Correct Answer: Blue line - badminton

Solution : The correct answer is the Blue line - badminton.

The division of the attacking, defensive, and neutral zones into three sections is shown by the blue line on an ice hockey rink. The two blue lines, which serve as the boundaries of each zone, are positioned 25 feet apart on either side of the centerline.

Correct Answer: $30 \, \text{cm}^2$

Solution : The triangle with sides 12 cm, 13 cm, and 5 cm is a right-angled triangle (since $12^2 + 5^2 = 13^2$).
The area of a right-angled triangle = $\frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height}$.
Here, the base and height are the two shorter sides of the triangle.
The area of the triangle = $\frac{1}{2} \times 12 \, \text{cm} \times 5 \, \text{cm} = 30 \, \text{cm}^2$.
Hence, the correct answer is $30 \, \text{cm}^2$.

Correct Answer: 40 m, North

Solution : Firstly, we will draw the diagram as per the given instructions –

Here, A is the starting point (Railway station) and F is the endpoint (Bus stand).
The distance between the railway station and the bus stand is AF.
AF = DE – BC = 140 – 100 = 40

So, the Bus stand is 40 m north of the railway station. Hence, the fourth option is correct.

Correct Answer: 3

Solution : Given:
Total number of people = 15
Number of persons who read Spanish = 8
Number of persons who read German = 7
Number of persons who read neither German nor Spanish = 3

⇒ Total number of people = Number of people who read German + Number of people who read Spanish – Number of people who read both + Number of people who read neither German nor Spanish
⇒ 15 = 7 + 8 – Number of people who read both + 3
⇒ Number of people who read both = 7 + 8 – 15 + 3
⇒ Number of people who read both = 18 – 15
⇒ Number of people who read both = 3

So, only 3 persons read both German and Spanish. Hence, the third option is correct.

Correct Answer: Ordinary

Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.

Uncanny typically means strange, mysterious, or unsettling in a way that is beyond the ordinary or what is expected. It often implies a sense of eeriness or the supernatural. Ordinary is the most fitting antonym for uncanny. It signifies something commonplace, usual, or expected, contrasting with the mysterious or unsettling nature of uncanny.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

• Queer describes something as unusual or unconventional.
• Unduly means excessively or inappropriately.
• Saintly means virtuous or resembling a saint in character.

Correct Answer: Cfb

Solution : The correct option is Cfb.

The climate classification Cfb refers to a specific subtype of the Köppen climate classification system. The "C" represents temperate climates, the "f" stands for a fully humid climate, and the "b" indicates that the area experiences warm summers. Cfb climates typically have cool winters and no dry season. The annual temperature range is relatively narrow, and there is a relatively high amount of precipitation spread evenly throughout the year.

Correct Answer: QGUWNYA

Solution : Given:
INSPIRE : JPVTNXL

In the first term consecutive natural numbers starting from 1 are added in the positional value of the alphabet to obtain the second term.
INSPIRE→I + 1; N + 2; S + 3; P + 4; I + 5; R + 6; E + 7 = JPVTNXL
Similarly, PERSIST→P + 1; E + 2; R + 3; S + 4; I + 5; S + 6; T + 7 = QGUWNYA

So, the fourth term is QGUWNYA. Hence, the fourth option is correct.

Correct Answer: (1)

Solution : The error is in the first part of the sentence.

How to solve the problem will replace how to solve the problems because a definite article the is generally not used before plural uncountable or countable nouns unless we talk about something specific.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "How to solve the problem is the main concern of the organisers at the moment."

Correct Answer: depict

Solution : The second option is correct.

The word depict means to represent or show something in a picture or a painting. In the context of the passage, it is saying that the scenes on the walls of the Lascaux cave complex include images of birds and, most noticeably, horses.

Therefore, the correct answer is, depict.
