under the Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima Yojana (PMSBY)?
Option 1: INR 2 lakh
Option 2: INR 3 lakh
Option 3: INR 1 lakh
Option 4: INR 4 lakh
Correct Answer: INR 2 lakh
Solution : The correct option is INR 2 lakh.
The amount of insurance coverage available for accidental death under the Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima Yojana (PMSBY) is INR 2 lakh. The PMSBY is a government-backed insurance scheme that provides accidental death and disability coverage at an affordable premium.
Question : What is the minimum over rate in a Test match?
Option 1: 10 overs/h
Option 2: 15 overs/h
Option 3: 12 overs/h
Option 4: 13 overs/h
Correct Answer: 15 overs/h
Solution : The correct option is 15 overs/h.
In Test cricket, the International Cricket Council (ICC) has set a minimum required over rate of 15 overs per hour. According to the ICC playing conditions, if a team fails to meet this required overrate, they may face penalties, including fines for the captain and potential suspension for repeat offences.
Question : If $a-\frac{1}{a}=4$, then the value of $a+\frac{1}{a}$ is:
Option 1: $5 \sqrt{5}$
Option 2: $4 \sqrt{5}$
Option 3: $2 \sqrt{5}$
Option 4: $3 \sqrt{5}$
Correct Answer: $2 \sqrt{5}$
Solution : Given: $a-\frac{1}{a}=4$ Squaring both sides, we get, ⇒ $a^2+\frac{1}{a^2}-2=16$ ⇒ $a^2+\frac{1}{a^2}=16+2$ ⇒ $a^2+\frac{1}{a^2}=18$ Adding 2 on both sides, we get, ⇒ $a^2+\frac{1}{a^2}+2=18+2$ ⇒ $(a+\frac{1}{a})^2=20$ $\therefore a+\frac{1}{a}=2\sqrt5$ Hence, the correct answer is $2\sqrt5$.
Question : If $\frac{\tan\theta +\cot\theta }{\tan\theta -\cot\theta }=2, (0\leq \theta \leq 90^{0})$, then the value of $\sin\theta$ is:
Option 1: $\frac{2}{\sqrt3}$
Option 2: $\frac{\sqrt3}{2}$
Option 3: $\frac{1}{2}$
Option 4: $1$
Correct Answer: $\frac{\sqrt3}{2}$
Solution : $\frac{\tan\theta +\cot\theta }{\tan\theta -\cot\theta }=2$ Use rule of componendo and dividendo i.e. If $\frac{a}{b}=\frac{c}{d}$ then, $\frac{a+b}{a-b}=\frac{c+d}{c-d}$. we have, ⇒ $\frac{\tan\theta +\cot\theta +\tan\theta -\cot\theta}{\tan\theta +\cot\theta -\tan\theta +\cot\theta}=\frac{2+1}{2-1}$ ⇒$\frac{2\tan\theta}{2\cot\theta} = 3$ ⇒ $\tan^2\theta=3$ ⇒ $\sin^2\theta= 3\cos^2\theta$ ⇒ $\sin^2\theta= 3(1-\sin^2\theta)$ ⇒ $4\sin^2\theta= 3$ ⇒ $\sin\theta=\frac{ \sqrt3 }{2}$ Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{ \sqrt3 }{2}$.
