Question 1

Study the pattern carefully and select the number that can replace the question mark (?)

Accepted Answer

Correct Option: 23. The question presents three circles with numbers arranged in a specific pattern. We need to find the missing number in the third circle. Let's analyze the pattern in the first two circles. Each circle has a top number, a bottom number, and a middle number. For Circle 1: Top number $= 484$, Bottom number $= 14$, Middle number $= 8$. We find the square root of the top number: $sqrt{484} = 22$. Then, $22 - 14 = 8$. This matches the middle number. For Circle 2: Top number $= 576$, Bottom number $= 19$, Middle number $= 5$. We find the square root of the top number: $sqrt{576} = 24$. Then, $24 - 19 = 5$. This matches the middle number. The pattern is: (Square root of the top number) - (Bottom number) = (Middle number). Now, apply this pattern to Circle 3: Top number $= 729$, Middle number $= 4$, Bottom number $= ?$ (Let this be $X$). First, find the square root of the top number: $sqrt{729} = 27$. Using the pattern, we have: $27 - X = 4$. Solving for $X$: $X = 27 - 4 = 23$. Therefore, the missing number is $23$. Let's analyze the options: A) $21$: If $X=21$, $27-21=6 eq 4$. B) $27$: If $X=27$, $27-27=0 eq 4$. C) $25$: If $X=25$, $27-25=2 eq 4$. D) $23$: This option perfectly matches the derived pattern.

Question 2

In the following diagram, the triangle represents men, the circle represents graduates and rectangle represents teachers. The numbers in different segments show the number of persons. How many men graduates are not teachers?

Accepted Answer

Correct Option: 5. The question asks to identify the number of "men graduates who are not teachers" from the provided Venn diagram. Let's define the regions: Triangle represents "Men". Circle represents "Graduates". Rectangle represents "Teachers". We are looking for individuals who are: 1. Men (inside the Triangle). 2. Graduates (inside the Circle). 3. NOT Teachers (outside the Rectangle). We need to find the number in the region that is the intersection of the Triangle and the Circle, but outside the Rectangle. Looking at the diagram, the region common to the Triangle and the Circle (Men and Graduates) contains the numbers $5$ and $6$. Out of these, the number $6$ is also inside the Rectangle (meaning they are teachers). The number $5$ is inside the Triangle and the Circle, but it is clearly outside the Rectangle. Therefore, $5$ represents the number of men graduates who are not teachers. Let's analyze the options: A) $5$: This option correctly identifies the number. B) $17$: This number is in the Triangle only, representing men who are neither graduates nor teachers. C) $7$: This number is in the Rectangle and Circle, but outside the Triangle, representing female graduate teachers. D) $15$: This number is in the Circle only, representing graduates who are neither men nor teachers.

Question 3

Study the pattern and replace the question mark (?) from the given alternatives

Accepted Answer

Correct Option: 22. The question presents a $3 times 3$ grid of numbers. We need to find the missing number in the third row, third column. First, observe the first row: $25, 36, 49$. These are perfect squares: $5^2, 6^2, 7^2$. Let's denote the numbers in the grid as $C{ij}$ where $i$ is the row and $j$ is the column. Let's consider the relationship between the square root of the first row number and the numbers in the second and third rows for each column. For Column 1: $sqrt{C{11}} = sqrt{25} = 5$. We observe that $sqrt{C{11}} + C{21} = 5 + 12 = 17$, which matches $C{31}$. For Column 2: $sqrt{C{12}} = sqrt{36} = 6$. We observe that $sqrt{C{12}} + C{22} = 6 + 13 = 19$, which matches $C{32}$. The pattern is: The number in the third row is the sum of the square root of the number in the first row and the number in the second row for the respective column. Applying this pattern to Column 3: $sqrt{C{13}} = sqrt{49} = 7$. The missing number $C{33}$ will be $sqrt{C{13}} + C{23} = 7 + 15 = 22$. Let's analyze the options: A) $21$: Incorrect. B) $23$: Incorrect. C) $22$: This option perfectly matches the derived pattern. D) $24$: Incorrect.

Question 4

A+B means A is mother of B. A-B means A is wife of B. A$times$B means A is brother of B. A$div$B means A is husband of B. If T$div$V+Q-J$times$M+U then how is T related to J?

Accepted Answer

Correct Option: Father-in-law/ससुर. The question provides a set of relational definitions and an expression: $text{T} div text{V} + text{Q} - text{J} times text{M} + text{U}$. We need to determine how $text{T}$ is related to $text{J}$. Let's break down the expression step by step using the given definitions: 1. $text{T} div text{V}$: "$text{A} div text{B}$ means $text{A}$ is husband of $text{B}$." So, $text{T}$ is the husband of $text{V}$. This implies $text{T}$ is male and $text{V}$ is female. 2. $text{V} + text{Q}$: "$text{A} + text{B}$ means $text{A}$ is mother of $text{B}$." So, $text{V}$ is the mother of $text{Q}$. Since $text{T}$ is $text{V}$'s husband, $text{T}$ is the father of $text{Q}$. 3. $text{Q} - text{J}$: "$text{A} - text{B}$ means $text{A}$ is wife of $text{B}$." So, $text{Q}$ is the wife of $text{J}$. This implies $text{Q}$ is female and $text{J}$ is male. 4. $text{J} times text{M}$: "$text{A} times text{B}$ means $text{A}$ is brother of $text{B}$." So, $text{J}$ is the brother of $text{M}$. This implies $text{J}$ is male. (The last part $text{M} + text{U}$ is not needed to relate $text{T}$ to $text{J}$). Now, let's establish the relationship between $text{T}$ and $text{J}$: From step 2, $text{T}$ is the father of $text{Q}$. From step 3, $text{Q}$ is the wife of $text{J}$. Therefore, $text{T}$ is the father of $text{J}$'s wife. In other words, $text{T}$ is $text{J}$'s father-in-law. Let's analyze the options: A) Father-in-law: This option correctly identifies $text{T}$ as the father-in-law of $text{J}$. B) Son-in-law: This would mean $text{J}$ is $text{T}$'s son-in-law, not $text{T}$ being $text{J}$'s son-in-law. C) Father: This would mean $text{T}$ is $text{J}$'s direct father, which is incorrect. D) Brother: This would mean $text{T}$ and $text{J}$ are siblings, which is incorrect.

Question 5

Select the letter cluster that will replace the question mark (?) in the following series. JAM, KEL, LIK, MOJ, ?

