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".
The new lecturer (1)/ seems to be very popular with (2)/ most of the class. (3)/ No Error (4)
Option 1: (1)
Option 2: (2)
Option 3: (3)
Option 4: (4)

Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.
The sentence is grammatically correct and conveys the intended meaning that the new lecturer is popular with most of the class.
Therefore, there are no errors in the sentence.
Question : Sum of the factors of $4b^2c^2-(b^2+c^2-a^2)^2$ is:
Option 1: $a+b+c$
Option 2: $2(a+b+c)$
Option 3: $0$
Option 4: $1$
Correct Answer: $2(a+b+c)$
Solution : $4b^2c^2-(b^2+c^2-a^2)^2$ $=(2bc)^2-(b^2+c^2-a^2)^2$ $=(2bc+b^2+c^2-a^2)(2bc-b^2-c^2+a^2)$ $=((b + c)^2-a^2)(a^2-(b^2+ c^2-2bc))$ $=(b + c + a) (b + c -a) (a^2 -(b-c)^2)$ $=(b+ c+a) (b + c -a) (a + b -c) (a -b + c)$ So, the required sum of factors is given as $b+c+a+b+c-a+a+b-c+a-b+ c=2(a+b+c)$ Hence, the
Question : Which of the following is the operation executed on data stored in registers?
Option 1: Bit-operation
Option 2: Macro-operation
Option 3: Micro-operation
Option 4: Byte-operation
Correct Answer: Micro-operation
Solution : The correct answer is Micro-operation.
A micro-operation is an operation performed on data stored in registers in computer architecture and digital design. Micro-operations are fundamental operations that alter register contents at a very low level and they are often employed in the control and data
Question :
The enzyme in whose presence glucose and fructose are converted into alcohol is
Option 1:
Diastase
Option 2:
Maltase
Option 3:
Invertase
Option 4: Zymase
Correct Answer: Zymase
Solution : The correct option is zymase.
Zymase is an enzyme complex present in yeast cells that plays an important part in the fermentation process. It catalyses the transformation of glucose and fructose (simple sugars) into ethanol (alcohol) and CO2. This biochemical reaction is essential in the
Question : Find the fraction which bears the same ratio to $\frac{1}{27}$ that $\frac{3}{7}$ does to $\frac{5}{9}$.
Option 1: $\frac{5}{9}$
Option 2: $\frac{1}{35}$
Option 3: $\frac{45}{7}$
Option 4: $\frac{7}{45}$
Correct Answer: $\frac{1}{35}$
Solution : Let the required fraction be $x$. As per the question, $\frac{x}{\frac{1}{27}}=\frac{\frac{3}{7}}{\frac{5}{9}}$ ⇒ $27x=\frac{27}{35}$ $\therefore x=\frac{1}{35}$ Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{1}{35}$.
Question : Directions: In the following question, out of the four alternatives, select the alternative that will improve the bracketed part of the sentence. In case no improvement is needed, select "No Improvement".
He spoke as though his throat (had had) suffered an injury
(1) has had
(2) had
(3) would have
(4) No Improvement
Correct Answer: (2)
Solution : The sentence can be improved using the second option.
The presence of "as though" indicates that the sentence is in a subjunctive mood. The verb "had" in the past perfect tense is used in the subjunctive mood to express a hypothetical or imaginary situation that
Question : If the side of an equilateral triangle is 16 cm, then what is its area?
Option 1: $81 \sqrt{3} \mathrm{~cm}^2$
Option 2: $48 \sqrt{3} \mathrm{~cm}^2$
Option 3: $32 \sqrt{3} \mathrm{~cm}^2$
Option 4: $64 \sqrt{3} \mathrm{~cm}^2$
Correct Answer: $64 \sqrt{3} \mathrm{~cm}^2$
Solution : Given: Sides of the triangle = 16 cm Area of an equilateral triangle with sides $a$ = $\frac{\sqrt3}{4} (a)^2$ $=\frac{\sqrt3}{4}\times 16\times 16$ $= 64\sqrt{3}$ Hence, the correct answer is $64\sqrt3\ \mathrm{cm^2}$.
Question : Alcohol is more volatile than water because ________ is lower than water.
Option 1: its boiling point
Option 2: its density
Option 3: its viscosity
Option 4: its surface tension
Correct Answer: its boiling point
Solution : The correct answer is its boiling point.
Because of its low boiling point of 78°C, distilling alcohol yields a much stronger solution than wine or beer. Because they are less polar than water, drinking alcohol (ethanol), and many other simple alcohols are more
Question : Two rifles are fired from the same place at a difference of 11 minutes 45 seconds. But a man who is coming towards the same place on a train hears the second sound after 11 minutes. Find the speed of the train (Assuming the speed of sound = 330 m/s).
Option 1: 72 km/h
Option 2: 36 km/h
Option 3: 81 km/h
Option 4: 108 km/h
Correct Answer: 81 km/h
Solution : Given: Time interval between two rifle fires = 11 minutes 45 seconds = 705 seconds Time taken for the man to hear the second sound = 11 minutes = 660 seconds Formula used: Distance travelled by the man on a train in 11 minutes
