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.) (4, 16, 8); (2, 14, 9)
Option 1: (2, 8, 10)
Option 2: (2, 8, 6)
Option 3: (2, 8, 16)
Option 4: (2, 8, 1)
Correct Answer: (2, 8, 6)
Solution : Given: (4, 16, 8); (2, 14, 9)
Here, (4, 16, 8)→16 ÷ 4 = 4; 4 + 4 = 8 (2, 14, 9)→14 ÷ 2 = 7; 2 + 7 = 9
Let's check the options – First option: (2, 8, 10)→8 ÷

Question : A computer executes programs in the sequence of :
Option 1: Execute, Fetch, Decode
Option 2: Store, Fetch, Execute
Option 3: Fetch, Decode, Execute
Option 4: Decode, Fetch, Execute
Correct Answer: Fetch, Decode, Execute
Solution : The Correct Answer is- Fetch, Decode, Execute
The instruction cycle is divided into four steps: reading the address from memory, decoding the fetched instruction, and finally, executing the instruction. It is completed by the computer processor. The central processing unit keeps doing it

Question : Directions: Select the correct mirror image of the given combination when the mirror is placed at line MN as shown.
Solution : As per the mirror image properties, closer things appear close to the mirror in the reflection. Here, according to the information provided, the mirror is placed on the right side of the figure (on line MN). So, the left side of the reflected image will appear
Question : The compound ratio of the inverse ratio of the ratios $x:yz, y:xz$ and $z:xy$ is:
Option 1: $1:xyz$
Option 2: $xyz:1$
Option 3: $1 : 1$
Option 4: $x:yz$
Correct Answer: $xyz:1$
Solution : The inverse of $a$ is $\frac{1}{a}$ and a compound ratio is the ratio obtained when we compound two or more ratios through multiplication. For two ratios $m:n$ and $p:q$, the compound ratio is $mp:nq$. The inverse ratio of the ratios, $x:yz,y:xz$ and $z:xy$ is $yz:x,xz:y$
Question : Comprehension: In the following passage, some words have been deleted. Read the passage carefully and select the most appropriate option to fill in each blank.

Question : If $\triangle ABC$ and $\triangle DEF$ are congruent triangles, which of the following is FALSE?
Option 1: The ratio of AC to DF is 2 : 1.
Option 2: The perimeters of both the triangles are equal.
Option 3: AB = DE and BC = EF
Option 4: The ratio of the angles in both the triangles is the same.
Correct Answer: The ratio of AC to DF is 2 : 1.
Solution : Given: $ \triangle ABC$ and $\triangle DEF$ are congruent triangles. When two triangles are congruent, their corresponding sides and angles are also congruent. Option 1: The ratio of AC to DF is 2 : 1. This
Question : Three medians AD, BE, and CF of $\triangle ABC$ intersect at G. The area of $\triangle ABC$ is $36\text{ cm}^2$. Then the area of $\triangle CGE$ is:
Option 1: $12\text{ cm}^2$
Option 2: $6\text{ cm}^2$
Option 3: $9\text{ cm}^2$
Option 4: $18\text{ cm}^2$
Correct Answer: $6\text{ cm}^2$
Solution : Given: AD, BE, and CF are medians of $\triangle ABC$ intersect at G. The area of $\triangle ABC$ = $36\text{ cm}^2$ The median of the triangle divides the triangle into equal areas. $\therefore$ Area of $\triangle CGE$ = $ \frac{\text{Area of} \triangle ABC }{6}=\frac{36}{6}=6\text{