Accepted Answer

Correct Option: NUI. The given series of letter clusters is $text{JAM, KEL, LIK, MOJ, ?}$. We need to find the next cluster. Let's analyze the pattern for each letter position in the clusters: 1. First letter: $text{J} (10) xrightarrow{+1} text{K} (11) xrightarrow{+1} text{L} (12) xrightarrow{+1} text{M} (13)$. The pattern is a consistent increment of $+1$. So, the next first letter will be $text{M} (13) xrightarrow{+1} text{N} (14)$. 2. Second letter: $text{A} (1) xrightarrow{+4} text{E} (5) xrightarrow{+4} text{I} (9) xrightarrow{+6} text{O} (15)$. The pattern for the increment is $4, 4, 6$. Assuming the sequence of increments continues as $4, 4, 6, 6$, the next increment should be $+6$. So, the next second letter will be $text{O} (15) xrightarrow{+6} text{U} (21)$. 3. Third letter: $text{M} (13) xrightarrow{-1} text{L} (12) xrightarrow{-1} text{K} (11) xrightarrow{-1} text{J} (10)$. The pattern is a consistent decrement of $-1$. So, the next third letter will be $text{J} (10) xrightarrow{-1} text{I} (9)$. Combining these patterns, the next letter cluster is $text{NUI}$. Options A, B, C have incorrect second letters based on the derived pattern.

Question 6

If AS=19 and BAT=40, then DEAF= ?

Accepted Answer

Correct Option: 120. The given codes are $text{AS}=19$ and $text{BAT}=40$. We need to find the code for $text{DEAF}$. Let's determine the rule by analyzing the given examples using positional values of letters (A=1, B=2, ... Z=26): For $text{AS}$: $text{A}=1, text{S}=19$. If we sum them: $1+19 = 20 eq 19$. If we multiply them: $1 times 19 = 19$. This matches the given code. For $text{BAT}$: $text{B}=2, text{A}=1, text{T}=20$. If we sum them: $2+1+20 = 23 eq 40$. If we multiply them: $2 times 1 times 20 = 40$. This matches the given code. The rule is to multiply the positional values of all letters in the word. Now, apply this rule to $text{DEAF}$: $text{D}=4, text{E}=5, text{A}=1, text{F}=6$. Product $= 4 times 5 times 1 times 6 = 20 times 6 = 120$. Let's analyze the options: A) $180$: Incorrect, as $4 times 5 times 1 times 6 = 120$. B) $190$: Incorrect. C) $160$: Incorrect. D) $120$: This option perfectly matches the derived rule of multiplying the positional values of the letters.

Question 7

In a code language, CABLE is written as GAFPE. How will TRAIN be written in the same language?

Accepted Answer

Correct Option: XVAIR. The given code is $text{CABLE}$ is written as $text{GAFPE}$. We need to find the code for $text{TRAIN}$. Let's analyze the letter-to-letter mapping based on their positional values (A=1, B=2, ... Z=26): $text{C} (3) rightarrow text{G} (7)$, a shift of $+4$. $text{A} (1) rightarrow text{A} (1)$, a shift of $+0$. $text{B} (2) rightarrow text{F} (6)$, a shift of $+4$. $text{L} (12) rightarrow text{P} (16)$, a shift of $+4$. $text{E} (5) rightarrow text{E} (5)$, a shift of $+0$. The pattern observed is: consonants are shifted by $+4$ positions, and vowels remain unchanged (shifted by $+0$). Now, apply this rule to the word $text{TRAIN}$: $text{T}$ (consonant): $text{T} (20) xrightarrow{+4} text{X} (24)$. $text{R}$ (consonant): $text{R} (18) xrightarrow{+4} text{V} (22)$. $text{A}$ (vowel): $text{A} (1) xrightarrow{+0} text{A} (1)$. $text{I}$ (vowel): $text{I} (9) xrightarrow{+0} text{I} (9)$. $text{N}$ (consonant): $text{N} (14) xrightarrow{+4} text{R} (18)$. Combining these, $text{TRAIN}$ is coded as $text{XVAIR}$. Option B matches this derived pattern. Other options contain incorrect letter transformations based on the vowel/consonant rule.

Question 8

Three of the following four numbers are alike in a certain way and one is different. Find the odd one out. 1260, 1156, 2601, 1849

Accepted Answer

Correct Option: 1260. We are given four numbers: $1260, 1156, 2601, 1849$. We need to find the odd one out. Let's examine if these numbers are perfect squares: A) $1260$: $sqrt{1260} approx 35.49$. This is not an integer, so $1260$ is not a perfect square. B) $1156$: $sqrt{1156} = 34$. So, $1156$ is a perfect square ($34^2$). C) $2601$: $sqrt{2601} = 51$. So, $2601$ is a perfect square ($51^2$). D) $1849$: $sqrt{1849} = 43$. So, $1849$ is a perfect square ($43^2$). From this analysis, it is clear that $1156, 2601,$ and $1849$ are all perfect squares, while $1260$ is not. Therefore, $1260$ is the odd one out.

Question 9

Three of the following terms are alike in a certain way. Find the odd one out. K, T, C, Y

Accepted Answer

Correct Option: C. We are given four letters: $text{K, T, C, Y}$. We need to find the odd one out based on a common characteristic shared by the other three. Let's analyze the visual structure of each letter: $text{K}$ consists entirely of straight line segments. $text{T}$ consists entirely of straight line segments. $text{C}$ consists of a curved line segment. $text{Y}$ consists entirely of straight line segments. Based on this observation, $text{K, T, Y}$ are all formed using only straight lines, whereas $text{C}$ is formed using a curved line. This makes $text{C}$ the odd one out. Other properties like positional values (K=11, T=20, C=3, Y=25) or vowel/consonant status (all consonants) do not provide a clear distinction for a single odd one out.

Question 10

Select the number pair in which the two numbers are related in the same way as are the two numbers of the following number pair: $10:28$

Accepted Answer

Correct Option: 17:65. The given number pair is $10:28$. We need to find the relationship between these two numbers and then identify an option pair that follows the same rule. Let's analyze the relationship for $10:28$. We can observe that $10 = 3^2 + 1$ and $28 = 3^3 + 1$. So, the pattern is $n^2+1 : n^3+1$, where for the given pair, $n=3$. Now, let's check the given options: A) $17:65$: If $n^2+1 = 17$, then $n^2 = 16$, which implies $n=4$. Applying the second part of the pattern, $n^3+1 = 4^3+1 = 64+1 = 65$. This matches the given pair $17:65$. B) $15:65$: If $n^2+1 = 15$, then $n^2 = 14$, which is not a perfect square. C) $12:33$: If $n^2+1 = 12$, then $n^2 = 11$, which is not a perfect square. D) $25:79$: If $n^2+1 = 25$, then $n^2 = 24$, which is not a perfect square. Therefore, the pair $17:65$ follows the same relationship.

