Correct Answer: listens to

Solution : The error lies in the first option.

Explanation: The verb form "listens" is in the present tense, but the sentence structure with "Sh!" indicates a momentary action happening right now. To convey this, the present continuous tense "is listening" is more appropriate, indicating an ongoing action in the present moment.

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: Sh! Someone is listening to our conversation.

Correct Answer: No conclusion follows

Solution : The possible Venn diagram, according to the given statements is as follows–

Let's analyse the conclusions –
Conclusion I: Some mangoes are not raw – There is no direct or definite negative relation between mango and raw. So, this conclusion does not follow.
Conclusion II: Some red are not mangoes – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that some mangoes are not red but there is no negative relation of red with mangoes. Thus, the given conclusion cannot be drawn. So, this conclusion does not follow.
Conclusion III: All raw are red – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that some parts of the circle representing raw lie inside the circle representing red while some lie outside. So, this conclusion does not follow.

So, no conclusion follows. Hence, the fourth option is correct.

Correct Answer: 21

Solution : Given that the average salary of all the associates in a team is Rs. 16,000.
Let the total number of associates be $n$.
⇒ Sum of salary of all the associates = $16000n$
Now, The average salary of 7 senior associates is Rs. 24,000.
⇒ Sum of salary of 7 senior associates = 24,000 × 7 = 1,68,000
Also, the average salary of the rest is Rs. 12,000.
Remaining associates = $n-7$
⇒ Sum of salary of remaining associates = 12000($n-7$)
We know that,
The sum of the salary of all the associates = the sum of the salary of 7 senior associates + the sum of the salary of the remaining associates
⇒ $16000n=168000+12000(n-7)$
⇒ $16000n=168000+12000n-84000$
⇒ $16000n-12000n=84000$
⇒ $4000n=84000$
⇒ $n=21$
Hence the correct answer is 21.

Correct Answer: Dash-Wedge formula

Solution : The correct answer is the Dash-Wedge formula.

Three-dimensional molecular structures can be represented using a two-dimensional surface, such as a piece of paper or a computer screen, by employing the wedge and dash notation. Another name for this kind of organization is the wedge-dash notation, or wedges and dash notation.

Correct Answer: (2)

Solution : The error lies in the second part of the sentence.

The reason for the error is that in indirect or reported speech, the word order changes, and the subject she and auxiliary verb had should not be inverted as they are inverted in the interrogative statements. Here, the subject should come before the verb, as the question is changed into a statement.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "Henry asked his wife what she had prepared for dinner that night."

Correct Answer: Rs. 1,250

Solution : Total amount = Principal + Compound interest = Rs. 1,352
Rate = 4%
Time = 2 years
Let $P$ be the principal.
We know, $\text{Total amount}=\text{Principal}×(1+\frac{\text{Rate}}{100})^{\text{Time}}$
$⇒ 1352 = P(1+\frac{4}{100})^{2}$
$⇒ 1352 = P(\frac{26}{25})^{2}$
$\therefore P = \frac{1352×25×25}{26×26}= 1250$
Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 1,250.

Correct Answer: 12

Solution : Given:

The power of two in decreasing order is subtracted from each term to get the next term.
⇒ 260 – 2⁷ = 260 – 128 = 132
⇒ 132 – 2⁶ = 132 – 64 = 68
⇒ 68 – 2⁵ = 68 – 32 = 36
⇒ 36 – 2⁴ = 36 – 16 = 20
⇒ 20 – 2³ = 20 – 8 = 12

So, the missing number is 12. Hence, the first option is correct.

Correct Answer: bouquet

Solution : The correctly spelled word is the third option.

Bouquet refers to an artfully arranged collection of flowers, often given as a gift or used for decorative purposes. The correct arrangement of letters, b-o-u-q-u-e-t, ensures accurate spelling and proper conveyance of the intended meaning.

Therefore, the term for a bunch of flowers is correctly spelled as bouquet.
