Question : Which one of the following is a factor of the sum of the first twenty-five natural numbers?
Option 1: 26
Option 2: 24
Option 3: 13
Option 4: 12
Correct Answer: 13
Solution : Given: $n$ = 25 The sum of the first $n$ natural numbers = $\frac{n(n+1)}{2}$ = $\frac{25\times 26}{2}$ = 25 × 13 The factors of the sum of the first 25 natural numbers are 13 and 25. Hence, the correct answer is 13.

Question : In the given figure, O is the centre of the circle, OQ is perpendicular to RS, and $\angle SRT=30^{\circ}$. If $RS=10\sqrt{2}$ units, what is the value of PR2?
Option 1: $200\left ( 1+\sqrt{3} \right )$ sq. units
Option 2: $300\left ( 2+\sqrt{3} \right )$ sq. units
Option 3: $200\left ( 2+\sqrt{3} \right )$ sq. units
Option 4: $100\left ( 3+2\sqrt{3} \right )$ sq. units
Correct Answer: $200\left ( 2+\sqrt{3} \right )$ sq. units
Solution : Here RQ = QS = $5\sqrt{2}$ $\angle$SRT = 30° In $\triangle$ROQ, $\angle$ORQ = 90° – 30° = 60° ⇒ OR $=\frac{5\sqrt{2}}{\cos 60º} = 10\sqrt{2} = OP$ OQ $=5\sqrt{2} \times \tan 60º = 5\sqrt{6}$ PQ = OP + OQ =
Question : Comprehension: Read the given passage and answer the question that follows. We started our research into organisational and personal excellence by studying a slightly different topic. We figured that if we could learn why certain people were more effective than others, then we could learn exactly what they did, clone it, and pass it on to others. We asked people to identify who they thought were their most effective colleagues. In fact, over the past twenty-five years, we have asked over twenty thousand people to identify the individuals in their organisations who could really get things done.