Question 11

Select the option that is related to the third term in the same way as the second term is related to the first term. CJR: ENX :: FLP :

Accepted Answer

Correct Option: HPV. The given analogy is $text{CJR} : text{ENX} :: text{FLP} : ?$. We need to find the pattern of letter shifts from $text{CJR}$ to $text{ENX}$ and apply it to $text{FLP}$. Let's analyze the positional values of the letters (A=1, B=2, ... Z=26): For the first letter: $text{C} (3) xrightarrow{+2} text{E} (5)$. For the second letter: $text{J} (10) xrightarrow{+4} text{N} (14)$. For the third letter: $text{R} (18) xrightarrow{+6} text{X} (24)$. The pattern of shifts is $+2, +4, +6$ for the first, second, and third letters, respectively. Now, apply this pattern to $text{FLP}$: For the first letter: $text{F} (6) xrightarrow{+2} text{H} (8)$. For the second letter: $text{L} (12) xrightarrow{+4} text{P} (16)$. For the third letter: $text{P} (16) xrightarrow{+6} text{V} (22)$. Combining these, $text{FLP}$ becomes $text{HPV}$. Let's analyze the options: A) $text{HPV}$: This option perfectly matches the derived pattern. B) $text{IPU}$: The first letter $text{I}$ implies a shift of $+3$ from $text{F}$, which is incorrect. C) $text{IPV}$: The first letter $text{I}$ implies a shift of $+3$ from $text{F}$, which is incorrect. D) $text{HPU}$: The third letter $text{U}$ implies a shift of $+5$ from $text{P}$, which is incorrect (it should be $text{V}$ for $+6$).

Question 12

Select the option that is related to the third number in the same way as the second number is related to the first number. $36: 109:: 25: $

Accepted Answer

Correct Option: 76. The given analogy is $36 : 109 :: 25 : ?$. We need to identify the relationship between the first pair and apply it to the second. Upon careful observation, the pattern for the first pair is $x : (x times 3 + 1)$. For $36 : 109$, we have $36 times 3 = 108$, and $108 + 1 = 109$. This rule holds for the first pair. Now, we apply the same rule to the third number, $25$: $25 times 3 = 75$, and $75 + 1 = 76$. Thus, the missing number is $76$. Let's analyze the options: A) $70$: This would imply $25 times 3 - 5 = 70$, inconsistent. B) $72$: This would imply $25 times 3 - 3 = 72$, inconsistent. C) $75$: This would imply $25 times 3 = 75$, inconsistent with the $+1$ in the first pair. D) $76$: This option perfectly matches the derived pattern of multiplying by $3$ and then adding $1$.

Question 13

Which number will replace the question mark (?) in the following series? $3, 8, 6, 11, 9, 14, 12, ?$

Accepted Answer

Correct Option: 17. The given series is $3, 8, 6, 11, 9, 14, 12, ?$. This is an alternating series, which can be broken down into two separate sub-series: Sub-series 1 (terms at odd positions): $3, 6, 9, 12, dots$. Analyzing this: $3 xrightarrow{+3} 6 xrightarrow{+3} 9 xrightarrow{+3} 12$. This is an arithmetic progression with a common difference of $+3$. Sub-series 2 (terms at even positions): $8, 11, 14, ?, dots$. Analyzing this: $8 xrightarrow{+3} 11 xrightarrow{+3} 14$. This is also an arithmetic progression with a common difference of $+3$. The next term in the original series is the next term in Sub-series 2. So, the next term in Sub-series 2 will be $14 + 3 = 17$. Let's analyze the options: A) $18$: Implies $14+4$, inconsistent. B) $15$: Implies $14+1$, inconsistent. C) $16$: Implies $14+2$, inconsistent. D) $17$: This option perfectly matches the derived pattern of adding $3$ to the previous term in the second sub-series.

Question 14

Which letter code stands for 'drivers' ?

Accepted Answer

Correct Option: cer. This is a coding-decoding problem where we need to find the code word for 'drivers' by comparing the given statements. Step 1: Write down the given statements with their codes and meanings. (I) mer fer ber ger = buses are always late (II) ger der cer per = drivers were always scolded (III) ber cer ver rer = drivers stopped all buses Step 2: Identify the word 'drivers' in the statements. The word 'drivers' appears in statement (II) and statement (III). Step 3: Find the common code word(s) in the codes of statements (II) and (III). Codes for (II): 'ger', 'der', 'cer', 'per' Codes for (III): 'ber', 'cer', 'ver', 'rer' The only common code word between these two sets of codes is 'cer'. Step 4: Conclude the code for 'drivers'. Since 'drivers' is the common word between statements (II) and (III), and 'cer' is the only common code word, 'cer' must represent 'drivers'. Step 5: (Optional) Further deductions for verification. From the previous question (or by comparing (I) and (II)), we can deduce that 'ger' = 'always'. From (I) and (III), the common code is 'ber', and the common word is 'buses'. So, 'ber' = 'buses'. Now, let's look at statement (II): 'ger der cer per' = 'drivers were always scolded'. We know 'ger' = 'always' and 'cer' = 'drivers'. So, 'der per' = 'were scolded'. Let's look at statement (III): 'ber cer ver rer' = 'drivers stopped all buses'. We know 'ber' = 'buses' and 'cer' = 'drivers'. So, 'ver rer' = 'stopped all'. All deductions are consistent. Therefore, the letter code for 'drivers' is 'cer'. Option 1 (per): 'per' is present in statement (II) but not (III). It cannot be the code for 'drivers'. So, this is incorrect. Option 2 (cer): 'cer' is present in both statement (II) and (III), and 'drivers' is the common word. So, this is the correct answer. Option 3 (der): 'der' is present in statement (II) but not (III). It cannot be the code for 'drivers'. So, this is incorrect. Option 4 (ver): 'ver' is present in statement (III) but not (II

Question 15

₹1,875 is divided among A, B and C in such a way that A's share is half of the combined share of B and C, and B's share is one-fourth of the combined share of A and C. By what amount is C's share more than that of A?

Accepted Answer

Correct Option: ₹250. Let the shares of A, B, and C be denoted by $A$, $B$, and $C$ respectively. Step 1: Set up the total amount equation. The total amount divided is ₹1,875. So, $A + B + C = 1875$. Step 2: Use the first condition to find A's share. Condition 1: A's share is half of the combined share of B and C. Mathematically: $A = frac{1}{2}(B+C)$. This implies $2A = B+C$. Substitute $B+C = 2A$ into the total amount equation: $A + (2A) = 1875$ $3A = 1875$ $A = frac{1875}{3}$ $A = 625$. So, A's share is ₹625. Step 3: Use the second condition to find B's share. Condition 2: B's share is one-fourth of the combined share of A and C. Mathematically: $B = frac{1}{4}(A+C)$. This implies $4B = A+C$. Substitute $A+C = 4B$ into the total amount equation: $A + B + C = 1875$ $(A+C) + B = 1875$ $4B + B = 1875$ $5B = 1875$ $B = frac{1875}{5}$ $B = 375$. So, B's share is ₹375. Step 4: Calculate C's share. We know $A + B + C = 1875$. Substitute the values of A and B: $625 + 375 + C = 1875$ $1000 + C = 1875$ $C = 1875 - 1000$ $C = 875$. So, C's share is ₹875. Step 5: Find the difference between C's share and A's share. The question asks: By what amount is C's share more than that of A? Difference = $C - A = 875 - 625 = 250$. Therefore, C's share is ₹250 more than A's share. Option 1 (₹500): This is incorrect. The difference is not ₹500. Option 2 (₹225): This is incorrect. The difference is not ₹225. Option 3 (₹250): This matches our calculated difference of ₹250. So, this is the correct answer. Option 4 (₹200): This is incorrect. The difference is not ₹200.

