Question : Directions: Select the option that is related to the fourth term in the same way as the first term is related to the second term and the fifth term is related to the sixth term. 729 : 90 :: ? : 56 :: 512 : 72
Option 1: 323
Option 2: 343
Option 3: 352
Option 4: 335
Correct Answer: 343
Solution : Given: 729 : 90 :: ? : 56 :: 512 : 72
Like, (729 : 90)→90 = 9 × 10; (9)3 = 729 (512 : 72)→72 = 8 × 9; (8)3 = 512 Similarly, follow the same pattern for (? : 56)→56 =

Question : Two men and 7 women can complete a work in 28 days, whereas 6 men and 16 women can do the same work in 11 days. In how many days will 5 men and 4 women, working together, complete the same work?
Option 1: 20
Option 2: 18
Option 3: 14
Option 4: 22
Correct Answer: 22
Solution : Given, 2 men and 7 women can complete a work in 28 days 6 men and 16 women can do the same work in 11 days Use the following formula to solve the question: $\frac{M_{1}\times D_{1}}{W_{1}}=\frac{M_{2}\times D_{2}}{W_{2}}$ Where $M_1$ and $M_2$ are men, $D_1$ and
Question : The distance between the points $(4, 8)$ and $(k, –4)$ is $13$. What is the value of $k$?
Option 1: 1
Option 2: 3
Option 3: –1
Option 4: –3
Correct Answer: –1
Solution : Given: The distance between the points (4, 8) and $(k, –4)$ is 13. Since we know that distance formula is $\sqrt{(x_2–x_1)^2+(y_2–y_1)^2}$. $13=\sqrt{(k–4)^2+(–4–8)^2}$ Squaring both sides of the above equation, we get, $13^2=(k–4)^2+(–4–8)^2$ ⇒ $169=k^2+16–8k+144$ ⇒ $k^2–8k–9=0$ ⇒ $k^2–9k+k–9=0$ ⇒ $k(k–9)+1(k–9)=0$ ⇒ $(k–9)(k+1)=0$ ⇒ $k=9,–1$ Hence,
Question : A sector of a circle of radius 10 cm is formed at a 60° angle at the centre. What will be its area $($take $\pi=3.14)?$
Option 1: 52.33 cm2
Option 2: 75.28 cm2
Option 3: 60.67 cm2
Option 4: 55.00 cm2
Correct Answer: 52.33 cm2
Solution : Given: The radius of the circle is 10 cm. Sector is with an angle, $\theta$ = 60°. Area of the sector = $\pi r^2× \frac{\theta}{360°}$ = $3.14×10^2× \frac{60°}{360°}$ = 52.33 cm2 So, the area of the sector is 52.33 cm2.
Question : Select the correct direct form of the given sentence.

Option 2: Sanjeev said, "I will surely succeed.
Option 3: Sanjeev said, "I am going to succeed surely."
Option 4: Sanjeev says, "I have succeeded surely."
Correct Answer: Sanjeev said, "I will surely succeed.

Question : If the cost price of 28 oranges is equal to the selling price of 24 oranges, then the profit percentage is:
Option 1: $16 \frac{2}{3}$%
Option 2: $16 \frac{1}{3}$%
Option 3: $18 \frac{2}{3}$%
Option 4: $18 \frac{1}{3}$%
Correct Answer: $16 \frac{2}{3}$%
Solution : Given: The cost price of 28 oranges equals the selling price of 24 oranges. Let the selling price of 1 orange = Rs. 1 So, the cost price of 28 oranges = selling price of 24 oranges = 1 × 24 = 24 Selling
Question : In a mixture of 55 litres fruit juice and water are in the ratio of 4 : 1. How much water (in litres) must be added to make the mixture ratio 2 : 1?
Option 1: 9
Option 2: 22
Option 3: 11
Option 4: 12
Correct Answer: 11
Solution : Given: Quantity of mixture = 55 litres The ratio of fruit juice and water = 4 : 1 Let $x$ litres water be added to make the mixture ratio 2 : 1. Initial quantity of fruit juice = $\frac{55}{5}×4=44$ litres Initial quantity of water =
