Question : Directions: Study the given pattern carefully and select the number that can replace the question mark (?) in it. (NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into their constituent digits. E.g.13 - operations on 13 such as adding/subtracting/multiplying etc. to 13 can be performed. Breaking down 13 into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is not allowed.) (6, 2, 34) (1, 5, 13) (9, 1, ?)
Option 1: 25
Option 2: 19
Option 3: 16
Option 4: 13
Correct Answer: 25
Solution : Given: (6, 2, 34); (1, 5, 13); (9, 1, ?)
In the given sets, multiply the first and second numbers by 3, then subtract the resultant with 2 to get the third number. Like, (6, 2, 34)→(6 × 2) × 3 = 12 × 3
Question : Comprehension: In the following passage, some words have been deleted. Read the passage carefully and select the most appropriate option to fill in each blank. Any (1)_____ that revolves around a planet is a satellite. Mother Earth has a natural satellite on the moon. The Earth is circled by a lot of man-made or artificial satellites. In 1957, the Soviet Sputnik was the first to be (2)_____ into space. There are currently a number of artificial satellites launched into space by various nations. These satellites make it possible for us to talk on the phone, watch television, predict the weather, map the various surfaces of the earth, and learn more about the world in which we live. How does a satellite get started? It is typically launched into space by means of a rocket. After ascending into the thinner air layers above the earth, the satellite is released from the rocket. For a successful satellite launch, a rocket's speed is carefully calculated and controlled. Every object in space is pushed towards the Earth's centre by gravity. The inertia of motion will propel the object into space if it has its own velocity of motion. When the orbital velocity is exactly right, these two opposing forces are balanced, causing the satellite to (3) ______ towards the earth while still hovering over its surface. earth in a 24-hour period; It doesn't change when compared to a point on the surface of the earth. These orbits are typically used by satellites for communication and weather. The camera on the weather satellites takes pictures and sends them back to Earth. These are helping aid in weather forecasting. Radio receivers and amplifiers on communication satellites can (4) _____ waves back at a frequency that is different from the one the satellite received. The beaming frequencies of satellites that are 'parked' too close to one another must not interfere with one another. Television signals can be transmitted from one location to another using broadcast satellites, and scientists can (5) _____ scientific data from numerous satellites. Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank no. 1.
Option 1: piece
Option 2: being
Option 3: body
Option 4: object

Hence, the correct answer is 40095.
Question : Directions: Select the related letter cluster from the given alternatives. ACF : GIL :: OQT : ?
Option 1: VXY
Option 2: UWZ
Option 3: RSV
Option 4: VXZ
Correct Answer: UWZ
Solution : Given: ACF : GIL :: OQT : ?

Question : Directions: Read the following pie chart carefully to answer the question. Distribution of sales of Hindi and English newspapers in five localities (A, B, C, D, and E)
English newspapers: Hindi newspapers:
What is the central angle corresponding to the sale of Hindi newspapers in locality E?
Option 1: $80^\circ$
Option 2: $90^\circ$
Option 3: $60^\circ$
Option 4: $108^\circ$
Correct Answer: $90^\circ$
Solution : The total distribution of sales of Hindi newspapers in five localities (A, B, C, D, and E) = 4000 + 2500 + 3600 + 2400 + 3500 = 16,000 Central angle of E = $\frac{4000}{16000}\times360^\circ = 90^\circ$ Hence, the correct answer is $90^\circ$.
