Question : The base of a prism is a right-angled triangle with two sides 5 cm and 12 cm. The height of the prism is 10 cm. The total surface area of the prism is:
Option 1: 360 sq cm
Option 2: 300 sq cm
Option 3: 330 sq cm
Option 4: 325 sq cm
Correct Answer: 360 sq cm
Solution : Given: Height = 10 cm Two sides = 5 cm and 12 cm $\therefore$ Area of the base of the right prism = $\frac{1}{2}×5×12$ = 30 sq cm Other side of the right-angled triangle $=\sqrt{5^2+12^2}=\sqrt{25+144} = 13$ Curved surface area = perimeter of
Question : Comprehension:
Read the passage and answer the questions that follow.
The first time that Agha Shahid Ali spoke to me about his approaching death was on 25 April 2001. The conversation began routinely. I had telephoned to remind him that we had been invited to a friend’s house for lunch. Although he had been under treatment for cancer for some fourteen months, Shahid was still on his feet and perfectly lucid, except for occasional lapses of memory. I heard him thumbing through his engagement book and then suddenly he said: ‘Oh dear. I can’t see a thing.’ There was a brief pause and then he added: ‘I hope this doesn’t mean that I’m dying...’ I did not know how to respond: his voice was completely at odds with the content of what he had just said, light to the point of jocularity. I mumbled something innocuous: ‘No Shahid — of course not. You’ll be fine.’ He cut me short. In a tone of voice that was at once quizzical and direct, he said: ‘When it happens I hope you’ll write something about me.’
I was shocked into silence and a long moment passed before I could bring myself to say the things that people say on such occasions. ‘Shahid you’ll be fine; you have to be strong...’From the window of my study, I could see a corner of the building in which he lived, some eight blocks away. It was just a few months since he moved there: he had been living a few miles away, in Manhattan, when he had a sudden blackout in February 2000. After tests revealed that he had a malignant brain tumor, he decided to move to Brooklyn, to be close to his youngest sister, Samantha, who teaches at the Pratt Institute—a few blocks away from the street where I live. Shahid ignored my reassurances. He began to laugh and it was then that I realized that he was dead serious. I understood that he was entrusting me with a quite specific charge: he wanted me to remember him not through the spoken recitatives of memory and friendship, but through the written word. He knew that my instincts would have led me to search for reasons to avoid writing about his death: I would have told myself that I was not a poet; that our friendship was of recent date; that there were many others who knew him much better and would be writing from greater understanding and knowledge. All this Shahid had guessed and he had decided to shut off those routes while there was still time. ‘You must write about me.’ Finally, I said: ‘Shahid, I will: I’ll do the best I can.’
Question:
What disease was Shahid Ali suffering from?
Option 1: Brain tumour
Option 2: Blood cancer
Option 3: Loss of memory

Question : Direction: In the given question, select the related letter from the given alternatives.
JOKE : GLHB :: RISK : ?
Option 1: OFPH
Option 2: SJTL
Option 3: ULVN
Option 4: QHRJ
Correct Answer: OFPH
Subtract 3 from the position value of each letter of the word JOKE,
J – 3 = 10 – 3 = 7 → G
O – 3 = 15 – 3 = 12 → L
K

In the Indian Navy and Indian Air Force, a field marshal is akin to an admiral of the fleet or a marshal. On January 1, 1973, Sam Manekshaw was promoted and
Question : If $\tan\theta-\cot\theta=0$ and $\theta$ is positive acute angle, then the value of $\frac{\tan(\theta+15)}{\tan(\theta-15)}$ is:
Option 1: $3$
Option 2: $\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$
Option 3: $\frac{1}{3}$
Option 4: $\sqrt{3}$
Correct Answer: $3$
Solution : Given: $\tan\theta-\cot\theta=0$ and $\theta$ is a positive acute angle. Here $\tan\theta-\cot\theta=0$ ⇒ $\tan\theta=\cot\theta$ ⇒ $\theta=45°$ Now, $\frac{\tan(\theta+15)}{\tan(\theta–15)}$ = $\frac{\tan(45+15)}{\tan(45–15)}$ = $\frac{\tan60°}{\tan30°}$ = $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}}$ = $\sqrt{3}×\frac{\sqrt{3}}{1}=3$ Hence, the correct answer is $3$.

Question : Directions: Study the given pattern carefully and select the number that can replace the question mark (?) in it. (5, 19, 4); (1, 7, 4); (6, ?, 1) (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.)
Option 1: 7
Option 2: 9
Option 3: 19
Option 4: 13
Correct Answer: 19
Solution : Given: (5, 19, 4); (1, 7, 4); (6, ?, 1)
In the given sets, add the third number to the thrice of the first number to get the second number. Like, (5, 19, 4)→(5 × 3) + 4 = 15 + 4 = 19 And,
