Question : Directions: Which of the following letter clusters will replace the question mark (?) in the given series? OD, LA, IX, FU, ?
Option 1: BR
Option 2: CS
Option 3: CR
Option 4: CT
Correct Answer: CR
Solution : Given: OD, LA, IX, FU,?
Subtract 3 from the place value of the first and second letter, to get the required missing term in the series – OD→O – 3 = L; D – 3 = A→LA LA→L – 3 = I; A – 3 = X→IX IX→I – 3 = F; X – 3 = U→FU FU→F – 3 = C; U – 3 = R→CR
So, the required missing term in the series is CR. Hence, the third option is correct.

Option 1: 48
Option 2: 38
Option 3: 58
Option 4: 28
Correct Answer: 48
Solution : Given: 25 × 7 ÷ 175 – 196 ÷ 14 × 2 + 625 ÷ 25 × 3 = $25 × \frac{7}{ 175} - \frac{196}{14} × 2 + \frac{625}{ 25} ×3$ = 1 – 14 × 2 + 25 × 3 = 1 – 28 + 75 = 48 Hence, the correct answer is 48.

Question : The number of live births per thousand persons in a year is called ______.
Option 1: death rate
Option 2: fertility rate
Option 3: crude rate
Option 4: birth rate
Correct Answer: birth rate
Solution : The correct answer is the birth rate.
Birth rate is the number of live births per thousand people in a year. The number of deaths per thousand persons in a year is known as the death rate. An increase in the birth rate will increase the population density of a region or a country. If the birth and death rate remains equal, then the population density will remain in control.
Question : Peter bought an item at a 20% discount on its original price. He sold it with a 40% increase on the price he bought it. The new sale price is greater than the original price (in percent) by:
Option 1: 10%
Option 2: 8%
Option 3: 7.5%
Option 4: 12%
Correct Answer: 12%
Solution : Let the original price be Rs. 100. The cost price after 20% discount will be Rs. 80. The selling price = 140% of Rs. 80 = $\frac{140}{100}\times80$ = Rs. 112 Percentage change = $\frac{112-100}{100}\times100$ = 12% Hence, the correct answer is 12%.
Question : The following bar chart shows the runs given and overs bowled by a bowler in 6 different matches. Economy rate $=\frac{\text { Runs given }}{\text { Overs bowled }}$ What will be the economy rate of the bowler for all the 6 matches taken together? [Give your answer correct to 2 decimal places.]
Option 1: 7.22
Option 2: 5.46
Option 3: 6.93
Option 4: 6.14
Correct Answer: 6.14
Solution : Runs given = 66 + 56 + 72 + 45 + 20 + 36 = 295 Over bowled = 9 + 10 + 8 + 6 + 8 + 7 = 48 Economy rate $=\frac{\text { Runs given }}{\text { Overs bowled }}$ $=\frac{295}{48}$ $=6.14$ Hence, the correct answer is 6.14.

Question : Kepler's law of planetary motion states that the square of the period is proportional to the
Option 1: semi-major axis
Option 2: square of the semi-major axis
Option 3: cube of the semi-major axis
Option 4: fourth power of the semi-major axis
Correct Answer: cube of the semi-major axis
Solution : The correct option is a cube of the semi-major axis.
According to Kepler's Law of Periods, a planet's orbital period square is precisely proportionate to its semi-major axis cube. One of Johannes Kepler's three laws of planetary motion was determined in the early 17th century. The semi-major axis of the planet's orbit, denoted by the symbol 'a', is the semi-major axis of the Law of Periods, which is mathematically defined as T2∝ a3. This rule may be used to determine how long an orbit around the sun will last for every planet in the solar system, including Earth.
Question : The table shows the number of boys and girls in the schools. Which school has the minimum number of students?
Option 1: 2
Option 2: 3
Option 3: 5
Option 4: 1
Correct Answer: 5
Solution : The minimum number of students in the school = Number of boys + Number of the girls. The minimum number of students in the school 1 = 44 + 56 = 100 The minimum number of students in the school 2 = 34 + 45 = 79 The minimum number of students in the school 3 = 47 + 34 = 81 The minimum number of students in the school 4 = 95 + 54 = 149 The minimum number of students in the school 5 = 45 + 32 = 77 Hence, the correct answer is the school 5.
