The sets of numbers given in the alternatives are represented by two classes of alphabets as in the two matrices, given below. The columns and rows of Matrix (I) are numbered from 0 to 4 and that of Matrix (II) are numbered from 5 to 9. A letter from these matrices can be represented first by its row and next by its column, e.g. 'S' can be represented by 14,23, etc., and 'E' can be represented by 56, 68, etc. Similarly, you have to identify the set for the word.
'CURE'
Option 1: 04, 57, 10, 88
Option 2: 31, 21, 56, 85
Option 3: 88, 57, 10, 85
Option 4: 04, 21, 55, 86
Correct Answer: 88, 57, 10, 85
Solution : Given: CURE
Number representations of each letter: C → 31, 04, 88 U → 21, 57 R → 10, 55, 98 E → 02, 22, 43, 85, 56, 68
First option: 04, 57, 10, 88 E cannot be represented by 88.
Question : Sentences of a paragraph are given below in jumbled order. Arrange the sentences in the correct order to form a meaningful and coherent paragraph. A.

Question : If $x$ and $y$ are positive numbers such that $x - y = 5$ and $xy = 150$, the value of $(x + y)$ is:
Option 1: 45
Option 2: 25
Option 3: 35
Option 4: 15
Correct Answer: 25
Solution : Given: $x - y = 5$ and $xy = 150$ Squaring both sides of the given equation $x - y = 5$, we get, $(x - y)^2 = 5^2$ ⇒ $x^2 + y^2 - 2xy = 25$ ⇒ $x^2 + y^2 - 2 × 150
Question : $\cos \left(30^{\circ}+\theta\right)-\sin \left(60^{\circ}-\theta\right)=$ _____________.
Option 1: $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$
Option 2: $0$
Option 3: $\frac{1}{2}$
Option 4: $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$
Correct Answer: $0$
Solution : $\cos (30^{\circ}+\theta)-\sin (60^{\circ}-\theta)$ = $\cos (30^{\circ}+\theta)-\cos(90^{\circ}-(60^{\circ}-\theta))$ = $\cos (30^{\circ}+\theta)-\cos(90^{\circ}-60^{\circ}+\theta)$ = $\cos (30^{\circ}+\theta)- \cos (30^{\circ}+\theta)$ = $0$ Hence, the correct answer is $0$.

Question : A piece of wire, when bent to form a circle, will have a radius of 84 cm. If the wire is bent to form a square, the length of one side of the square is:
Option 1: 152 cm
Option 2: 132 cm
Option 3: 168 cm
Option 4: 225 cm
Correct Answer: 132 cm
Solution : Given: A piece of wire, when bent to form a circle, will have a radius of 84 cm. Length of the wire = circumference of the circle = $2\pi r$ ⇒ $2×\frac{22}{7}×84=528$ So, the perimeter of the square = 528 cm ⇒ One side