Question 16

In the following question, figure A is embedded in one of the four answer figures. Select the correct alternative.

Accepted Answer

Correct Option: . To solve this embedded figure problem, we need to carefully examine Figure A and then visually search for its exact shape and orientation (or a rotated/reflected version if allowed, but typically it's exact) within the given options. Step 1: Analyze Figure A. Figure A consists of three line segments: a horizontal line segment, followed by a diagonal line segment going downwards and to the right, and then another horizontal line segment parallel to the first, connected at the bottom-right end of the diagonal. It resembles a stylized 'N' or a lightning bolt shape. Step 2: Examine each option for the embedded Figure A. Option 1: Upon careful inspection, Figure A cannot be found in this option. The diagonal lines and horizontal segments do not combine to form the exact shape of Figure A. Option 2: This figure is a simple grid of squares. Figure A, which contains diagonal lines, cannot be embedded in this grid. So, this is incorrect. Option 3: This figure contains a complex pattern with multiple horizontal, vertical, and diagonal lines. If you look at the central-right portion of this figure, you can clearly trace Figure A. Specifically, locate a horizontal line segment. From its right endpoint, trace a diagonal line segment downwards and to the right. From the bottom endpoint of this diagonal, trace another horizontal line segment to the right, parallel to the first. This exact sequence of segments forms Figure A. So, this is the correct answer. Option 4: This figure has a different pattern of lines and does not contain Figure A. The angles and connections of the lines do not match Figure A. So, this is incorrect. Therefore, Figure A is embedded in Option 3. Option 1: Figure A is not present in this option. So, this is incorrect. Option 2: Figure A is not present in this option. So, this is incorrect. Option 3: Figure A is clearly embedded in this option. So, this is the correct answer. Option 4: Figure A is not present in this option. So, this is inco

Question 17

The Venn diagram represents which of the given alternatives?

Accepted Answer

Correct Option: Table, Furniture, Carpet. The Venn diagram shows three concentric circles, which typically represent a hierarchical relationship where each inner circle is a strict subset of the next larger circle. This means if the circles are $A, B, C$ from innermost to outermost, then $A subset B subset C$. Let's analyze each option: Option 1: Women, Officer, Stenographer. If we try to fit this into a nested structure, we might consider 'Stenographer' as the innermost, 'Officer' as the middle, and 'Women' as the outermost. While it is generally true that all stenographers are officers (in a professional context), it is not true that all officers are women. Therefore, the relationship 'Officer' $subset$ 'Women' is false, and this option does not perfectly fit the nested diagram. Option 2: Flower, Stems, Roots. These are distinct parts of a plant, but they do not form a nested hierarchical relationship. A stem is not a subset of a flower, nor are roots a subset of stems. They are separate components. This option clearly does not fit the diagram. Option 3: Table, Furniture, Carpet. In this option, 'Furniture' is a broad category of household items. A 'Table' is a specific type of furniture. Thus, 'Table' $subset$ 'Furniture' is a correct and clear subset relationship. However, a 'Carpet' is a floor covering and is generally not considered a type of furniture, nor is it a subset of 'Table'. Therefore, the inclusion of 'Carpet' in a strict nested hierarchy with 'Table' and 'Furniture' is logically inconsistent for a standard Venn diagram. Despite this logical inconsistency for the third element, this option contains the strongest partial subset relationship among the choices (Table is a subset of Furniture). In some reasoning contexts, if a perfect fit is unavailable, the option with the most significant correct partial relationship might be considered the intended answer, assuming 'Furniture' is the broadest category, 'Table' is a subset, and 'Carpet' is loosely asso

Question 18

Three different positions of the same dice are shown below. Which number is on the face opposite the face showing 4 ?

Accepted Answer

Correct Option: 5. To find the number opposite to 4, we can use the rules of dice. Step 1: Compare Dice 1 and Dice 2 to find one pair of opposite faces. Dice 1 shows faces: 1, 5, 2 Dice 2 shows faces: 5, 3, 1 The common faces between Dice 1 and Dice 2 are 1 and 5. According to the rule: If two positions of a dice have two common faces, then the remaining uncommon faces are opposite to each other. The remaining uncommon faces are 2 (from Dice 1) and 3 (from Dice 2). Therefore, 2 is opposite to 3. Step 2: Use the known opposite pair and the visible faces to deduce other pairs. The numbers on a standard die are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. We know that 2 is opposite to 3. This means 1, 4, 5, 6 must form the other two opposite pairs. Now, let's look at the faces adjacent to 4 from the given dice positions. From Dice 3, the visible faces are 6, 1, 4. This means 1 and 6 are adjacent to 4. Since 1 and 6 are adjacent to 4, 4 cannot be opposite to 1 or 6. The remaining numbers that could be opposite to 4 are 5. Therefore, 4 must be opposite to 5. Step 3: Verify consistency (optional but good practice). If 2 is opposite 3, and 4 is opposite 5, then the remaining numbers, 1 and 6, must be opposite each other. Let's check if these pairs (2,3), (4,5), (1,6) are consistent with the given dice positions: Dice 1 (1, 5, 2): Visible faces are 1, 5, 2. Their opposites (6, 4, 3) are not visible. Consistent. Dice 2 (5, 3, 1): Visible faces are 5, 3, 1. Their opposites (4, 2, 6) are not visible. Consistent. Dice 3 (6, 1, 4): Visible faces are 6, 1, 4. Their opposites (1, 6, 5) are not visible. Consistent. Thus, the number on the face opposite to 4 is 5. Option 1 (2): 2 is opposite to 3, not 4. So, this is incorrect. Option 2 (3): 3 is opposite to 2, not 4. So, this is incorrect. Option 3 (6): 6 is opposite to 1, not 4. So, this is incorrect. Option 4 (5): 5 is opposite to 4, which is the correct answer.

Question 19

How many triangles are present in the following figure ?

