Correct Answer: LIGMZD

Solution : Given:
XPDJOA is written as DPXAOJ, and THBRUC is written as BHTCUR.

Like, XPDJOA is written as DPXAOJ –

And, THBRUC is written as BHTCUR –

Similarly, follow the same pattern for GILDZM –

Thus, GILDZM is written as LIGMZD in that code language. Hence,

Correct Answer: Due to refraction

Solution : The correct answer is Due to refraction.

The depth of a tank of water appears to be less than its depth due to the refraction of light. The light bends when it moves from a denser medium of water to a rarer medium

Correct Answer: 36

Solution : Wrongly entered marks = 98
Actual marks = 89
Average marks = actual average + 0.25
Let $x$ be the number of students.
Increase in marks = 98 – 89 = 9
Increase in average marks = $\frac{9}{x}$
So, 0.25 = $\frac{9}{x}$
⇒ $x$ =

Correct Answer: $\frac{25}{4}$ units

Solution :
Given:
$AD \perp BC, AC=26$ units, $CD=10$ units, $BC=42$ units, $\angle DAC=x$ and $\angle B=y$
In $\triangle ACD$,
$AC^2 = CD^2 + AD^2$
⇒ $26^2=10^2$ + $AD^2$
⇒ $AD^2$ = 676 – 100
$\therefore$ $AD$ = 24 units
Now, $BD = BC – CD$

Correct Answer: $-\sin ^2 \theta$

Solution : Given: $\frac{\left(1-2 \sin ^2 \theta \cos ^2 \theta\right)(\cot \theta+1) \cos \theta}{\left(\sin ^4 \theta+\cos ^4 \theta\right)(1+\tan \theta) \operatorname{cosec} \theta}-1,0^{\circ}<\theta<90^{\circ}$
$=\frac{\left(1-2 \sin ^2 \theta \cos ^2 \theta\right)(\frac{\cos \theta}{\sin \theta}+1) \cos \theta}{\left((\sin ^2 \theta+\cos ^2 \theta)^2-2 \sin ^2 \theta \cos ^2 \theta\right)(\frac {\sin \theta}{\cos \theta}+1) \operatorname{cosec}
