Question : Of the three numbers, the first is 4 times the second and 3 times the third. If the average of all three numbers is 95, what is the third number?
Option 1: 76
Option 2: 60
Option 3: 130
Option 4: 57
Correct Answer: 60
Solution : Let the third number be $x$; the first number, $3x$; and the second number, $\frac{3x}{4}$. The average of the three numbers is 95. According to the question, $3x+\frac{3x}{4}+x=3×95$ $⇒\frac{12x+3x+4x}{4}=285$ $⇒19x=285×4$ $\therefore x=60$ Hence, the correct answer is 60.
Question : Comprehension: Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow. Plato is the earliest important educational thinker, and education is an essential element in 'The Republic' (his most important work on philosophy and political theory, written around 360 B.C.). In it, he advocates some rather extreme methods: removing children from their mothers' care and raising them as wards of the state, and differentiating children suitable to the various castes, the highest receiving the most education, so that they could act as guardians of the city and care for the less able. He believed that education should be holistic, including facts, skills, physical discipline, music, and art. Plato believed that talent and intelligence are not distributed genetically and thus can be found in children born to all classes, although his proposed system of selective public education for an educated minority of the population does not really follow a democratic model.
Aristotle considered human nature, habit, and reason to be equally important forces to be cultivated in education, the ultimate aim of which should be to produce good and virtuous citizens. He proposed that teachers lead their students systematically, and that repetition be used as a key tool to develop good habits, unlike Socrates' emphasis on questioning his listeners to bring out their own ideas. He emphasized the balancing of the theoretical and practical aspects of subjects taught, among which he explicitly mentions reading, writing, mathematics, music, physical education, literature, history, and a wide range of sciences, as well as play, which he also considered important.

Option 1: art and music

Option 3: theoretical aspects of education

Question : If $\frac{1}{x}+x=4$, then find $\frac{1}{x^2}+x^2$.
Option 1: 14
Option 2: 5
Option 3: 7
Option 4: 15
Correct Answer: 14
Solution : $\frac{1}{x}+x=4$ squaring both sides we get, ⇒ $(\frac{1}{x}+x)^2=4^2$ ⇒ $\frac{1}{x^2}+2×\frac{1}{x}×x+x^2=16$ ⇒ $\frac{1}{x^2}+x^2=16-2$ ⇒ $\frac{1}{x^2}+x^2=14$ Hence, the correct answer is 14.

Question : If $(x-\frac{1}{3})^2+(y-4)^2=0$, then what is the value of $\frac{y+x}{y-x}$?
Option 1: $\frac{11}{13}$
Option 2: $\frac{13}{11}$
Option 3: $\frac{16}{9}$
Option 4: $\frac{9}{16}$
Correct Answer: $\frac{13}{11}$
Solution : Given: $(x-\frac{1}{3})^2+(y-4)^2=0$ $(x-\frac{1}{3})^2=0$ , $(y-4)^2=0$ So, $x=\frac{1}{3}, y=4$ Now, $\frac{y+x}{y-x}=\frac{4+\frac{1}{3}}{4-\frac{1}{3}}=\frac{13}{11}$ Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{13}{11}$.
