Question : Direction: If 264 * 2 = 6, 870 * 3 = 11 then what should be 735 * 5 be?
Option 1: 05
Option 2: 12
Option 3: 16
Option 4: 03
Correct Answer: 12
Solution : Given: 264 * 2 = 6 870 * 3 = 11
Here, 264 * 2 → 264 ÷ 2 = 132 → 1 + 3 + 2 = 6 870 * 3 → 870 ÷ 3 = 290 → 2 + 9 + 0 =

Option 1: IPKU
Option 2: IPKV
Option 3: JPKU
Option 4: JPKV
Correct Answer: IPKU
Solution : Given: ROSE : IVQS :: SUIT : XLWT :: TIME : ?
Reverse the order of the letters of ROSE and SUIT and then add consecutive natural numbers in decreasing order (starting from 4) to the place values of the obtained letters, to get the
Question : Directions: Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as the numbers of the following sets. (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.) (9, 343, 2) (12, 729, 3)
Option 1: (98, 49, 92)
Option 2: (13, 4, 89)
Option 3: (12, 66, 20)
Option 4: (12, 125, 7)
Correct Answer: (12, 125, 7)
Solution : Given: (9, 343, 2); (12, 729, 3)
Here, the pattern followed is as follows – ⇒ (9, 343, 2)→9 – 2 = 7 and 73 = 343 ⇒ (12, 729, 3)→12 – 3 = 9 and 93 = 729

Question : Which of the following rocks is formed by the cooling and crystallisation of magma?
Option 1: Granite
Option 2: Chalk
Option 3: Coal
Option 4: Shell
Correct Answer: Granite

Granite is a rock that is formed by the cooling and crystallisation of magma. Magma, which is a molten rock material, cools and solidifies beneath the earth's surface to form granite.
Question : The radius of a circle is 10 cm. The angle made by chord AB at the centre of this circle is 60°. What is the length of this chord?
Option 1: 40 cm
Option 2: 20 cm
Option 3: 30 cm
Option 4: 10 cm
Correct Answer: 10 cm
Solution : Given, the radius of the circle = 10 cm Angle made by chord AB at the centre of this circle = 60° OA = OB = 10 cm OAB is an isosceles triangle. So, $\angle$OAB = $\angle$OAB = $\frac{180^\circ-60^\circ}{2}=60^\circ$ [by angle sum property.] Since,