Accepted Answer

Correct Option: 32. To count the number of triangles in the given figure, we can use a systematic approach. Step 1: Analyze the structure of the figure. The figure is a large square divided into four smaller, identical squares by a central horizontal and a central vertical line. Each of these four smaller squares has its diagonals drawn. Step 2: Count triangles within each small square. Consider one of the small squares (e.g., the top-left quadrant). When a square has both its diagonals drawn, it forms a specific number of triangles. Smallest triangles (1 unit area): Within each small square, the diagonals divide it into 4 individual triangles. Since there are 4 such small squares, this gives $4 times 4 = 16$ triangles. Triangles formed by combining 2 smallest triangles (2 unit area): In each small square, two adjacent smallest triangles can combine to form a larger triangle. For example, the two triangles sharing a vertical side form a larger triangle. There are 4 such triangles in each small square (e.g., top-half, bottom-half, left-half, right-half of that small square). Since there are 4 such small squares, this gives $4 times 4 = 16$ triangles. Step 3: Sum the triangles found. Total triangles = (Triangles of 1 unit area) + (Triangles of 2 unit area) Total triangles = $16 + 16 = 32$. Step 4: Check for any larger triangles spanning across the central dividing lines. The figure's lines are limited to the outer boundary, the central horizontal and vertical lines, and the diagonals within each of the four small squares. No additional diagonals or lines are drawn across the entire large square or its rectangular halves. Therefore, no larger triangles are formed by combining parts from different small squares (e.g., a triangle spanning the top-left and top-right quadrants). Thus, the total number of triangles in the figure is 32. Option 1 (28): This is incorrect. It misses some triangles, possibly by miscounting the 2-unit area triangles. Option 2 (30): This is incorr

Question 20

Rohan is facing west and turns $45^{circ}$ clockwise, again $180^{circ}$ clockwise and then turns $270^{circ}$ clockwise. In which direction is he facing now ?

Accepted Answer

Correct Option: North East / उत्तर-पूर्व. To determine Rohan's final direction, we need to calculate the total angular displacement from his starting position. Step 1: Identify the starting direction. Rohan is initially facing West. Step 2: Calculate the total clockwise turn. First turn: $45^{circ}$ clockwise. Second turn: $180^{circ}$ clockwise. Third turn: $270^{circ}$ clockwise. Total clockwise turn = $45^{circ} + 180^{circ} + 270^{circ} = 495^{circ}$. Step 3: Simplify the total turn by accounting for full rotations. A full circle is $360^{circ}$. Any turn greater than $360^{circ}$ can be simplified by subtracting multiples of $360^{circ}$. $495^{circ} = 360^{circ} + 135^{circ}$. This means Rohan effectively turns $135^{circ}$ clockwise from his initial direction (West). Step 4: Determine the final direction. Starting from West, a $90^{circ}$ clockwise turn leads to North. A $135^{circ}$ clockwise turn from West means turning $90^{circ}$ to North and then an additional $135^{circ} - 90^{circ} = 45^{circ}$ clockwise from North. $45^{circ}$ clockwise from North is North-East. Alternatively, using degrees relative to North (where North is $0^{circ}$ or $360^{circ}$, East is $90^{circ}$, South is $180^{circ}$, West is $270^{circ}$): Starting direction: West, which is $270^{circ}$. Add the effective clockwise turn: $270^{circ} + 135^{circ} = 405^{circ}$. Since $405^{circ}$ is greater than $360^{circ}$, subtract $360^{circ}$ to find the equivalent angle within a single rotation: $405^{circ} - 360^{circ} = 45^{circ}$. The direction corresponding to $45^{circ}$ clockwise from North is North-East. Therefore, Rohan is now facing North-East. Option 1 (North East): This is the correct final direction after a $135^{circ}$ clockwise turn from West. So, this is the correct answer. Option 2 (North West): This would be $45^{circ}$ counter-clockwise from North, or $315^{circ}$ clockwise from North. This is incorrect. Option 3 (South East): This would be $135^{circ}$ clockwise from

Question 21

According to a certain code (I) 'mer fer ber ger' means 'buses are always late' (II) 'ger der cer per' means 'drivers were always scolded' (III) 'ber cer ver rer' means 'drivers stopped all buses' Which word is represented by 'ger'?

Accepted Answer

Correct Option: always. This is a coding-decoding problem where we need to find the word corresponding to the code 'ger' by comparing the given statements. Step 1: Write down the given statements with their codes and meanings. (I) mer fer ber ger = buses are always late (II) ger der cer per = drivers were always scolded (III) ber cer ver rer = drivers stopped all buses Step 2: Identify the code word 'ger' in the statements. The code word 'ger' appears in statement (I) and statement (II). Step 3: Find the common word(s) in the meanings of statements (I) and (II). Meaning of (I): 'buses are always late' Meaning of (II): 'drivers were always scolded' The only common word between these two meanings is 'always'. Step 4: Conclude the meaning of 'ger'. Since 'ger' is the only common code word between statements (I) and (II), and 'always' is the only common word in their meanings, 'ger' must represent 'always'. Let's analyze the options: Option 1 (late): 'late' appears only in statement (I). The code for 'late' is not 'ger' as 'ger' is also in (II). So, this is incorrect. Option 2 (were): 'were' appears only in statement (II). The code for 'were' is not 'ger' as 'ger' is also in (I). So, this is incorrect. Option 3 (are): 'are' appears only in statement (I). The code for 'are' is not 'ger' as 'ger' is also in (II). So, this is incorrect. Option 4 (always): 'always' is the common word between statements (I) and (II), which corresponds to the common code 'ger'. So, this is the correct answer.

Question 22

If '$times$' stands for addition, '$div$' stands for subtraction, '+' stands for multiplication and '-' stands for division, then what will be the value of the following expression ? $26 div 13 times 8 + 6 - 2$

Accepted Answer

Correct Option: 37. To solve this problem, we need to replace the given mathematical operators with their new meanings and then evaluate the expression following the order of operations (BODMAS/PEMDAS). Step 1: List the original expression and the new operator meanings. Original expression: $26 div 13 times 8 + 6 - 2$ New meanings: '$times$' means '+' (addition) '$div$' means '-' (subtraction) '+' means '$times$' (multiplication) '-' means '$div$' (division) Step 2: Substitute the new operator meanings into the expression. The expression $26 div 13 times 8 + 6 - 2$ becomes: $26 text{ (new } div text{)} 13 text{ (new } times text{)} 8 text{ (new } + text{)} 6 text{ (new } - text{)} 2$ $26 - 13 + 8 times 6 div 2$ Step 3: Evaluate the new expression following the order of operations (BODMAS/PEMDAS). Brackets (None) Orders (Powers and Square Roots) (None) DM Division and Multiplication (from left to right) First, perform the division: $6 div 2 = 3$ The expression is now: $26 - 13 + 8 times 3$ Next, perform the multiplication: $8 times 3 = 24$ The expression is now: $26 - 13 + 24$ AS Addition and Subtraction (from left to right) First, perform the subtraction: $26 - 13 = 13$ The expression is now: $13 + 24$ Finally, perform the addition: $13 + 24 = 37$ Therefore, the value of the expression is 37. Option 1 (17): This would be incorrect, likely from an error in applying operator precedence or substitution. For example, if multiplication was done before division, or if addition/subtraction order was incorrect. Option 2 (27): This is incorrect. The calculation does not result in 27. Option 3 (37): This matches our calculated value. So, this is the correct answer. Option 4 (47): This is incorrect. The calculation does not result in 47.

Question 23

At the time of sunrise, Deepa and Anjum are sitting in a park with their backs facing each other. If the shadow of Deepa falls to the right of Anjum, then in which direction is Anjum facing ?

