Option 1: 65
Option 2: 50
Option 3: 60
Option 4: 55
Correct Answer: 60
Solution : Given: 35 : 21 :: ? : 36 :: 40 : 24
Like, (35 : 21)→(35 ÷ 5) × 3 = 7 × 3 = 21 (40 : 24)→(40 ÷ 5) × 3 = 8 × 3 = 24 Similarly, follow the same pattern for
Question : Directions: Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as the numbers of the following sets. (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.) (5, 35, 7) (8, 32, 4)
Option 1: (11, 56, 5)
Option 2: (3, 27, 9)
Option 3: (4, 30, 7)
Option 4: (9, 38, 4)
Correct Answer: (3, 27, 9)
Solution : Given: (5, 35, 7); (8, 32, 4)
Here, (5, 35, 7)→5 × 7 = 35 (8, 32, 4)→8 × 4 = 32
Let's check each option – First option: (11, 56, 5)→11 × 5 = 55 ≠ 56 Second option: (3, 27, 9)→3
Question : The product of the digits of a 2-digit number is 12. If we add 36 to the number, the new number obtained is a number formed by the interchange of the digits. What is the number?
Option 1: 62
Option 2: 34
Option 3: 26
Option 4: 43
Correct Answer: 26
Solution : Let the unit digit of the number be $y$ and the ten digit be $x$. Number $= 10x + y$ Product of digits $= x × y = 12$ ---(i) According to the question, $10x + y + 36=10y + x$ $9y – 9x =

Question : Directions: In the following question, some parts of the sentence have errors, and some are correct. Find out which part of the sentence has an error. The number of that part is the answer. If a sentence is error-free, your answer is "No Error".
You have prepared well (1)/ for the examination (2)/ isn't it? (3)/ No Error (4)
Option 1: 1
Option 2: 2
Option 3: 3
Option 4: 4
Correct Answer: 3
Solution : The third part has an error.
The sentence is in the present perfect tense. Hence, the question tag must also follow the same tense. Moreover, "Isn't it" is used for inanimate objects, making it incorrect in this context.
A question tag is a short interrogative

Question : If $\frac{\cos \beta}{\sec \alpha}=15$ and $\frac{\sin \beta}{\sec \alpha}=16$, the value of $\sin ^2 \beta$ is:
Option 1: $\frac{256}{481}$
Option 2: $-\frac{256}{481}$
Option 3: $\frac{481}{256}$
Option 4: $-\frac{481}{256}$
Correct Answer: $\frac{256}{481}$
Solution : Given: $\frac{\cos \beta}{\sec \alpha}=15$ and $\frac{\sin \beta}{\sec \alpha}=16$ $\frac{\cos \beta}{\sec \alpha}=15$ ⇒ $\frac{\cos \beta}{15}=\sec \alpha$......................(equation 1) Again, $\frac{\sin \beta}{\sec \alpha}=16$ ⇒ $\frac{\sin \beta}{16}=\sec \alpha$........................(equation 2) From equations 1 and 2, we get: $\frac{\cos \beta}{15}=\frac{\sin \beta}{16}$ ⇒ $\frac{\cos \beta}{\sin \beta}=\frac{15}{16}$ ⇒ $\cot\beta = \frac{15}{16}$ Since $\cot\beta
