Question : Study the following table and answer the question that follows. A school has four sections A, B, C and D of Class IX students. The results of the Science and Mathematics examinations are shown in the following table.
What percentage of students of section C Passed in Science but failed in Mathematics?
Option 1: 8.70%
Option 2: 9.20%
Option 3: 9.85%
Option 4: 10.30%
Correct Answer: 8.70%
Solution : Number of students of section C Passed in Science but failed in Mathematics = 8 Total number of students in section C = 18 + 10 + 8 + 56 = 92 $\therefore$ Required percentage = $\frac{8}{92}$×100 = 8.70% Hence, the correct answer is 8.70%.
Question : Given below are four sentences in jumbled order. Pick the option that gives their correct order.
A. That is why, when a person shows off we say, 'as vain as a peacock'. B. It gives us the impression of being a very proud bird. C. But the fact is that the peacock is not vain, it displays its plumage to attract the peahen. D. When the peacock dances, it spreads its feathers.
Option 1: CABD
Option 2: DACB
Option 3: DBAC
Option 4: BCDA
Correct Answer: DBAC
Solution : The correct choice is the third option.
Sentence D introduces the specific action of the peacock, followed by sentence B explains the impression the peacock creates due to its display, suggesting that it seems proud, followed by sentence C which provides a clarification, dispelling
Question : Ram loses 12.5% of his money and after spending 75% of the remainder, is left with 630. How much money did Ram have initially?
Option 1: 2,080
Option 2: 2,880
Option 3: 2,205
Option 4: 2,808
Correct Answer: 2,880
Solution : Let $x$ be the total money. Money lost = 12.5% of $x$ Remaining money after losing = 87.5% of $x$ Money spent = 75% of 87.5% of $x$ Money left = 630 According to the question, 25% of 87.5% of $x= 630$ $⇒\frac{25 × 87.5
Question : Directions: In the following question, some parts of the sentence have errors, and some are correct. Find out which part of the sentence has an error. The number of that part is the answer. If a sentence is error-free, your answer is "No Error".
A person who sticks to one thing inspite of initial difficulties is sure to succeed in the end.
(1) A person who sticks to one thing
(2) is sure to succeed in the end.
(3) inspite of initial difficulties
(4) No Error
Option 1: (1)
Option 2: (2)
Option 3: (3)
Option 4: (4)
Correct Answer: (3)
Solution : The error lies in the third option.
Inspite of is not a valid word. It should be replaced with in spite of, which is a prepositional expression that means regardless of. This makes the sentence grammatically accurate.
The correct sentence is: "A person who
Question : Which of the following is equal to $[\frac{\cos \theta}{\sin \theta}+\frac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta}]$?
Option 1: $\operatorname{cosec} \theta \sec \theta$
Option 2: $\sec \theta\tan \theta$
Option 3: $\operatorname{cosec} \theta\tan \theta$
Option 4: $\cot \theta \sec \theta$
Correct Answer: $\operatorname{cosec} \theta \sec \theta$
Solution : Given: The expression is $[\frac{\cos \theta}{\sin \theta}+\frac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta}]$. We know the trigonometric ratios, $\frac{1}{\sin \theta} =\operatorname{cosec} \theta$ and $\frac{1}{\cos \theta} = \sec \theta$ and the trigonometric identity, $\sin^2\theta+\cos^2\theta=1$ $[\frac{\cos \theta}{\sin \theta}+\frac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta}]$ $=\frac{\sin^2\theta+\cos^2\theta}{\sin \theta\times \cos \theta}$ $=\frac{1}{\sin \theta\times \cos \theta}=\operatorname{cosec}
Question : Directions: In the following question below are given some statements followed by some conclusions based on those statements. Taking the given statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance from commonly known facts. Read all the conclusions and then decide which of the given conclusions logically follows the given statements. Statements: All T is G. All G is H. Conclusions: I. All T is H. II. No G is T. III. All H is G.
Option 1: All conclusions follow
Option 2: Only conclusion III follows
Option 3: Only conclusion I follows
Option 4: Only conclusion II follows
Correct Answer: Only conclusion I follows
Solution : The possible Venn diagram, according to the given statements is as follows –
Let's analyse the conclusions – Conclusion (I): All T is H – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that the circle representing T lies inside the circle representing
Question : What is the area (in sq. units) of the triangle formed by the graphs of the equations $2x + 5y - 12=0, x + y = 3,$ and $y = 0$?
Option 1: 3
Option 2: 2
Option 3: 5
Option 4: 6
Correct Answer: 3
Solution : According to the question Intersection point (P) of line $2x + 5y - 12 = 0$ and $y = 0$ ⇒ $2x + 5 × 0 - 12 = 0$ ⇒ $x = 6$ The point of intersection is P (6, 0). Intersection point (Q)