Accepted Answer

Correct Option: South/दक्षिण. Let's break down the problem step-by-step to determine Anjum's facing direction. Step 1: Determine the direction of the sun and shadows. The problem states it is 'sunrise'. At sunrise, the sun is in the East. Shadows are always cast in the direction opposite to the sun. Therefore, at sunrise, all shadows fall towards the West. Step 2: Identify the direction of Deepa's shadow. Deepa's shadow falls towards the West. Step 3: Relate Deepa's shadow direction to Anjum's perspective. The problem states that 'the shadow of Deepa falls to the right of Anjum'. From Step 2, we know Deepa's shadow is in the West. Therefore, 'West' is 'to the right of Anjum'. Step 4: Determine Anjum's facing direction based on her right being West. If Anjum is facing North, her right would be East. If Anjum is facing South, her right would be West. If Anjum is facing East, her right would be South. If Anjum is facing West, her right would be North. Since West is to Anjum's right, Anjum must be facing South. Step 5: Verify consistency with Deepa's position (optional). Deepa and Anjum are sitting with their backs facing each other. This means they are facing opposite directions. If Anjum is facing South, then Deepa must be facing North. If Deepa is facing North, her right is East, and her left is West. Her shadow falls to the West (which is to her left). Anjum is facing South, her right is West. Deepa's shadow (which is in the West) falls to Anjum's right. This is consistent with the problem statement. Therefore, Anjum is facing South. Option 1 (North): If Anjum faces North, her right is East. This contradicts the condition that Deepa's shadow (West) is to Anjum's right. So, this is incorrect. Option 2 (South): If Anjum faces South, her right is West. This perfectly matches the condition that Deepa's shadow (West) is to Anjum's right. So, this is the correct answer. Option 3 (East): If Anjum faces East, her right is South. This contradicts the condition. So, this is i

Question 24

Which of the following executes computer commands ?

Accepted Answer

Correct Option: Control unit. The Control Unit (CU) is the component of the Central Processing Unit (CPU) responsible for fetching instructions, decoding them, and then executing them by generating control signals to other CPU parts and components. It orchestrates the entire command execution process. Option A (Arithmetic unit): The Arithmetic Unit (AU) performs arithmetic operations (e.g., addition, subtraction) under the CU's direction. Option B (Logic unit): The Logic Unit (LU) performs logical operations (e.g., AND, OR) and comparisons, also under the CU's direction. Option C (Control unit): This is the correct answer. The CU is the primary component that executes commands by managing the instruction cycle. Option D (Both Arithmetic unit and Logic unit): The ALU (Arithmetic Logic Unit, comprising AU and LU) performs computations, but the CU is what directs which computations to perform and thereby executes the overall command.

Question 25

According to a certain code: (I) 'mer fer ber ger' means 'buses are always late' (II) 'ger der cer per' means 'drivers were always scolded' (III) 'ber cer ver rer' means 'drivers stopped all buses' Which word is represented by 'ger'?

Accepted Answer

Correct Option: buses. The English question asks for the word represented by 'ger'. By comparing statements (I) and (II), the common code word is 'ger' and the common English word is 'always'. However, 'always' is not an available option. The Hindi version of the question asks for the word represented by 'ber'. To find what 'ber' represents, we compare statements (I) and (III): 1. (I) 'mer fer ber ger' $rightarrow$ 'buses are always late' 2. (III) 'ber cer ver rer' $rightarrow$ 'drivers stopped all buses' By comparing these two statements, the common code word is 'ber' and the common English word is 'buses'. Therefore, 'ber' represents 'buses'. Assuming the question intended to ask for 'ber' to align with the provided options: Option A (buses): This is the correct word represented by 'ber'. Option B (scolded): From statement (II), 'scolded' is part of 'der per' (after removing 'ger' for 'always' and 'cer' for 'drivers'), not 'ber'. Option C (stopped): From statement (III), 'stopped' is part of 'ver rer' (after removing 'ber' for 'buses' and 'cer' for 'drivers'), not 'ber'. Option D (all): From statement (III), 'all' is part of 'ver rer' (after removing 'ber' for 'buses' and 'cer' for 'drivers'), not 'ber'.

Option A (Tape drive): Tape drives use magnetic tape, which is typically rewritable and erasable. Option B (Hard drive): Hard drives are magnetic storage devices that are fully rewritable and erasable. Option C (Compact disk): This is the correct answer, referring to the read-only nature of a standard compact disk (CD-ROM). Option D (Floppy disk): Floppy disks are magnetic storage media that are rewritable and erasable.

Question 30

Which of the following is the fastest communication channel ?

Accepted Answer

Correct Option: Optical fibre. Optical fibre is generally considered the fastest communication channel for high-bandwidth data transmission over long distances. It transmits data using light pulses, which travel at very high speeds with minimal signal loss and interference, offering significantly higher data rates than electrical or wireless methods. Option A (Radio wave): Radio waves are wireless and travel at the speed of light, but their practical data rates are limited by bandwidth and interference, making them slower than optical fiber for high-capacity links. Option B (Microwave): Microwaves are also wireless and travel at the speed of light, offering higher bandwidth than radio waves, but still generally slower and more susceptible to environmental factors than optical fiber. Option C (Optical fibre): This is the correct answer, providing superior speed, bandwidth, and reliability for data communication. Option D (All are operating at nearly the same propagation speed): While all electromagnetic waves (radio, microwave, light) travel at the speed of light in a vacuum, their effective data transmission speeds in a communication channel differ greatly due to medium properties and technology, with optical fiber being superior.

Question 31

Which protocol provides E-mail facility among different hosts ?

Accepted Answer

Correct Option: SMTP. The Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) is the standard communication protocol used for sending and relaying electronic mail (email) between mail servers. When an email is sent, it typically travels from the sender's client to their mail server, and then to the recipient's mail server, all via SMTP. Option A (SMTP): This is the correct answer. SMTP is fundamental for email transmission. Option B (FTP): FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is used for transferring files between computers, not for email. Option C (TELNET): TELNET is a network protocol used for remote command-line access to servers, not for email. Option D (SNMP): SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is used for monitoring and managing network devices, not for email communication.

Question 32

is one reason for problems of data integrity.

Accepted Answer

Correct Option: Data inconsistency. Data inconsistency is a direct reason for problems of data integrity. Data integrity ensures data is accurate, complete, and consistent. Inconsistency occurs when the same data exists in different forms or locations and these versions do not match, leading to unreliable information. Option A (Data redundancy): Data redundancy (storing data multiple times) can lead to inconsistency if not managed, but inconsistency itself is the direct integrity problem. Option B (Data inconsistency): This is the correct answer. Inconsistent data directly violates data integrity, as the data is no longer reliable or accurate. Option C (Security constraints): Security constraints are measures to protect data integrity and prevent unauthorized access or modification, not a cause of integrity problems. Option D (Unauthorized access of data): Unauthorized access is a security breach that can result in data integrity problems (e.g., data corruption), but the integrity problem itself is the state of the data (e.g., inconsistency), not the act of access.

Question 33

How many types of arithmetic operations does the ALU of computer perform?

