Question : What is the value of: $5\frac{1}{2}+7\frac{1}{2}+11\frac{1}{2}?$
Option 1: $\frac{49}{2}$
Option 2: $\frac{25}{2}$
Option 3: $\frac{29}{2}$
Option 4: $\frac{27}{2}$
Correct Answer: $\frac{49}{2}$
Solution : Given: $5 \frac{1}{2} + 7 \frac{1}{2} + 11 \frac{1}{2}$ = $\frac{11}{2} + \frac{15}{2} + \frac{23}{2}$ = $\frac{11+15+23}{2}$ = $\frac{49}{2}$ Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{49}{2}$.

Question : Alloy A contains metals x and y only in the ratio 5 : 2, while alloy B contains them in the ratio 3 : 4. Alloy C is prepared by mixing alloys A and B in the ratio 4 : 5. The percentage of $x$ in alloy C is:
Option 1: $55 \frac{1}{9}\%$
Option 2: $55 \frac{2}{9}\%$
Option 3: $55 \frac{5}{9}\%$
Option 4: $55 \frac{4}{9}\%$
Correct Answer: $55 \frac{5}{9}\%$
Solution : The ratio of x and y in Alloy A is 5 : 2, which means the quantity of metal $x$ in Alloy A is $\frac{5}{7}$. The ratio of x and y in Alloy B is 3 : 4, which means the quantity of metal
Question : Directions: In the following question, find the odd number from the given alternatives.
Option 1: 253
Option 2: 473
Option 3: 143
Option 4: 633
Correct Answer: 633
Solution : Let's check the options – First option: 253; 253 ÷ 11 = 23 Second option: 473; 473 ÷ 11 = 43 Third option: 143; 143 ÷ 11 = 13 Fourth option: 633; 633 is not divisible by 11.
The fourth option does not follow the
Question : If $\frac{(3 \sin \theta-\cos \theta)}{(\cos \theta+\sin \theta)}=1$, then the value of $\cot \theta$ is:
Option 1: 3
Option 2: 0
Option 3: 1
Option 4: 2
Correct Answer: 1
Solution : $\frac{(3 \sin \theta-\cos \theta)}{(\cos \theta+\sin \theta)}=1$ Divide the numerator and denominator by $\sin \theta$. ${(3 -\cot \theta)}={(\cot \theta+ 1)}$ ⇒ $2\cot \theta = 2$ ⇒ $\cot \theta=1$ Hence, the correct answer is 1.
Question : The population of the city is 20,000. It increases by 20% during the first year and 30% during the second year. The population after two years will be:
Option 1: 32,000
Option 2: 40,000
Option 3: 31,200
Option 4: 30,000
Correct Answer: 31,200
Solution : Population after two years $= P(1+\frac{R_1}{100})(1+\frac{R_2}{100})$ where $P$ is the initial population, $R_1$ is the rate of increase in the first year and $R_2$ is the rate of increase in the second year. $= 20000(1+\frac{20}{100})(1+\frac{30}{100})$ $= 20000(\frac{120}{100})(\frac{130}{100})$ $= 31,200$ Hence, the correct answer is 31,200.
Question : Motor skills are associated with which part of the brain?
Option 1: Frontal lobe
Option 2: Parietal Lobe
Option 3: Temporal Lobe
Option 4: Occipital Lobe
Correct Answer: Frontal lobe
