Question : Identify a protein-digesting enzyme.
Option 1: Lipase
Option 2: Amylase
Option 3: Collagen
Option 4: Pepsin
Correct Answer: Pepsin

Question : In $\triangle{XYZ}$, right-angled at $Y$, if $\sin X = \frac{1}{2}$, find the value of $\cos X \cos Z + \sin X \sin Z$.
Option 1: $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$
Option 2: $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}$
Option 3: $\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}$
Option 4: $\sqrt{3}$
Correct Answer: $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$
Solution : Given: In $\triangle {XYZ}$, right-angled at $Y$. We know that the sum of all the angles in a triangle is 180°. $\sin X = \frac{1}{2}$ ⇒ $\sin X = \sin{30°}$ So, $\angle X = 30°$ Then $\angle Z = 60°$, because $\angle Y + \angle
Question : Directions: In the following question, select the missing number from the given series. 345, 356, 368, 381, 395, ?
Option 1: 409
Option 2: 408
Option 3: 406
Option 4: 410
Correct Answer: 410
Solution : Given: 345, 356, 368, 381, 395, ?
In the above-given series, add the increasing order of the numbers, starting from 11 to the previous number to get the next number of the series. 345 + 11 = 356; 356 + 12 = 368; 368 +

Question : The perimeter of a rhombus is $2p$ units, and the sum of the lengths of the diagonals is $m$ units. The area of the rhombus is:
Option 1: $\frac{m^{2}p}{4}$ sq. units
Option 2: $\frac{mp^{2}}{4}$ sq. units
Option 3: $\frac{m^{2} - p^{2}}{4}$ sq. units
Option 4: $\frac{p^{2} – m^{2}}{4}$ sq. units
Correct Answer: $\frac{m^{2} - p^{2}}{4}$ sq. units
Solution : Given that, the perimeter of a rhombus is $2p$ units, and the sum of the lengths of the diagonals is $m$ units. Let $d_1$ and $d_2$ be the diagonal of the rhombus. The perimeter of a rhombus $=2\sqrt{d_1^2+d_2^2}$ ⇒ $2p=2\sqrt{d_1^2+d_2^2}$ On
Question : The gas which turn into liquid at the lowest temperature among the following is
