Question : The third proportional of $a$ and $\frac{b^4}{4a}$ is:
Option 1: $\frac{b^8}{16 a^2}$
Option 2: $\frac{b^8}{8 a^2}$
Option 3: $\frac{b^8}{8 a^3}$
Option 4: $\frac{b^8}{16 a^3}$
Correct Answer: $\frac{b^8}{16 a^3}$
Solution : Let the third proportional of $a$ and $\frac{b^4}{4 a}$ be $x$ So, $a : \frac{b^4}{4 a} :: \frac{b^4}{4 a} : x$ ⇒ $\frac{a}{\frac{b^4}{4 a}}=\frac{\frac{b^4}{4 a}}{x}$ ⇒ $x = \frac{\frac{b^4}{4 a}\times \frac{b^4}{4 a}}{a}$ ⇒ $x= \frac{b^8}{16 a^3}$ Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{b^8}{16 a^3}$.

Question : Directions: Three statements are given followed by three conclusions numbered I, II, and III. Assuming the statements to be true, even if they seem to be at variance with commonly known facts, decide which of the conclusions logically follow(s) from the statements. Statements: Some teachers are scientists. All scientists are doctors. All doctors are engineers. Conclusions: I. Some doctors are teachers. II. Some engineers are teachers. III. Some doctors are scientists.
Option 1: Only conclusions II and III follow
Option 2: Only conclusions I and III follow
Option 3: All conclusions follow
Option 4: Only conclusions I and II follow
Correct Answer: All conclusions follow
Solution : The possible Venn diagram according to the given statements is as follows –
Let's analyse the conclusions – Conclusion I: Some doctors are teachers – From the above diagram, it can be seen that the circle of doctors and teachers intersects and has
Question : In $\triangle A B C, \angle B=78^{\circ}, A D$ is a bisector of $\angle A$ meeting BC at D, and $A E \perp B C$ at $E$. If $\angle D A E=24^{\circ}$, then the measure of $\angle A C B$ is:
Option 1: 30$^\circ$
Option 2: 38$^\circ$
Option 3: 32$^\circ$
Option 4: 42$^\circ$
Correct Answer: 30$^\circ$
Solution : $\angle$B = 78$^\circ$ AD is the bisector of $\angle$A meeting BC at D. AE$\perp$BC at E $\angle$ DAE = 24$^\circ$ If AD is the angle bisector and AE is the perpendicular on base BC, then $\angle$DAE = $\frac{1}{2}((\angle \text{B} - \angle \text{C}))$ Let the value
Question : Direction: In the following question, one statement is given, followed by two assumptions, I and II. You have to consider the statement to be true, even if it seems to be at variance from commonly known facts. You have to decide which of the given assumptions can definitely be drawn from the given statements. Indicate your answer.
Statement:
The value of an educated person will differ from that of an uneducated person.

Option 1: Neither assumption I nor II is implicit
Option 2: Only assumption I is implicit
Option 3: Only assumption II is implicit
Option 4: Both assumptions I and II are implicit
Correct Answer: Only assumption I is implicit
Solution : Given:
The given statement states that the value of an educated person and an uneducated person is not the same. From this, it can be concluded

Question : Comprehension:
Read the passage and answer the questions that follow.
The Roman Empire covered a vast stretch of territory that included most of Europe as we know it today and a large part of the Fertile Crescent and North Africa. The Roman Empire embraced a wealth of local cultures and languages; women had a stronger legal position then than they do in many countries today; but also that much of the economy was run on slave labor, denying freedom to substantial numbers of persons. From the fifth century onwards, the empire fell apart in the west but remained intact and exceptionally prosperous in its eastern half. Roman historians have a rich collection of sources to go on, which we can broadly divide into three groups: (a) texts, (b) documents and (c) material remains. Textual sources include letters, speeches, sermons, laws, and histories of the period written by contemporaries. These were usually called ‘Annals’ because the narrative was constructed on a year-by-year basis. Documentary sources include mainly inscriptions and papyri. Inscriptions were usually cut on stone, so a large number survived, in both Greek and Latin. The ‘papyrus’ was a reed-like plant that grew along the banks of the Nile in Egypt and was processed to produce sheets of writing material that was very widely used in everyday life. Thousands of contracts, accounts, letters, and official documents survive ‘on papyrus’ and have been published by scholars who are called ‘papyrologists’. Material remains include a very wide assortment of items that mainly archaeologists discover (for example, through excavation and field survey), for example, buildings, monuments and other kinds of structures, pottery, coins, mosaics, and even entire landscapes. Each of these sources can only tell us just so much about the past, and combining them can be a fruitful exercise, but how well this is done depends on the historian’s skill!
Question:
Who were papyrologists?
Option 1: People who processed papyrus into sheet
Option 2: Scholars who published documents
Option 3: Farmers who cultivated papyrus
Option 4: People who surveyed the reed like plants along the Nile
Correct Answer: Scholars who published documents
Solution : The second option is correct.