These pages are then mapped to physical memory frames. This allows for non-contiguous memory allocation. Option A (Frames): Frames are fixed-size blocks of physical memory, not logical memory. Option B (Segments): Segments are variable-size blocks of logical memory used in segmentation, which is a different memory management technique. Option C (Packets): Packets are units of data used in network communication, unrelated to memory management. Option D (Pages): This is the correct answer. Pages are fixed-size blocks of logical memory, a core concept in paging.

Question 39

Which of the following memories refresh many times per second?

Accepted Answer

Correct Option: Dynamic RAM. Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) requires periodic refreshing (recharging) many times per second to maintain the data stored in its capacitors. Capacitors naturally leak charge, so without refreshing, the data would quickly be lost. This dynamic nature is why it's called 'dynamic'. Option A (EPROM): EPROM (Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory) is non-volatile and does not require refreshing. Option B (ROM): ROM (Read-Only Memory) is non-volatile and does not require refreshing. Option C (Static RAM): Static RAM (SRAM) uses latches (flip-flops) to store data, which do not require refreshing as long as power is supplied. Option D (Dynamic RAM): This is the correct answer. DRAM's reliance on charge storage in capacitors necessitates constant refreshing.

Option C (WINDOWS 98): A graphical operating system by Microsoft. Option D (ACCESS): This is the correct answer. Microsoft Access is a database management system (DBMS) application, not an operating system.

Question 42

The process of preparing a floppy diskette for use is called :

Accepted Answer

Correct Option: formatting. Formatting a storage device, such as a floppy diskette, is the process of preparing it for initial use by an operating system. This involves creating a file system (e.g., FAT) on the disk, which organizes its surface into tracks and sectors and sets up the necessary data structures for storing and retrieving files. Formatting typically erases all existing data. Option A (assembling): Assembling refers to converting assembly code to machine code or physically putting parts together, unrelated to disk preparation. Option B (translating): Translating involves converting code or language from one form to another, not disk preparation. Option C (parsing): Parsing is the analysis of a string of symbols (like code) to determine its grammatical structure, a concept in compilers. Option D (formatting): This is the correct answer. Formatting prepares a storage medium for data storage by creating a file system.

Question 43

How many bits are there in an Ethernet address ?

Accepted Answer

Standard Ethernet MAC addresses are $text{48-bit}$ long, typically represented as $text{12}$ hexadecimal digits (e.g., $text{00:1A:2B:3C:4D:5E}$). These addresses are globally unique and assigned by manufacturers. Option A (64 bits): While some identifiers use $text{64 bits}$ (e.g., IPv6 interface IDs), standard Ethernet MAC addresses are not $text{64-bit}$. Option B (48 bits): This is the correct answer. Ethernet MAC addresses are $text{48-bit}$ long. Option C (32 bits): $text{32-bit}$ addresses are characteristic of IPv4, which are logical network addresses, not physical Ethernet addresses. Option D (16 bits): $text{16-bit}$ addresses are too short for the global uniqueness required by Ethernet MAC addresses.

Question 44

Convert the following sentence into Simple Past Tense: Sohrab rushes forward to help the old lady cross the road.

Accepted Answer

Correct Option: Sohrab rushed forward to help the old lady cross the road.. To convert a sentence from Simple Present Tense ('rushes') to Simple Past Tense, the verb needs to be changed to its past simple form. The past simple of 'rushes' is 'rushed'. Option A uses past perfect ('had rushed'). Option C uses past continuous ('was rushing'). Option D uses present continuous ('is rushing') and is also a duplicate/malformed option. Therefore, 'Sohrab rushed forward to help the old lady cross the road' is the correct simple past tense conversion.

Question 45

Which of the following is not a Tatsam masculine word?

Accepted Answer

Correct Option: जिह्वा (Jihva - tongue). Tatsam words are words of Sanskrit origin used in Hindi without change. 'काष्ठ' (wood), 'पारद' (mercury), and 'पक्ष' (side/wing) are all masculine Tatsam words. However, 'जिह्वा' (tongue) is a feminine Tatsam word. The question asks for the word that is NOT a Tatsam masculine word, making 'जिह्वा' the correct answer as it is feminine.

Question 46

Choose the correct option which has the same relation like that in the given words: haphazard : methodical :: arduous :

Accepted Answer

Correct Option: facile. The relationship between 'haphazard' and 'methodical' is one of antonyms (opposites). Haphazard means lacking any obvious principle of organization, while methodical means done according to a systematic or established procedure. Similarly, 'arduous' means involving or requiring strenuous effort; difficult and tiring. Its antonym is 'facile', which means easily achieved or effortless. Options A (gruelling), B (hellacious), and C (strenuous) are synonyms of 'arduous', not antonyms.

Question 47

What does 'C' stand for in MICR?

Accepted Answer

Correct Option: Character. The acronym MICR stands for Magnetic Ink Character Recognition. Therefore, 'C' specifically denotes 'Character'. Option A (Code), Option B (Colour), and Option C (Computer) are incorrect as they do not represent the 'C' in the standard MICR terminology.

Question 48

In MS-Word, what is the shortcut for displaying the full page as they are printed?

Accepted Answer

Correct Option: Ctrl+F2. To display the full page as it would appear when printed (Print Preview) in MS-Word, the correct shortcut is Ctrl+F2. Option B (Ctrl+F1) typically shows/hides the ribbon. Options C (Shift+F2) and D (Shift+F1) are not standard shortcuts for print preview; Shift+F2 is often used for copying text, and Shift+F1 for revealing formatting.

Question 49

A computer executes programs in the sequence:

Accepted Answer

Correct Option: Fetch, Decode, Execute. The fundamental cycle of CPU operation is the Fetch-Decode-Execute cycle. First, an instruction is fetched from memory. Second, it is decoded to determine the operation. Finally, the operation is executed. Option A includes 'Store' which is a separate operation. Options C and D present an incorrect order of these crucial steps.

Question 50

Fill in the blanks with an appropriate option: He died fighting his country.

Accepted Answer

Correct Option: for, of. The correct prepositions to complete the sentence are 'for' and 'of'. One fights 'for' a cause or entity (his country). The phrase 'died of' is used to indicate the cause of death, but here 'died fighting' implies the manner or purpose. 'Fighting for his country' is the most appropriate and grammatically correct construction. Options B, C, and D use incorrect prepositions like 'on' or 'in' which do not fit the context of fighting for a nation.

Question 51

In the given question, find out which part of the sentences (I / II / III) has an error. In case of 'No error' answer would be IV. Choose the correct option accordingly. Each of them / had a different version / of the crime / No error

Accepted Answer

Correct Option: IV. The sentence 'Each of them had a different version of the crime' is grammatically correct. 'Each of them' takes a singular verb, which 'had' is. 'A different version' is correctly phrased, and 'of the crime' is also correct. There are no grammatical errors in parts I, II, or III. Therefore, the correct option is IV, indicating 'No error'.

