Correct Answer: Extreme

Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.

Moderate means to keep within reasonable or moderate limits, avoiding excess or extremes. Extreme refers to the furthest or highest degree, exceeding what is usual or reasonable. It is the opposite of moderation.

The meanings of the other words are as follows:

• Medium: It denotes an intermediate level, falling between extremes.
• Temperate: It is characterised by moderation and avoiding excess.
• Easy: It denotes not being difficult or requiring little effort.

Therefore, the correct answer is extreme.

Correct Answer: 3, 5, 1, 4, 2

Solution : Given:
1. Car 2. Train 3. Cycle 4. Truck 5. Auto-rickshaw

Based on the number of wheels, the given vehicles in the increasing order can be arranged as follows –
Cycle→Auto-rickshaw→Car→Truck→Train

So, the order is 3, 5, 1, 4, 2. Hence, the fourth option is correct.

Correct Answer: FQK

Solution : Given:
BCD : UFZ :: MNO : ?

Add 19 to the first letter, 3 to the second letter, and 22 to the third letter of the given letter cluster to obtain the required letter cluster.
B + 19 = U; C + 3 = U; D + 22 = Z
Thus, BCD is coded as UFZ.
Similarly, follow the same pattern for MNO –
M + 19 = F; N + 3 = Q; O + 22 = K

Thus, MNO is coded as FQK. Hence, the first option is correct.

Correct Answer: Comprehensible

Solution : The correct option is the second option.

In the given context, when it's mentioned that Sudha Murthy dealt with complex psychological issues in a lucid manner, it means she handled these intricate issues in a way that was easily understood and clear to the readers. Therefore, comprehensible, which also means easy to understand, is the most fitting synonym.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

• Poignant: This means evoking a keen sense of sadness or regret; emotionally moving.
• Implicit: This refers to something that is implied, though not plainly expressed; it is inherent in the nature of something.
• Exquisite: This refers to something that is extremely beautiful and delicate, characterised by intricate and refined detail.

Correct Answer:

Correct Answer: The tutor asked his pupil, “Where did you learn your English from? “

Solution : The correct choice is the first option.

The steps of conversion are as follows:

• There will be no change in the reporting verb in the case of the interrogative sentence.
• "Where" will be used as a conjunction because the question word itself becomes the conjunction in the case of the interrogative sentence.
• The past perfect tense "had learnt" is changed to the simple past tense "did you learn".
• The third-person pronoun "he" is changed to the second-person pronoun "you".
• The words of the speaker are enclosed in the inverted commas.

Therefore, the answer will be: The tutor asked his pupil, “Where did you learn your English from? “

Correct Answer: ×, –, =

Solution : Given:
8 * 5 * 9 * 31

Replace * with the mathematical signs and solve the equations one by one using BODMAS.
Let's check the given options –
First option: –, ×, =
⇒ 8 – 5 × 9 = 31
Solving the L.H.S. of the equation –
= 8 – 45
= –37 ≠ 31
Second option: –, =, ×
⇒ 8 – 5 = 9 × 31
Solving the L.H.S. of the equation –
= 8 – 5
= 3
Solving the R.H.S. of the equation –
= 9 × 31
= 279 ≠ 3
Third option: =, ×, –
⇒ 8 = 5 × 9 – 31
Solving the R.H.S. of the equation –
= 45 – 31
= 14 ≠ 8
Fourth option: ×, –, =
⇒ 8 × 5 – 9 = 31
Solving the L.H.S. of the equation –
= 40 – 9
= 31

So, only the fourth option satisfies the given equation. Hence, the fourth option is correct.

Correct Answer: 1

Solution : The correct option is 1.

Acetone has the molecular formula C₃H₆O.

1. Carbon (C) atoms: There are 3 carbon atoms.
2. Hydrogen (H) atoms: There are 6 hydrogen atoms.
3. Oxygen (O) atoms: There is 1 oxygen atom.

Therefore, in 1 molecule of acetone (C₃H₆O), there is 1 oxygen atom.

Correct Answer: The chemist said that they did not have stock of that medicine then.

Solution : The fourth option is the correct choice.

The steps of conversion are as follows:

• There would be no change in the reporting verb in the indirect speech.
• "We" (a first-person pronoun) is changed to "they" (a third-person pronoun).
• The present tense "do not" is changed to the past tense "did not".
• "This" is changed to "that".
• The connector "that" is used to introduce the reported clause.

Therefore, the correct answer is: "The chemist said that they did not have stock of that medicine then."
