Question : Directions: From the given options, which answer figure can be formed by folding the figure given in the question?
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 –
(6 ⇔ 4), (3 ⇔ 1), and (5 ⇔ 2) are the opposite pairs of faces.
Thus,
is possible and will be formed by folding the dice. Hence, the second option is correct.
Question : Directions: In the following question, some parts of the sentence have errors, and some are correct. Find out which part of the sentence has an error. The number of that part is the answer. If a sentence is error-free, your answer is "no error."
The lions kill the animals and eat his meat.
(1) The lions
(2) and eat his meat
(3) kill the animals
(4) No error
Option 1: (1)
Option 2: (2)
Option 3: (3)
Option 4: (4)
Correct Answer: (2)
Solution : The error is in the second option: eat his meat.
The part "and eat his meat" contains an error. The possessive adjective "his" is used to indicate that something belongs to or relates to a male and is not used with the plural form of animals. Instead, the plural pronoun "their" is used in the correct context to match the plural noun "animals".
Therefore, the correct sentence should be "The lions kill the animals and eat their meat".

Question : Simplify: $5 \frac{1}{3}-\left\{4 \frac{1}{3}+\left(3 \frac{1}{3} \div \overline{2 \frac{1}{3}-\frac{1}{3}}\right)\right\}$
Option 1: $\frac{2}{3}$
Option 2: $\frac{1}{3}$
Option 3: $-\frac{1}{3}$
Option 4: $-\frac{2}{3}$
Correct Answer: $-\frac{2}{3}$
Solution : $5 \frac{1}{3}-\left\{4 \frac{1}{3}+\left(3 \frac{1}{3} \div \overline{2 \frac{1}{3}-\frac{1}{3}}\right)\right\}$ $=\frac{16}{3}-\left\{ \frac{13}{3}+\left( \frac{10}{3} \div \overline{\frac{7}{3}-\frac{1}{3}}\right)\right\}$ $=\frac{16}{3}-\left\{ \frac{13}{3}+\left( \frac{10}{3} \div 2\right)\right\}$ $=\frac{16}{3}-\left\{ \frac{13}{3}+( \frac{5}{3})\right\}$ $=-\frac{2}{3}$ Hence, the correct answer is $-\frac{2}{3}$.
Question : If $r$ is the remainder when each of 6454, 7306, and 8797 is divided by the greatest number $d(d>1)$, then $(d-r)$ is equal to:
Option 1: 126
Option 2: 64
Option 3: 137
Option 4: 149
Correct Answer: 149
Solution : If the remainder in each case is the same. 7306 – 6454 = 852 8797 – 7306 = 1491 8797 – 6454 = 2343 HCF of 852, 1491, and 2343:
HCF = 213 So, the greatest number, $d$ = 213 Remainder, $r$ = 64 $\therefore d - r$ = 213 – 64 = 149 Hence, the correct answer is 149.
Question : Directions: In a certain code language, CAGES is written as NADYB. How is WATER written in that code language?
Option 1: MAQYV
Option 2: SGWEB
Option 3: QCPVR
Option 4: VYQAM
Correct Answer: MAQYV
Solution : Given: CAGES is written as NADYB.
Subtract consecutive natural numbers from the place values of each letter of CAGES and then reverse them to get the required code – C – 1 = B; A – 2 = Y; G – 3 = D; E – 4 = A; S – 5 = N BYDAN→NADYB Thus, CAGES is coded as NADYB. Similarly, follow the same pattern for WATER – W – 1 = V; A – 2 = Y; T – 3 = Q; E – 4 = A; R – 5 = M VYQAM→MAQYV
Thus, WATER is coded as MAQYV. Hence, the first option is correct.
Question : Directions: In a certain code language, SPAM is coded as 36, and JUG is coded as 27. How will FROCK be coded in that language?
Option 1: 72
Option 2: 45
Option 3: 90
Option 4: 48
Correct Answer: 45
Solution : Given: SPAM is coded as 36, JUG is coded as 27.
Multiply the numbers of letters in the given word by 9 to obtain the required code. SPAM→Number of letters→4 = 4 × 9 = 36 JUG→Number of letters→3 = 3 × 9 = 27 Similarly, FROCK→Number of letters→5 = 5 × 9 = 45
So, FROCK is coded as 45. Hence, the second option is correct.
Question : Directions: In the question, a part of the sentence is in bold. Below are given alternatives to the bold part at (1), (2) and (3) that may improve the sentence. Choose the correct alternative. In case no improvement is needed, your answer is (4).
The workers should have been more meticulous.
(1) committed
(2) precise
(3) punctual
(4) No Improvement
Correct Answer: (1)
Solution : The correct choice is the first option.
Meticulous should be replaced with committed to convey the intended meaning. Committed means willing to work hard and give time and energy to something.
Meticulous means showing great attention to detail and being very careful and precise. Precise means careful and exact in details. Punctual means being on time. These options, while correct, are not as apt to be used in the context of the sentence as committed.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: The workers should have been more committed.
