Question : Directions: To attend an exam, Sudhir reached the school by travelling 5 km towards the south, and after a sharp left turn, he travelled for about 10 km. He again made a sharp left turn and reached the school by travelling 5 km more. Which direction is Sudhir's starting point from the school?
Option 1: East
Option 2: West
Option 3: North
Option 4: South
Correct Answer: West
Solution : Firstly, draw the direction and distance diagram according to the instructions –

Question : The angle of depression of two ships from the top of a lighthouse is $60^{\circ}$ and $45^{\circ}$ towards the east. If the ships are 300 metres apart, the height of the lighthouse (in metres) is:
Option 1: $200\left ( 3+\sqrt{3} \right )$
Option 2: $250\left ( 3+{\sqrt3} \right )$
Option 3: $150\left (3 +{\sqrt3} \right)$
Option 4: $160 \left (3+{\sqrt3} \right)$
Correct Answer: $150\left (3 +{\sqrt3} \right)$
Solution : In $\Delta ABC$ $\tan 60^{\circ} = \frac{AB}{BC}$ $⇒\sqrt{3} = \frac{AB}{BC}$ $⇒AB = \sqrt{3} BC \quad \text{-----------------------(1)}$ In $\Delta ABD$ $\tan 45^{\circ} = \frac{AB}{BD}$ $\Rightarrow 1 = \frac{AB}{BD}$ $⇒AB = BD \quad \text{---------------------------------(2)}$ From equation $(1)$ and equation $(2)$ $\Rightarrow BD = \sqrt{3}
Question : 10 men can do work in 25 days. After 12 days of work, 3 more men were engaged to finish the work. The number of days required to complete the remaining work is:
Option 1: 10
Option 2: 8
Option 3: 6
Option 4: 12
Solution : Given: 10 men can do a work in 25 days. After 12 days of work, 3 more men were engaged to finish the work. Here, $M_1=10,M_2=10+3=13,D_1=25-12=13$ We know, $M_1D_1= M_2D_2$ ⇒ 10 × 13 = 13 × D2 $\therefore$ D2 = 10 days

Correct Answer: TASTE
Solution : Given: ERADICATE
Let's compare all the option words with the word ERADICATE – First option: AREA; All the letters of AREA are present in the word ERADICATE. Second option: CARE; All the letters of CARE are present in the word ERADICATE. Third option: DICE; All
Question : Which of the following has pH value 7 ?
Option 1: Pure Water
Option 2: H2SO4
Option 3: Sodium carbonate
Option 4: HCl
Correct Answer: Pure Water
Solution : The correct option is pure water.

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.) (40, 120, 400) (18, 20, 78)
Option 1: (29, 23, 98)
Option 2: (56, 14, 108)
Option 3: (25, 27, 92)
Option 4: (11, 720, 660)
Correct Answer: (29, 23, 98)
Solution : Given: (40, 120, 400); (18, 20, 78)
Here, (40, 120, 400)→(120 × 3) + 40 = 360 + 40 = 400 (18, 20, 78)→(20 × 3) + 18 = 60 + 18 = 78
Let's check the options – First option: (29, 23,
Question : Direction: The bar diagram shows the monthly expenditure of a company. Study the graph and answer the question.
The percentage of money spent on miscellaneous is:
Option 1: $7\frac{2}{17}$%
Option 2: $17\frac{2}{17}$%
Option 3: $11\frac{1}{9}$%
Option 4: $9\frac{1}{11}$%
Correct Answer: $11\frac{1}{9}$%
Solution : Total spending = (80 + 10 + 20 + 10 + 15) = Rs. 135 lakhs Spending on miscellaneous products = Rs. 15 lakhs Required percentage = $\frac{\text{Miscellaneous items expenditure}}{\text{Total expenditure}} \times 100=\frac{15}{135} \times 100 = \frac{100}{9}=11\frac{1}{9}$% Hence, the correct answer is $11\frac{1}{9}$%.