Question 52

Choose the correctly spelt word from the following:

Accepted Answer

Correct Option: Acquaintance. The correct spelling for the word meaning a person's knowledge or experience of something, or a slight friendship, is 'Acquaintance'. Options A, B, and D are misspelled versions of the word, typically involving incorrect vowel combinations or missing letters like 'c' or 'u'.

Question 53

What is the correct meaning of 'spurious' in the following sentence? The official was arrested on various spurious charges.

Accepted Answer

Correct Option: fake. The word 'spurious' means not being what it purports to be; false or fake. In the context of 'spurious charges', it implies that the charges are not genuine or are fabricated. Option B ('bona fide') and C ('authentic') are antonyms of 'spurious'. Option D ('similar') does not capture the meaning of falsehood or illegitimacy. Thus, 'fake' is the most accurate meaning.

Question 54

Which of the following is meant by the idiom "Egg on"?

Accepted Answer

Correct Option: to urge. The idiom 'to egg on' means to encourage someone to do something, especially something foolish or risky. It implies urging or inciting. Option A ('to apologize') means to express regret. Option B ('to sympathize') means to feel or express pity and compassion. Option C ('to comfort') means to ease the grief or distress of. None of these align with the meaning of 'egg on'.

Question 55

Which of the following options is the opposite of the word 'onerous'?

Accepted Answer

Correct Option: easy. The word 'onerous' means involving a great deal of effort, trouble, or difficulty; burdensome. Therefore, its opposite would be something that is not difficult or burdensome. Option C ('easy') perfectly fits this description. Options A ('austere') and B ('spartan') relate to severity or simplicity, not ease. Option D ('trying') is a synonym for difficult, making it an antonym of 'easy' and a near-synonym of 'onerous'.

Question 56

Complete the given sentence using the correct option: The nasty neighbour had been spreading gossip.

Accepted Answer

Correct Option: malicious. The adjective 'nasty' describes the neighbour, suggesting a negative trait. Therefore, the gossip they spread would likely also be negative or harmful. 'Malicious' means intending or intended to do harm, which fits perfectly with 'nasty' and 'gossip'. Option A ('amiable') means friendly. Option C ('benign') means gentle or kind. Option D ('tender') means delicate or soft. These positive or neutral adjectives contradict the context set by 'nasty'.

Question 57

What is the synonym of the word 'fractious'?

Accepted Answer

Correct Option: contentious. The word 'fractious' means irritable and quarrelsome, or difficult to control; unruly. A synonym would be a word with a similar meaning. Option C ('contentious') means causing or likely to cause an argument; controversial, or given to arguing. This aligns well with 'fractious'. Option A ('affable') means friendly. Option B ('ingratiating') means intended to gain approval. Option D ('acquiescent') means ready to accept something without protest. These are all antonyms or unrelated.

Question 58

Basically, how many letters are there in Hindi?

Accepted Answer

Correct Option: 52. In the Devanagari script, which is used for Hindi, there are typically 52 letters (वर्ण) in total, comprising 13 vowels (स्वर) and 39 consonants (व्यंजन). This count includes the standard letters and commonly used additional letters like the conjuncts. Options A, B, and D represent incorrect counts for the total number of letters in Hindi.

Question 59

Which Sandhi is used in 'न्यून'?

Accepted Answer

Correct Option: यण् (Yan). The word 'न्यून' is formed by the combination of 'नि' + 'ऊन'. In this combination, the short 'इ' sound from 'नि' combines with the long 'ऊ' sound from 'ऊन' to form 'यू'. This transformation, where 'इ/ई' + dissimilar vowel becomes 'य', 'उ/ऊ' + dissimilar vowel becomes 'व', and 'ऋ' + dissimilar vowel becomes 'र', is characteristic of 'यण् संधि' (Yan Sandhi). Options A (Ayadi), C (Dirgh), and D (Guna) involve different vowel combination rules.

Question 60

Which of the following words is spelled correctly?

Accepted Answer

Correct Option: प्रेयसि. Among the given options, 'प्रेयसि' is the correctly spelled word, meaning beloved or dear one. Option A should be 'कृशांगी' (slender-bodied). Option B 'चातकिनी' is incorrect; the correct word for a female Chatak bird is 'चातकी'. Option C 'कोमलांगिनी' is incorrect; it should be 'कोमलांगी' (soft-bodied). Thus, 'प्रेयसि' is the only word spelled accurately.

Question 61

In the sentence 'अलका कहती है कि मैं तृष्णा की चिट्ठियाँ पढ़ सकती हूँ' (Alka says that I can read Trishna's letters), what is the grammatical introduction of the underlined word 'अलका'?

Accepted Answer

Correct Option: Noun, Proper, Feminine, Singular, Nominative case. The underlined word 'अलका' is a proper noun, referring to a specific person. It is feminine and singular. In the sentence, 'अलका' is the subject performing the action of 'कहती है' (says). Therefore, it is in the nominative case (कर्ताकारक). Options B (Dative), C (Genitive), and D (Accusative) are incorrect as they represent different grammatical roles (indirect object, possession, direct object, respectively) which 'अलका' does not fulfill here.

Question 62

In the sentence 'ऐसा न हो कि कोई आ जाए' (Lest someone comes), the underlined word 'कोई' is a/an -

Accepted Answer

Correct Option: Indefinite pronoun. The word 'कोई' in this sentence refers to an unspecified person, indicating uncertainty about who might come. This function is characteristic of an 'अनिश्चयवाचक सर्वनाम' (Indefinite pronoun). Option A (Reflexive pronoun) refers back to the subject. Option B (Compound pronoun) is a broader category not specifically fitting here. Option C (Interrogative pronoun) is used for asking questions. Thus, 'कोई' is an indefinite pronoun.

Question 63

In 'बूंद-बूँद से घड़ा भरता है' (The pot fills drop by drop), the underlined word 'भरता है' is a/an -

Accepted Answer

Correct Option: Intransitive. The verb 'भरना' (to fill) can be used both transitively and intransitively. In the sentence 'बूंद-बूँद से घड़ा भरता है', the pot is filling by itself, meaning the action of filling is not being done to a direct object by an external agent. The subject 'घड़ा' is undergoing the action. Therefore, 'भरता है' is used intransitively here. If it were 'वह घड़ा भरता है' (He fills the pot), it would be transitive. Options A (Transitive) and C (Ditransitive) require a direct object. Option D (Compound) refers to a verb formed by combining two or more verbs.

Question 64

The idiom that expresses the meaning 'to speak clearly' is -

Accepted Answer

Correct Option: दो टूक बात कहना (To speak in two clear pieces/To speak frankly). The idiom 'दो टूक बात कहना' literally means to say something in two clear pieces, implying speaking frankly, directly, and without ambiguity. This perfectly conveys the meaning 'to speak clearly'. Option A ('बात तक न पूछना') means to ignore completely. Option B ('गाल बजाना') means to boast or brag. Option D ('बात का धनी') means someone who keeps their promises or is good with words. None of these convey the sense of speaking clearly.
